New York, February 19, 2026, 06:51 EST — Premarket
- Ondas stock tacked on roughly 0.5% premarket, adding to yesterday’s 10.15% surge.
- The Sentrycs unit said it has rolled out its counter-drone systems for a state police office in Germany.
- Hood River Capital disclosed a 4.71% stake in Ondas, according to a Schedule 13G/A filing.
Ondas Inc climbed 0.5% to $11.13 ahead of Thursday’s opening bell. The move follows a 10.15% jump the previous session, with shares closing out Wednesday at $11.07 on a hefty 110.47 million shares traded, Investing.com data show.
This week, Ondas has been all over the place, looking every bit the headline stock as investors pick apart whether its foray into counter-drone and robotics is starting to produce steady orders rather than just the occasional deployment. The move matters for that reason.
There’s also a near-term catalyst on the calendar: the company rolls into a European security show next week, bringing along its new portable system. That’s stirred up activity in the tape ahead of the U.S. open.
Ondas announced Tuesday that its Sentrycs division has delivered and set up counter-drone systems for a German state police agency. Sentrycs takes a different approach, using protocol manipulation technology—referred to as “cyber over RF”—to seize control of unauthorized drones instead of relying on jamming. “Our deployment with the German State Police demonstrates the immediate impact of lawful, precise drone mitigation,” said Sentrycs CEO Tal Cohen. The company also called attention to the launch of its battery-powered Scout device, and pointed to a five-year “total addressable market” estimated at about $9.8 billion, representing the revenue opportunity Sentrycs sees in the handheld segment.

Hood River Capital Management, in a fresh Schedule 13G/A filing, reported ownership of 17,357,213 shares in Ondas—representing 4.71% of the company’s outstanding common stock.
West Palm Beach’s Ondas deals in autonomous systems and private wireless tech, counting Sentrycs as its counter-drone play within a wider defense-and-security lineup.
The company kept quiet on how much the German police contract is worth. Law-enforcement and defense deals like this? They’re notorious for delays and drawn-out timelines. As for those early premarket pops, they can evaporate fast when the main session gets going and liquidity comes back.
Sentrycs is launching Scout at Germany’s Enforce Tac event, slated for February 23-25, and investors are keeping an eye out for any specifics—follow-on orders, a peek at customer lists, or even sharper revenue projections.
