On June 25, Red Cat Holdings fell 8.25% in regular trading, trading at $9.35/share, with turnover of $66.11 million. The stock has declined sharply from its June 20 close of $11.44, as selling pressure persists following a major geopolitical development.
On June 22, China's Ministry of Commerce placed Red Cat Holdings on its export control list alongside 9 other U.S. defense-linked entities, prohibiting the export of dual-use items to these companies. Notably, Teal Drones — a Red Cat subsidiary sharing the same address — was also separately listed. The measure bans any organization or individual globally from transferring China-origin dual-use items to the listed entities, with ongoing export activities ordered to cease immediately.
The action was explicitly framed as retaliation after the Pentagon expanded its Chinese military enterprise blacklist from 134 to 188 companies. Red Cat, which manufactures military tactical drones used by U.S. forces for reconnaissance and combat, faces potential supply chain disruption for components sourced from China. The broader Aerospace and Defense sector saw mixed performance, with Rocket Lab USA down 9.49% while Axon Enterprise gained 5.96%.
