AeroVironment (AVAV) Stock Forecast & Price Target
AeroVironment (AVAV) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
AeroVironment Inc. is poised for continued strong growth driven by a robust backlog and increasing global defense budgets, positioning the company favorably within the defense technology sector. The firm is experiencing significant upward revisions in sales estimates, notably a projected 26.6% growth in SCDE sales for FY2027, reflecting confidence in future performance. Additionally, the strong margin profile of the Small UAS product line and the successful deployment of the Switchblade loitering munitions platform in operational scenarios enhance the company's competitive advantage and market appeal.
Bears say
AeroVironment is facing a negative outlook primarily due to its investment in research and development (IRAD) levels, which are expected to remain significantly below historical averages. This reduction in IRAD may hinder the company's ability to innovate and compete effectively within the defense technology sector. Furthermore, despite a conservative implied enterprise value to sales (EV/Sales) valuation relative to historical metrics, it remains below both the historical average of 1.8x and the peak of 4.6x, indicating potential challenges in revenue growth and market confidence.
This aggregate rating is based on analysts' research of AeroVironment and is not a guaranteed prediction by Public.com or investment advice.
