Ondas Inc. experienced a price drop of 5.05% as it crossed below the 5-day SMA, reflecting broader market weakness with the Nasdaq-100 down 1.40% and the S&P 500 down 0.73%.
Despite the stock's decline, Ondas has achieved Blue List certification for its Optimus drone from the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), confirming compliance with Department of War standards. This certification is expected to enhance its competitiveness in defense procurement and has led to an increased revenue forecast for fiscal year 2026, now projected between $170 million and $180 million, indicating strong growth potential.
The Blue List status may attract future contracts and partnerships, positioning Ondas favorably in the growing drone market, despite the current stock price movement.
Wall Street analysts forecast ONDS stock price to fall over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for ONDS is 12.00 USD with a low forecast of 10.00 USD and a high forecast of 17.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.

Stifel analyst Jonathan Siegmann raised the firm's price target on Ondas to $18 from $17 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares following last week's virtual investor day to present a teach-in of their Autonomous Systems portfolio and their recently acquired businesses. While Ondas is still in the early days of executing on their business model, the company's targets were "nicely above our estimates and we gained greater appreciation of their differentiated approach to the military drone space," the analyst tells investors following the event.
