Over the past year, Axon Enterprise (Axon) stocks are a tear. The leader of the technology for law enforcement recorded a double price price. However, the stock cascaded 22% lower this week alone. I see this as an excellent opportunity to buy because the company’s shares become placed on the other leg.
In the past year, I was aggressively added my position and with Axon set up to report the performance of the Q4 performance next TuesdayI perceive the recent UD as another opportunity to establish fresh long ones. Yes, the shares are still expensive despite this week’s discount. But given that Axon monopolized the technological ecosystem for law enforcement, while only now it begins to spread commercially, its premium begins to make sense.

If the Q3 effect is any indicator, the Q4 results will re -enhance Axon’s momentum. In his previous earning call, Axon celebrated the increase in revenue of 32% annually, marking the 11th consecutive quarter of at least 25% of growth. It is an extraordinary ride in any industry, but especially impressive for a job that is already the best player in his field.

The Taser Division, which includes the iconic hardware of the company, reported on a 36%revenue jump. Although it is already widely used, the Taser 10 upgrade cycle is still in its early days. Adoption happens with a nearly twice -higher rate of Taser 7, which talks about Axon’s ability to repeat hardware that trust agencies for law enforcement agencies. We can also observe a growing international appetite for non-dead solutions, an area in which Axon has a clear advantage with respect to its dominance in the US.
Meanwhile, the Cloud & Services Axon Department still shines. This segment also increased by 36% to reach $ 203 million in Q3, indicating that rapid agencies accept cloud -based services such as digital evidence and AI tools. The draft one, for example, Axon’s AI’s ASSISTOR FOR WRITING THE Report is fascinating. Given the administrative burden for the implementation of the law, everything that can simplify the paperwork is ready for a quick adoption.
In addition to the excellent Axon’s growth, its lower progress is also impressive. In Q3, adapted to the EBITDA marzums hit 26.7%, which is most in three years. This type of tandem margin expanding with high growth is rare, especially in technological industries where companies often sacrifice profitability to gain a market share.
Of course, much of the margin reinforcement comes from the Cloud & Services segment, which boasts adapted gross margin above 75%. Subscribe -based revenue revenue models create repeated revenues, which in turn makes Axon’s earnings more predictable. As this division is sceling, it is certainly to say that Axon’s total profitability profile should continue to improve.
As for the upcoming Axon report, the administration ran revenue from Q4 between $ 560 and $ 570 million, indicating the potential for more than 30%growth quarter. One key catalyst is a momentum behind Axon’s Ai Era plan, which connect one and the other feature with AI drive in a comprehensive offer. So far, early indicators, especially from the Conference of the International Association of Police Chiefs (IACP), suggest considerable demand.

Taser demand remains strong on the hardware side, and I expect a stronger number here. I am also intrigued by Axon’s investments in drones and robotics, including his acquisition of Dedrona. The concept of drones as the first respondents (DFR) gets attraction, and Axon seems well positioned to lead this category in the emergence.
Now, the elephant in the room is nothing but a value assessment. Axon traded on more than 21x sales, making it the seventh most expensive name in S&P 500 P/S-Wise. Meanwhile, his forward p/e hovers at a huge expected earning of 86x Fy2026. These multiple are undoubtedly high, even for hyper-war supplies. If Axon stumbles, it could be argued that the deficiency could be significant. This week’s drop in stock or is the first indicator of innate weakness or opportunity to raise stock at lower levels before re -rating next week.
However, these prices also reflect the market expectation that Axon will maintain its dominance in the highly critical industry. Budgets for public security technology are growing globally, and solutions aimed at AI could unlock new repeating revenues. International expansion could be accelerated, as several countries are opting for non-undergoing weapons and advanced police tools.
On Wall Street, Axson Stock carries a strong assessment of consensus purchase on the basis of eight purchases, two walks and zero sales ratings achieved in the last three months. Average price of Axonova of $ 670 per share It implies about 25% of the potential of increasing over the next twelve months.

With a strong market position, accelerating profitability and a package of products that depend on law enforcement agencies, AXONS offers a unique growth narrative. I was on the long -term prospects of the company and plan to continue to keep it as a fundamental position in my portfolio.
Although caution is needed with respect to the steep assessment of the stock, the purchase before the insertion is wise. Regardless of Volatility, it is worth keeping this section in the long run, so that every negative surprise will give an even better opportunity to improve the Akson position next week.
