Drone Technology Usages Are Expanding as a Rapid Pace for Military Applications & Purposes
Not bad for an 850 point market down day: I choose AVAV because they sell the Switchblade Drone that the U.S. is buying and sending to Ukraine. I choose GFI because gold does well when the market is in turmoil (smart people buy gold for safety). MRO because Oil companies had best 1st qtr ever. Ask
Whats the opinion the drone industry.
Take off your tinfoil hats and put on your helmets, it's time to discuss how much money is going to be made defeating the Ruzzia Orcs...

I’m going with AVAV weeklies. It’d be hilarious if they announced they won back the contract that caused that nasty drop on Monday & drone warfare isn’t going anywhere
AVAV call spread into earnings next week was the move Hoping spx pulls back a little again here, low balled closing my spread too much this morning.
Raymond James maliciously downgraded American defense company AVAV during an active war. That's un-American AF. Thank you for your attention to this matter 🫡🦅🇺🇲
Yeah but Reddit would have you believe everyone is a regard yoloing in to meme stocks, but my WM who has around 80 clients says most of them are highly diversified and in things that historically safe. I’m actually one of his few that has a small but more aggressive tranche with things like ASTS, RKLB, Spacex, AVAV etc. I think in general more people are open to owning equities than ever before.
Not a penny stock but just bought five AVAV stocks On news 24 minuttes ago $97,4M contract
Check AVAV and their LOCUST system…enough said…
AVAV moves a lot on defense news and contract expectations, so pullbacks aren’t unusual. If the long-term thesis (drones, defense demand) hasn’t changed, one red day doesn’t mean it’s broken.
TSLA AVAV for spring break IT IS!!!
fyck this dumbass sub ain’t nothing on here anyway other than dumb fucking MF talking like they have Tourette’s. Share something with a shred of value AVAV 🌕
at least those AVAV idiots have a day of respite, amirite lmao
No problem! Hope you made some of your money back today with AVAV rising 30 dlrs!
AVAV tagging along to fly drones into any extraterrestrial life forms along the way
Nancy Pelosi wins once again AVAV going straight up
Damn should have bought some AVAV calls at close yesterday.
Ok here’s the thing with AVAV. They have already made parts for the government which required extensive R&D, purchase of tooling, proprietary technology. Those expenses have already been paid by the government. The gov may be going out for bid, but they will not want to pay those start up fees again. Government is required to go out for bid every so often, it’s part of the deal. AVAV will not lose any business.
AVAV turning red in about 30mins
Kramer did a perfectly timed "Dow is 50k" on AVAV yesterday, curious who his target is today.
Buying that AVAV dip yesterday was a good idea
I intend to sell my calls when AVAV hits a price of 265-285, and for my shares 285-305 (I'm willing to hold my shares for quite some time though, as compared to my calls which expire in late May). Ideally, I can sell all my calls and shares before the upcoming earnings report next week, I have no clue if it'll be positive or negative and ideally wanna avoid the risk altogether, especially with calls. I'm kinda just winging it based off previous estimates of AVAV prices that I saw (it was expected to hit 340ish this year I remember seeing somewhere, of course that was before this deal of theirs went to shit). So these aren't super precise, wide range, plus while I am bullish on them still, the main catalyst I was relying on was a US attack on Iran. Now that it's already occurred and the market has reacted, I'm betting that the war gets further escalated somehow someway, but this is a lot more unlikely than the earlier prediction.
why all drone stock dived yesterday? AVAV even dived 40%
Breaking news phase 2 going to start within 24hrs !!! Calls on XLE, Chevron, ONDS, AVAV, KTOS
Keeping my eyes on AVAV, that price seems like a massive overreaction
Gonna be hilarious if AVAV goes right back to 300 in the next few days
Any chance AVAV rebounds before next tues?
Honestly, I had told myself if it ever hits 300 im selling, I was scared shitless since this is the most money I've ever put into a single investment. At 300 I was up 25 thousand in net profits and that was enough for me. I guess the lesson is play it safe, its better to sell early and lose out on possible greater profits than it is to hold and lose everything. One more thing, create stop losses so that you will auto sell before losing too much money, this is also important. Finally, wallstreetbets isn't a great place to emulate in terms of trading. I didn't do a whole lotta research, I got more lucky than anything. If you still have AVAV shares then its ok, might seem like a big loss but its highly unlikely AVAV keeps going down, however their earnings report is on Mar 10th so be careful. If you have AVAV calls...... I hope you got an expiration date in May or beyond.
I sold all my stuff this morning when AVAV hit 300 right b4 the crash, bought back in at 200 with calls and stuff. Earnings report on Mar 10 is gonna be the make it or break it.
I think the stock crashing from $300 to $200 is an overreaction to this news, because: \- the news is that they *potentially* lost a huge contract, not that they *definitely* lost a huge contract. \- potentially losing a big contract sucks, but the company is still intact. It's not like one of their factories burnt down. \- With Trump spending $1.5 trillion on defense + Iran war spiraling + drones being the future of warfare, it's entirely possible that they'll get some big new contracts in the future. \- a politician who helps determine defense budgets recently bought around the $300 mark, hinting that there may be contracts in the pipeline: [https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public\_disc/ptr-pdfs/2025/20033455.pdf](https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public_disc/ptr-pdfs/2025/20033455.pdf) . Compared to that insider buying at $300, $200 is a bargain. \- professional investors are often forced to sell due to margin calls / company policy, meaning that the crash to $200 may have been due to forced selling rather than people genuinely believing that the stock is worth $200. \- yes one prominent analyst said "sell". However BTIG Research (another major firm) [doubled down](https://www.investing.com/news/analyst-ratings/btig-reiterates-buy-on-aerovironment-stock-amid-contract-concerns-93CH-4535781) on their "buy" advice post-news, citing a $415 target. If you buy now and that comes true, it's a doubling of your money. \- AVAV is currently digesting their acquisition of BlueHalo. This makes the balance sheet look messy and painful in the short term, but it can be great for the medium term. I just bought the dip ten minutes ago. Though to be transparent: I'm fine with volatility and see this as a medium-term play, not as a short term play. The stock could easily fall a bit more in the short term. I absolutely wouldn't buy right now with money that you need to pay rent this month. Buffett said: *"Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful."* If you follow that principle, right now is the time to be greedy with regards to AVAV.
It's a big deal but I think the stock crashing from $300 to $200 is excessive, because: \- the news is that they *potentially* lost a huge contract, not that they *definitely* lost a huge contract. \- potentially losing a big contract sucks, but the company is still intact.

AVAV got a 33% intraday dicking.
imagine holding AVAV for the last 4 hours to make $5 🤡
I put calls on AVAV this morning and sold at 302. I feel like the luckiest man on earth rn
Middle East burning AVAV down 20% VIX flat GLD flat Who knew?
WOW!! Some people must have gotten screwed with AVAV. What happend?
Anyone loading AVAV at this price? Or is the upside not there anymore after the contract loss
he'd be worth 10 mill if he put all that AVAV call money on puts lol
holy fuck if you flipped that AVAV calls into puts you'd be retired right now
I saw the chart and figured it was a solid pullback like ONDS has, about a -10% from the top; AVAV being an outlier but still. Defense all around fell during intraday trading. Overall (outside AVAV) all still green but all on a downward trend for the day which idk I thought was a bit surprising given the weekend news. I thought itd be a bit more choppy/hold a higher value all around than where the stocks have fallen to.
One AVAV 3/6 $250 put went from $78 to $5300 in the span of an hour. Of course I didn’t have any tho
AVAV is really having a day
I wonder how defense stocks will play out this week after those massive pull backs on AVAV, ONDS, and RCAT.
WTF why did AVAV get hit so hard? My ONDS and RCAT are printing so far
Why hello sir, let me introduce AVAV to you....up a smooth 20% this morning...now down 20%....riddle me that
Ah some analysis downgraded $AVAV's rating. That explains the dump
#Did Iran bomb AVAV's headquarters? Why is it crashing so hard. LMAO🤌
AVAV puts this morning coulda made me retire.
This might be worse than the 27% intraday SNDK dump the day after earnings. What even happened to AVAV today?
LMAO AVAV puts options +160,000 today geez
They semi-lost their biggest contract with Space Force. The government is opening bidding again so best-case scenario AVAV gets part of it back. Worst they lose it all.
I honestly thought AVAV was going to be a good investment, especially with their biggest customer going to war...diabolical if you ask me what happened today, just diabolical.
AVAV??? A little overdone? Buying opportunity??
AVAV seems like a buying opportunity right now?
Bought AVAV on Friday expecting the Iran strikes. Felt like a genius this morning. Now I feel like I'm eating paint chips in the corner. Oh well, time to bag hold
AVAV HOD 300 right now 200, anyone has anything beside doubledowngrade?
Fuck it breh, AVAV is a buy 33% down from its high today.
Oh, it’s because Space Force is reopening bids for the SCAR program. SCAR was AVAV’s biggest program so they’re probably going to lose a ton of revenue. Happy GUH day to me and my bags.
AVAV -short interest is/was almost 10%...shorts are getting out, this is absolutely satanic what is happening to this stock....Me thinking folks with lots of money wanted this to tank
Fuck it AVAV to $400
AVAV why are you dying you make war stuff dummy
AVAV tanks on BADGER/SCAR stop-work order - Space Force halts phased-array deliveries, nuking priced-in 2026 rev chunk (\~10-15% est). Raymond James "underperform" piles on valuation reset (60x fwd P/E pre-drop), defense peers like SHLD hold via diversified ETF flows. No quick rebound absent contract lift - cut now at BB low/moving avg death cross, trail stops under $260 pivot. SHLD steady wins; AVAV "newer bet" lesson: Size gov't risk pre-news.
Im aware, but theres cases like AVAV where it was up 18% now its down 18%, then it also appears most other defense are following smaller but similar patterns
Smart.. AVAV literally shit it’s pants shortly after your exit.. your last name must be Pelosi 😂🫣
Raymond James downgrades AVAV... drops it from up 17% today to down 15%. The manip is real.
Yah I agree. Had it last year and it just sat. Shouldnt compare this one to SHLD. Thankfully the rest of my portfolio is up but AVAV is losing bad and fast.
Holy fuck man, look at that V on drone companies. Wish my cash settled so I could have sold at the high and bought at the low but oh well. Hey, at least I'm not AVAV. KTOS, RDW, and RCAT seem to be doing well
AVAV straight line down. 🩸
Which one of you tards bought AVAV this morning lmaoo
you know what - fuck AVAV, from a moral perspective. i hope they go bankrupt.
I haven’t seen a move like AVAV’s since they killed my boy silver
Looks like they may lose out on a very big contract. That's all I can find, but its also the reason for the downgrade: Raymond James Double Downgrades $AVAV to Underperform from Strong Buy Analyst comments: "The Space Force announced that it is recompeting its SCAR (Satellite Communications Augmentation Resource) program. This was the company's largest program of record at approximately $1.4B of value.
Thanks AVAV...I like losing 1/4 of the value of my investment in 10 minutes, your the best!
Nope. Pentagon reopened space force program. Looks like AVAV lost biggest contract. I am so happy that I sold at 300 :)
Check price action on AVAV, imagine buying at 300 earlier this morning.
Bad news catalyst (SCAR contract being opened back up to multiple vemdors) followed by a Sell rating from Raymond James (previously Strong Buy, 348 target). The January fall was somewhat related (stop work order on this program), now the news is basically the program will be open to multiple vendors (whereas previously AVAV was sole source). Disclaimer: Sold my entire position last Thursday, definitely had some FOMO on the move up today but this does not seem like a drop I would want to buy personally.
Any news about AVAV except for the downgrade?
Bro I was about to sell with AVAV at 300
AVAV moving like a penny stock wasn't on my watchlist for today
what the fuck happened to my small cap defense stocks. AVAV LMFAO
You should look at AVAV...that fucker just got destroyed

With AVAV earnings coming up I find it tough to not buy

What the hell happened to AVAV?
Drone maker AVAV so manipulated, +20% to -11%
Funniest part about your comment is I was watching it the entire time it happened. Added AVAV to my watch list around 10am today.
Dude AVAV earnings next week… I’m going to war myself
You should look at AVAV...fucker just dropped damn near 30% from it's peak this morning....this one hurts
AVAV's move is fucking hilarious

Dude I can’t catch a break with these rug pulls. AVAV dropping below support 235
This is why I'm not in defense stocks AVAV drop 20% for what?
