Drone industry supplier Red Cat, Inc. (RCAT) is looking to grow in the defense sector.
Red Cat provides products and services to the drone industry, including data storage, analytics, and related services. The company has an enterprise segment aimed at providing solutions to governments and militaries. It offers an ecosystem of drones, sensors, and services to support operations, especially with reconnaissance. Recently, the company partnered with Palantir to carry its software on RCAT’s unmanned aircraft in military applications.
As for earnings, RCAT’s second-quarter fiscal 2025 report showed a 24% dip in revenue, largely attributable to a production shift and focus on new products. However, the company ended the quarter with $5.7 million on hand and an additional round of financing secured. Also, the company has secured $14.7 million in commitments for its new line of drones.
It’s no wonder RCAT shares are up almost 1,600% in a year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
