DroneShield Benefits From Defense Budgets But Tech Under Scrutiny -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-20 05:57

2156 GMT - Modern warfare's shift toward drones leads Jefferies to start coverage of DroneShield. The company makes Counter Uncrewed Aerial Systems, or C-UAS, which are popular with militaries seeking to bolster their defenses. Analyst William Richardson points out that NATO has committed to 1.5% of GDP by 2035 to protect infrastructure, networks and other items which would include C-UAS. He sees little risk of prime defense contractors, such as Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, competing in counter-drone technology. Still, Jefferies says it's unsure about the long-term effectiveness of DroneShield's radio frequency tech in the context of rapidly evolving UAS technology. Jefferies starts coverage of DroneShield with a hold call and A$3.70/share price target. DroneShield ended Thursday at A$4.21. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
