Ondas to Acquire World View and Lifts 2026 Revenue Outlook to $375 Million

Overview

• Ondas said it reached a definitive deal to buy World View, a high‑altitude balloon operator with more than 140 stratospheric flights, building on a prior $10 million investment and partnership.
• Press reports describe the transaction value at up to $150 million, mostly in stock, with closing targeted for the second quarter pending shareholder and regulatory approvals.
• Alongside the deal, management raised 2026 revenue guidance to at least $375 million and pointed to a sharp second‑half ramp after first‑quarter sales guidance of $38 million to $40 million.
• Fourth‑quarter revenue rose to $30.1 million and full‑year 2025 reached $50.7 million with improved margins, though the company posted a larger net loss driven by an $82.2 million non‑cash warrant revaluation.
• The World View buy extends Ondas’ system‑of‑systems plan that also includes recent acquisitions such as Mistral and a Palantir software tie‑up, and it adds long‑endurance stratospheric sensing that can watch wide areas far longer than typical drones.
