DEFSEC Technologies Inc's stock fell by 5.25% and crossed down the 5-day SMA amid broader market weakness.
The company announced plans to expand its workforce to 39 by February 2026, which is expected to enhance its operational capacity significantly. This expansion is driven by an increased scope of work under the DSEF contract, leading to a projected rise in annualized program billings from CAD 5.1 million to CAD 8.3 million.
This workforce growth is anticipated to improve DEFSEC's financial stability and profitability, with gross margin contributions expected to increase substantially. However, the stock's decline reflects broader market conditions that may be impacting investor sentiment.
