Investing.com - Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage on AIRO Group (NASDAQ:AIRO) with an Overweight rating and a $35.00 price target on Tuesday. The stock, currently trading at $21.21, shows significant upside potential according to InvestingPro Fair Value calculations.
The research firm highlighted AIRO's potential as a defense technology growth opportunity, noting a market shift from focusing on U.S. Government funding and Ukrainian security shortfalls toward companies with the fastest defense tech growth algorithms. With a market capitalization of $557 million and impressive gross profit margins of 67%, AIRO demonstrates strong operational efficiency despite current market challenges.
Cantor Fitzgerald described AIRO's equity story as "medium-term drone profits being invested in longer-term EVTOL prospects," suggesting a strategic reinvestment approach by the company.
The firm expressed optimism about AIRO's multi-year growth trajectory, specifically citing continued RQ-35 orders from NATO partners as a positive factor for the company's future performance.
Additional growth drivers identified in the research note include potential Department of Defense Blue UAS certification and accelerating demand from non-NATO customers, which Cantor believes will support AIRO's business expansion. InvestingPro analysis reveals several key factors about AIRO's financial position, including moderate debt levels and high revenue growth potential.
