Ondas (ONDS) Lands SSE Deal, But Is The Stock Still A Bargain?

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Cyberhawk’s new three year agreement with SSE for drone inspection across UK electricity networks, including offshore wind assets and renewed iHawk services, has put Ondas (ONDS) back under the microscope for valuation focused investors.

The SSE contract lands at a time when Ondas’ 1-day share price return of 0.52% and 7-day share price return of 4.06% hint at improving near term sentiment, even though the year to date share price return is down 30.31% and the 1-year total shareholder return is slightly negative. At the same time, the very large 3-year total shareholder return suggests longer term holders have still seen substantial gains.

Ondas now carries a fresh SSE contract, a strong three year shareholder return and a recent bounce from weaker year to date levels. Does that mix still leave enough upside to justify the risk at today’s price?

Most Popular Narrative: 62% Undervalued

Ondas closed at $7.68 while the most widely followed narrative pegs fair value at $20.13. The contract news therefore fits into a story already framed as deeply discounted, with a lot riding on execution.

Ondas anticipates record revenue growth in 2025, primarily driven by Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS), due to significant backlog and expanding programs with Optimus and Iron Drone systems in defense and homeland security sectors. This will directly impact revenue.

See why 139 investors see Ondas as 62% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of $20.13 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, execution setbacks at Ondas Networks and any repeat of geopolitical disruption in Israel could quickly challenge the upbeat fair value story that investors are leaning on.

The puzzle is that earnings forecasts are set to decline 2.5% a year. How comfortable are you relying on cash flow assumptions when profit projections move the other way?
