Axon Enterprise (AXON) surged to a record high today, with an intraday gain of 1.20%.

The strategy of buying AXON shares after they reached a recent high and holding for one week resulted in significant returns over the past five years. The strategy achieved an overall return of 345.00%, with a benchmark return of 49.45% and an excess return of 295.55%. The CAGR was 87.40%, indicating a strong compounding effect. However, the strategy had a maximum drawdown of -25.60% and a Sharpe ratio of 2.25, suggesting that while the returns were impressive, there was also a moderate level of risk.

Axon Enterprise's stock price has been influenced by several key factors recently. Wall Street analysts maintain a bullish outlook on the company, with a mean price target of $720 and a street-high target of $830, indicating a potential upside of 11.2%. This optimism is driven by Axon's significant outperformance relative to the broader market over the past year.


The company's participation in TD Cowen's 53rd Annual Technology, Media & Telecom Conference on May 28, 2025, is also expected to impact investor interest and stock performance. Such high-profile events often attract attention from institutional investors and analysts, potentially driving up the stock price.


Despite the overall positive sentiment, Axon Enterprise's stock has recently reached a new 1-year low on the London exchange, trading as low as $130.63. This fluctuation might indicate concerns among investors, possibly due to short-term market volatility or specific company-related news.


Additionally, financial groups such as Elequin Capital LP and Stonebridge Financial Group LLC have recently acquired stakes in Axon Enterprise. These investments reflect confidence in the company's future prospects and could signal a positive outlook for the stock.
