Latest Droneshield (ASX:DRO) News

Small caps did the heavy lifting this week, led by two big discovery stories in resources. Funding raises and takeover moves kept attention on who can pay for the next step, not just promise it.

A handful of small caps ripped higher, but plenty still slipped even after good news. This week’s biggest moves came from a platform partnership win, a reinstated stock, and a cash settlement that removed a long-running dispute.

DroneShield Limited has reported a stellar 277% revenue surge in FY2025, underpinned by a booming SaaS segment and a robust $2.09 billion sales pipeline. The company is scaling manufacturing and capitalising on new US legislation to expand its counter-drone technology footprint.

A wild week for small-cap tech, led by a price-query rocket in DTI and a heavy sell-off in Qoria despite strong recurring revenue growth. Cash receipts, contract wins and capital raises did most of the talking, while a few gap moves showed how fast early gains can vanish.
