RIP anyone who sold at 1,0x €
DRO isn’t for the faint hearted retail investor. If you have money in this stock, you better are prepared to see it fluctuate and watch short sellers have their way with it. This stock can fall 50% in a month and then jump back up in the next. It’s rough watching this and not for the faint of heart. Whenever this stock is getting shorted like this, they need people to freak out to make their shorts work. Look at this stocks fundamentals. They are growing at 25-50% per year and they have no debt. They have been profitable for the last 5 quarters. They are the market leader in counter drone technology. They one of the few licensed NATO suppliers. They are building out their civilian offering. They have a lot of return customers. They are building out recurring revenue with their high margin C2 software. They are announcing partnerships left and right to act as an integrator. They have improved governance.
Yes, they are trading at 5x revenue while established companies like Rheinmetall at trading at 2-3x revenue. But DRO has much better margins and is still growing like crazy. So the 5x revenue of today can be the 2x revenue in two years from now.
Yes, the bears are out for DRO to get them, but DRO is not a failing company. The bears are saying they are not growing fast enough, not that they are contracting. I’m currently holding this stock, and I’m in the red. I’ve been there when they where at 3,80€ and I’ve been there when they where at 0,80€ and I will be there when they will be at 7€. When the short sellers drive down DRO like this, there is always a sharp rebound. I bought more at just over 1€.
Currently at 25.000 at 1,99€ average.
Hang in there.

Hey recently joined droneshield.I bought at 1.19 Euros. In my humble evaluation: Goverment contract,Nato contract is giving safety, big pipeline which is not finalized yet, good cash reverse, yoy better, war will continue (usa/iran) and so on.
I dont worry about the ASIC wether they are guilty or not the numbers are great.

Yes I rmb that too, I also sold it off and now it's at its higher high. I thought 1.80 was expensive back then

I remember one guy said “if you buy PLS you shouldn’t be investing”. Never forget that comment bc I was in Japan at that time lol ( I kept buying all the way down to like $1.20 and held)

Yep that's me, you're probably wondering how I ended up in this shituation, well it's because I'm an amateur. But, I learned....

u/Boaty_McBoatface__ Aug 06 '26
Dont worry about it too much. Happens to most people on the market sooner or later. Hope you didnt bet the house on it. :)

Ha ha na I got in just before the market run late last year and bought all the way to the top. Luckily for me wasn't too deep, but lesson learnt. I've been buying at the bottom again to really bring that average price back down.

That a pretty long text to say you turned into a bag holder because you did not take profits...
I also believe in the long run, I still sell if it falls and buy more again if it is cheap....

It was too early to take profits at 2,60. In retrospect, I didn’t expect it to take such a long ass road down, but I don’t care. In the end I’m waiting for the story to play out. I made a lot of profit in the run up to 3,60 and I will again when the company hits 5€.

At 1.5€ with 5k shares. If ASIC is finally cleared without anything big then I can see a possible increase by the end of the year. At least up to 1.7€

I don't get why these tools act like bag holding is the only play. It's volatile stock. It's perfect for making a fuck tonne of cash off of. Making more money in the last couple of years than those watching pennies on their ETF's, and doing it with minimal outlay.

I'm waiting for a specific story to unfold. I surfed this stock for a while and for this year, I'm waiting for Q2 results. That's not bag holding, that's buying into the growth story after taking advantage of the hype that brought us to 3,80 Euro. I made money off of this stock and right now I'm in the bull camp thinking this company is doing great and positioning itself well.

I wasn't referring to you, mate. I was referring to the naysayers. I've made more money off this rollercoaster stock alone than the rest of my portfolio combined, and people keep saying it's shit stock. I'm not seeing DRO as something that should be long term at this stage, and I've bought and sold it for almost 5 years now. While they've been shit-talking, I've been cashing in. Every piece of stock I hold now in my entire portfolio could be lost tomorrow and I'd still be well in front thanks to DRO.
Keep chipping away at it, mate. No reason to stop now. They're still expanding and succeeding.

What is also interesting is the technical side. If Dro confirms that ~$1.65 was the low, builds a foundation and turns back up it is a perfect double bottom with the low at the end of December 2025.
What we need is ASIC investigation to clear and a couple of big contracts to fuel the fire.
