Drone stocks struggle in 2026 with Red Cat, Ondas, and AeroVironment all down, while Unusual Machines rises 72%.

In 2026, major drone stocks Red Cat, Ondas, and AeroVironment have all declined, with AeroVironment down 42%, Ondas down 26%, and Red Cat down 20%, despite rising defense demand for autonomous systems. Unusual Machines, a drone component maker, stands out with a 72% gain year-to-date, outperforming both the drone sector ETF and the S&P 500. Red Cat faces pressure to meet a large second-half revenue target driven by government contracts, while Ondas must convert a sizable order backlog into revenue. AeroVironment's recent strong results have not offset earlier contract cancellations. Investors should watch these companies' upcoming performance closely and consider the risks of exposure in this volatile sector.
