AeroVironment financial and operational performance

Overview

AeroVironment has experienced a period of significant financial divergence, characterized by record-breaking operational revenue alongside declining stock performance.

In August 2026, the company reported a 133.3 percent year-over-year increase in quarterly revenue to $641.62 million. However, its share price had dropped approximately 40 percent over the preceding year following the loss of a $1.4 billion US Space Force contract and an $89 million accounting error. These setbacks led multiple law firms to announce intentions to file class-action lawsuits.

By September 2026, the company reported strong fiscal Q1 2027 results, with revenue reaching approximately $480.5 million and earnings per share of $0.59, exceeding analyst estimates. The company’s funded backlog grew 37 percent year-over-year to a record $1.5 billion, bolstered by a $50 million international order for its LOCUST counter-drone system. Despite these earnings, the stock entered a bearish trend following a heavy-volume selloff on September 9.
