Benny and JT from Hidden Gems Stock Research are back for the first Wednesday edition of Zero Hour Today, breaking down a busy morning across drones, defense technology, and the broader market.
The headline story is Ondas Inc.’s acquisition of three defense technology businesses for approximately $56 million, with additional performance-based earnouts potentially reaching $32 million through 2028. Benny and JT dig into what each acquisition brings to the growing Ondas defense stack and why the capabilities could matter in contested environments.
They take a closer look at technologies including passive acoustic drone detection, AI-enabled autonomy, one-to-many unmanned system control, resilient communications, and GPS/GNSS-denied navigation. The discussion centers on how these capabilities could complement Ondas’ existing counter-UAS, autonomous systems, and command-and-control technologies as the company continues building out a more complete defense ecosystem.
The guys also discuss PowerUs ($PUSA) and its developing commercial and defense drone business, including its heavy-lift drone technology and roughly $60 million five-year sales target tied to agricultural applications in New Zealand. They examine potential applications ranging from agriculture and firefighting to logistics and defense before taking a look at the early PUSA chart and some of the technical levels JT is watching.
Plus, Benny and JT cover the morning market action, with SPY, the Nasdaq, and small caps pulling back after the recent rally, while several defense and drone names continue showing relative strength.
They wrap up with a preview of upcoming Zero Hour Group coverage, AUSA, two new companies currently under research, and the expansion of Zero Hour Today to Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
