Pro Investor Academy research

Research data through Oct 28, 2026. Research is updated periodically, not in real time.

Quality

46

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 46 of 100, in the weaker band of the covered universe. This is a research reading about business durability, not a view on the share price.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

—

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Weak

5

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 5 of 100, recorded as weak. No dividend is recorded for this company, so the reading rests on buybacks and dilution control. Share count has increased at about 15.0% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

In the company’s own words

What this company does

We are a defense technology provider delivering integrated capabilities across air, land, sea, space, and cyber. We develop and deploy autonomous systems, precision strike systems, counter-UAS technologies, space-based platforms, directed energy systems, and cyber and electronic warfare capabilities. We operate an international manufacturing footprint, delivering proven systems and capabilities in markets that we believe offer the potential for significant long-term growth. In addition, we believe that some of the innovative potential products, services and technologies in our R&D pipeline will emerge as new growth platforms in the future, creating additional market opportunities. Effective May 1, 2025 in connection with our acquisition of BlueHalo Financing Topco, LLC ("BlueHalo"), we operate our business in two reportable segments: (1) Autonomous Systems ("AxS") and (2) Space, Cyber and Directed Energy ("SCDE").

Uncrewed Aircraft Systems ("UAS"). Our family of uncrewed systems includes Group 1-3 UAS which are deployed globally and offer multi-mission capability, autonomy, versatility, reliability and ease of use, providing the warfighter with critical situational awareness.

Small UAS ("SUAS"): Small UAS in Groups 1 and 2 are designed for reliable operation at low altitudes, offering real-time observation and communication capabilities with easy transport, assembly, and quiet electric propulsion. Products include Puma LE, Puma 3 AE, Puma VTOL, P550, Raven B, and VAPOR 55 CLE. Systems within the SUAS portfolio utilize our common and interoperable handheld ground control systems and an array of spare parts and accessories.

Medium UAS ("MUAS"): Our Group 3 solutions include the JUMP 20, JUMP 20-X, and T-20. All are field-deployable and deliver extended endurance and increased payload capacity to unlock a broader set of uncrewed missions.
