6 month growth

↑ 20%2 year growth
↑ 20%Axon Enterprise shares rebounded 9.3% on Friday following a 14.3% drop the previous day, with investors reassessing the company's second-quarter 2026 results. The initial sell-off came despite strong performance — revenue rose 35% year-over-year to $904 million, marking the tenth consecutive quarter of growth above 30%. The market's concern centred on compressed gross margins in the software and services segment, driven by rising memory costs and a higher mix of counter-drone hardware sales. Axon's Dedrone division surpassed $100 million in quarterly revenue, contributing to a 123% jump in Platform Solutions revenue. Management raised full-year revenue growth guidance to 32%–34% whilst maintaining its adjusted EBITDA margin outlook at 25.5%. The company expects near-term margin pressure from component costs and hardware scaling, with software revenue anticipated to follow hardware deployments. The third-quarter results will prove whether this margin squeeze represents temporary growing pains or a more persistent challenge.
Axon Enterprise and Chewy represent contrasting investment opportunities: rapid innovation versus predictable recurring revenue. Axon provides Taser devices, body cameras, and cloud-based software for law enforcement, expanding into fire, EMS, and commercial security markets. In FY 2025, Axon's revenue reached nearly $2.8 billion, up roughly a third year-over-year. Net income was nearly $125 million, down from $377 million in 2024, yielding a 5% net margin. The debt-to-equity ratio stands at roughly 0.6x. Chewy dominates digital pet supply through its Autoship subscription programme. FY 2025 revenue hit $12.6 billion, up 6% year-over-year. Net income reached $222.8 million, producing a 2% net margin. Chewy recently acquired Modern Animal and opened Chewy Vet Care clinics to deepen customer relationships.
Wall Street closed lower on Thursday as investors awaited a permanent settlement of Middle East geopolitical conflicts and digested soft earnings from major companies. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.9%, or 464 points, to close at 53,885.10, ending a five-day winning streak. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.1% to finish at 26,363.44, whilst the S&P 500 declined 0.2% to 7,709.96. Geopolitical tensions heightened after an Iranian parliamentary committee reviewed a bill to bar US and Israeli ships from passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This development pushed crude oil prices higher, with West Texas Intermediate futures settling up 2.8% at $77.29 per barrel. Disappointing earnings weighed on sentiment. Axon Enterprise reported quarterly adjusted earnings of $1.88 per share, missing estimates, whilst Honeywell Aerospace's adjusted earnings of $1.87 per share fell short of the $2.07 consensus estimate.
Axon Enterprise reported second-quarter revenue of $904 million, up 35% year-over-year, marking its tenth consecutive quarter of revenue growth above 30%. The company raised its full-year revenue growth outlook to 32%–34%, from a previous 30%–32%, while maintaining its adjusted EBITDA margin target of approximately 25.5%. Software and services revenue increased 36% to $398 million, with annual recurring revenue growing 39% to $1.6 billion. Net revenue retention reached 126%. Newer offerings including AI Era Plan, Records, Fusus and Axon 911 collectively grew roughly 70%, whilst the AI Era Plan alone grew nearly 700%. Axon's Dedrone business surpassed $100 million in quarterly revenue, contributing to a 123% increase in platform solutions revenue. The company noted potential opportunities in a $1.5 billion DHS counter-drone programme, though it hasn't estimated its likely share.
