Matthew Galinko has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Unusual Machines Inc.’s strategic positioning and financial health. The company reported a significant year-over-year revenue increase of 230% for the first quarter of 2025, surpassing both the analyst’s and consensus estimates. Despite a contraction in gross margin due to tariff-related expenses, the company’s focus on domestic production is seen as a positive move amid ongoing trade discussions and tariff threats.
UMAC’s investment in a new drone motor manufacturing facility in Orlando, Florida, is a key factor in the Buy rating. This facility is expected to enhance supply chain security and capitalize on the growing demand for domestically produced components, particularly in the military drone sector. Additionally, the company’s strengthened balance sheet, bolstered by a recent $36 million equity offering, provides sufficient capital to support its growth strategy. These elements, combined with a reasonable valuation at 5.4 times the estimated 2026 revenue, underpin the Buy rating, even as the price target is adjusted to $16 due to dilution from the equity offering.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 33 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of UMAC in relation to earlier this year.
