Forget margin or options. Here's how the pros trade ONDS

An update from Ondas ( (ONDS) ) is now available.

On March 18, 2026, Ondas Inc. and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG’s subsidiary HD Advanced Technologies GmbH formalized a joint venture named ONBERG Autonomous Systems, following a December 2025 memorandum of understanding. The venture is designed to serve as a centralized European provider of autonomous drone defense and security systems across Germany and Ukraine, with a focus on protecting critical infrastructure, borders, and national security assets.

The partnership combines Ondas’ counter-UAS platforms, including the Iron Drone Raider and ISR technologies, with Heidelberg’s 175-year German engineering heritage, industrial manufacturing capacity, and European production infrastructure. ONBERG plans to expand Heidelberg’s Brandenburg an der Havel site into a center of excellence for autonomous defense systems, progressively shifting from distribution to localized assembly and full manufacturing, and building European supply chains to support sovereign, scalable production for EU markets.

Initial efforts will concentrate on marketing and deploying the Iron Drone Raider and ISR platforms in Germany and Ukraine, with phased expansion across the European Union. By tailoring a fully integrated, layered autonomous defense architecture to European operational requirements, the venture aims to strengthen local defense autonomy and position Ondas and Heidelberg as key players in Europe’s emerging autonomous drone defense ecosystem.

The most recent analyst rating on (ONDS) stock is a Buy with a $19.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ondas stock, see the ONDS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on ONDS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ONDS is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial quality (losses, negative ROE, and negative operating cash flow) despite strong revenue growth. Technicals are mixed with near-term weakness versus the 20-day average, and valuation support is limited due to a negative P/E and no dividend yield. Offsetting these, the latest earnings call indicates strong growth momentum with raised targets and expanding backlog, though higher expenses and integration/deployment challenges remain key risks.
