Outperform

Reason

RBC Capital raised the firm's price target on AeroVironment to $300 from $275 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares after hosting meetings with its management team, with investor focus falling on its top-line outlook. AeroVironment believes a positive inflection in terms of its defense market is taking place, and the total addressable market growth should support multiple suppliers, even as competition is increasing, especially in the loitering munition market, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason

Stifel analyst Jonathan Siegmann raised the firm's price target on AeroVironment to $295 from $240 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm cites the company's new $650M debt and $875M equity financing for the target increase. Stifel says that while the market may focus initially on the dilution, it remains "excited" about AeroVironment's opportunity to invest in its core markets. The company's technologies are positioned to benefit from the Department of Defense's shifting requirements, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Overweight

Reason

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Colin Canfield initiated coverage of AeroVironment with an Overweight rating and $335 price target. Cantor views price appreciation as a multiyear journey, led by the continued growth of Group 1-3 drones, as well as significant expansion of munitions and air defense capabilities, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm is constructive regarding AeroVironment's recent Blue Halo acquisition and thinks ramping programs across munitions, counter UAS, directed energy, as well as stable services growth take pressure off the capital allocation process.

Outperform

Reason

RBC Capital raised the firm's price target on AeroVironment to $275 from $200 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares as part of a broader research note offering a positive outlook for "small cap defense tech" names. The sector is poised for continued outperformance, driven by the growth in FY26 defense spending, idiosyncratic positioning in growth markets - including space, missiles, missile defense, hypersonics, unmanned, and AI - as well as some company specific valuation mismatches, the analyst tells investors in a research note. RBC adds that it continues to favor AeroVironment within its peer group due to its valuation discount relative to peers and its enhanced competitive position post the Blue Halo acquisition.

Reason

Jefferies raised the firm's price target on AeroVironment to $285 from $275 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm updated its estimates for the $1.47B of net proceeds from the share/convertible issuance and corresponding paydown of the $965M of term loan/revolver. With the elimination of interest partially offset by share increase, Jefferies' FY26 EPS moves to $3.40 from $2.90 prior, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
