Ondas Holdings Surges 12.43% on $340M Volume (Rank 304) Amid Defense Contract and $163M Capital Raise

Ondas Holdings (ONDS) surged 12.43% to $5.6862 on August 28, 2025, with a trading volume of $340 million—a 35.34% increase from the previous day and ranking 304th in market activity. The rally was driven by two key developments: a $2.7 million order for its Iron Drone Raider System from a defense client and a $163 million public offering in July 2025. The contract validates demand for its autonomous systems, while the capital raise strengthened liquidity, retiring convertible debt and boosting cash reserves to $68.6 million. The acquisition of Apeiro Motion in Q3 2025 further expanded its ground robotics capabilities.

Technical indicators highlight heightened volatility, with the stock trading near its 52-week high of $6.01. The RSI (69.87) approaches overbought territory, and the MACD (0.642) signals bullish momentum. Options activity spiked, with 35,578 call contracts traded—double the average. High-gamma options like ONDS20250919C6 ($6 strike) and ONDS20250919C5.5 ($5.5 strike) are being positioned for potential breakouts above $6.01, with liquidity and volatility favoring short-term speculative plays.

The stock’s beta of 3.96 and implied volatility of 114.63% underscore its high-risk profile. While the 555% Q2 revenue growth and strategic expansion justify near-term optimism, fundamental risks persist, including a -277.4% net margin and 31.91 P/S ratio. Traders are advised to monitor key levels: $6.01 (resistance) and $5.20 (support). Positioning remains skewed toward aggressive options strategies, reflecting market expectations of continued volatility ahead of earnings on November 12.
