Axon Enterprise Inc. has seen its stock decline by 5.82%, hitting a 20-day low amid broader market weakness, with the Nasdaq-100 down 2.10% and the S&P 500 down 1.27%.

The partnership is expected to provide a robust digital foundation for African businesses, showcasing the potential for AI adoption and competitive advantages in the global market.
Despite the current stock decline, this partnership could position Axon favorably for future growth, as it taps into the burgeoning demand for digital infrastructure in Africa, potentially offsetting current market challenges.

Reason
Morgan Stanley analyst Meta Marshall lowered the firm's price target on Axon to $713 from $760 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The AI trade broadened out from semi names in 2025, helping infrastructure names, particularly within optical, notes the analyst, who believes that trade can continue, particularly in optical, through the first half of 2026. However, investors will "need to get more selective for full year returns given multiples," the analyst added in a year-ahead note on the group.

RBC Capital initiated coverage of Axon with an Outperform rating and $860 price target. The company's 25% revenue growth should sustain, driven by cross-sell/up-sell opportunities within the U.S. state and local public safety market, continued penetration into emerging customer verticals, and expansion into new product categories, the analyst tells investors in a research note. RBC believes Axon has a "strong position in a large and growing addressable market."
