Analyst projections of the future price of AeroVironment stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Demand visibility is strong: fiscal Q1 2027 bookings were approximately $0.7 billion with a 1.4 book-to-bill ratio, while funded backlog reached a record $1.5 billion, up 37% year over year. (AeroVironment)
AeroVironment is securing sizable counter-UAS opportunities, including selection of its LOCUST system for an Army Enduring-High Energy Laser program valued at nearly $500 million and a first international LOCUST order worth more than $50 million. (AeroVironment)
The acquisition-led platform expansion is translating into scale: fiscal 2026 revenue rose 141% to $1.98 billion, annual bookings reached $2.7 billion, and ESAero adds vertically integrated engineering, prototyping, electric propulsion, and manufacturing capabilities. (AeroVironment)
Despite 6% year-over-year revenue growth to $480.5 million in fiscal Q1 2027, AeroVironment still reported a $5.1 million GAAP net loss and a $10.9 million operating loss; full-year GAAP EPS guidance remains only $0.21–$0.53. (AeroVironment)
Profitability remains vulnerable to the post-acquisition mix and purchase accounting: fiscal Q1 gross margin was just 26%, contract-services margin declined, and the company recorded $43.4 million of intangible amortization and related non-cash expenses. (AeroVironment)
The balance sheet carries meaningful integration and impairment risk following the BlueHalo and ESAero acquisitions: as of August 1, 2026, AeroVironment reported $2.49 billion of goodwill, $886.5 million of intangible assets, and $730.1 million of long-term debt, while management continues to flag acquisition execution and government-contract timing risks.
