An announcement from AeroVironment ( (AVAV) ) is now available.
On January 16, 2026, the U.S. Government, in mutual agreement with AeroVironment, issued a stop work order on the company’s Other Transaction Agreement for delivery of BADGER phased array antenna systems under the Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource (SCAR) program, pausing current work while the parties negotiate an amended agreement aligned with new program requirements. The revised arrangement is expected to shift to a firm-fixed-price structure, signaling a move toward tighter cost controls and clearer risk allocation, and AeroVironment indicated it expects to continue supplying capabilities and products for SCAR, suggesting the program remains strategically important despite the interim disruption to contract execution.

Spark’s Take on AVAV Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AVAV is a Neutral.
The score is supported primarily by strong earnings-call momentum (raised guidance, record bookings/awards, and strong backlog visibility) and bullish technicals (price above key moving averages with positive MACD). These positives are materially offset by weak underlying financial performance (losses, negative operating cash flow, and revenue contraction) and unfavorable valuation signals from a negative P/E.
