AeroVironment’s (NASDAQ: AVAV) share price has faced its share of headwinds, enough to drive the stock to long-term lows despite general strength among drone makers. The critical detail, however, is that headwinds are abating and fiscal year 2027 (FY2027) guidance suggests a solid year ahead.
While guidance came in slightly below the consensus estimate, analysts expected far worse, as whisper figures were in the low end of the range. Looking ahead, given the company’s now-diversified defense business, the odds are high that it will continue to gain traction, drive value for shareholders, and lead to a full recovery in its stock price.
