Ondas (ONDS) climbed 10.54% on Wednesday to close at $10.80, as investors positioned ahead of the company’s annual shareholder meeting scheduled for Thursday, May 28.

Ondas Holdings Inc., ONDS

The meeting has drawn attention for several reasons, but the biggest talking point is Ondas’ planned acquisition of Omnisys Ltd., an Israeli company that builds AI-powered Battle Resource Optimization software for multi-domain defense planning.

Ondas says the deal marks a key step in its shift toward becoming a software-defined defense technology company. Omnisys’ platform is expected to act as a core orchestration layer across its autonomous systems portfolio, covering mission planning, operational coordination, and real-time battlefield resource optimization.

The company says it has already completed the acquisition and filed a prospectus to allow resale of the shares issued in the deal. That move increases liquidity but does not raise new capital for Ondas directly.

Q1 Earnings Fueled the Rally

Ondas also reported strong Q1 numbers recently. The company swung from a $14 million net loss to a $361 million net income year-over-year. Revenue jumped 1,093% to $50.12 million, up from $4.2 million in the same period last year.

Those numbers gave bulls plenty to work with, and the momentum carried through to Wednesday’s session.

Options traders piled in as well. Call volumes surged, implied volatility rose, and the put-to-call ratio dropped sharply. The most active contracts were the May 29 weekly 10 and 10.5 calls, pointing to bets on continued short-term upside.

The stock is up 15.4% over the past week, though it’s still down 1.4% over the past month. Year-to-date, ONDS is up just 0.10%. Over the past year, however, the stock has gained over 1,046%.

The 52-week range runs from $0.89 to $15.28, reflecting just how volatile this name has been.

Valuation Warning Flags

Not everyone is bullish. GuruFocus’ GF Value puts ONDS‘ fair value at $3.34, suggesting the stock is 222.8% overvalued at its current price of around $10.78.

The GF Score sits at 67/100 — above average overall, but the breakdown tells a mixed story. Growth scores a 9/10, financial strength a 7/10. Valuation, however, scores just 1/10, and profitability comes in at 3/10.

The current P/E ratio stands at 58.4x, roughly 10% above its five-year median of 52.9x.

Insider activity over the past three months shows approximately $0.2 million in stock sold by insiders, with no buying reported during that period.

Ondas’ current market cap stands at approximately $4.49 billion. The company filed the Omnisys resale prospectus ahead of the shareholder meeting, where investors will look for further updates on the integration and the company’s broader defense technology roadmap.
