While we continue to review Wednesday morning’s earnings call conferences held by Morgan Stanley (MS) and Bank of America (BAC) , we see our shares of Axon Enterprise (AXON) are under pressure, as are competitor Motorola Solutions (MSI) and other defense-related stocks like L3 Harris (LHX) and Northrop Grumman (NOC) .
This move lower comes in the face of Bloomberg reporting the European Union will propose launching joint drone and air defense projects in the coming months as part of an ambitious five-year plan to rearm the continent and constrain Russia.
After checking news sources, SEC filings and related materials for both AXON and MSI, so far, we do not see any developments that would justify such a pronounced sell-off in AXON shares. We will continue our search and share what we find.
Keep in mind, we have seen some wild swings in AXON shares over the last few quarters, which in part reflects their beta of 1.41. We’ve opted to focus on the ongoing positive mix shift in the company toward its higher margin, recurring revenue software and services business. Should we determine that this move lower is unwarranted and overdone, our inclination would be to take advantage of the opportunity presented.
Before we do so, like a good carpenter, we will want to exhaust our resources to rule out any developments that would push back or alter our thesis.
