Draganfly Is Becoming a Key Defense Drone Partner—Faster Than Expected
Submitted by Nathan Reiff. Article Published: 2/10/2026.
Key Points
- Draganfly is a tiny drone company with a value of around $41 million, but it is achieving outsized business success thanks to key partnerships with the U.S. Air Force and other military clients.
- Outside of the United States, Draganfly's products are experiencing a growing profile in Asia and Europe.
- The company is dramatically boosting production capacity, aiming for $100 million in 2026 to meet rising demand.
- Special Report: [Sponsorship-Ad-6-Format3]
2026 could be a breakout year for drone companies as industries execute long-anticipated plans to shift toward unmanned operations in construction, logistics, agriculture and more.
Shares of drone companies are off to a promising start this year: the REX Drone ETF (NASDAQ: DRNZ) is up about 7% year-to-date (YTD).

What if you could claim a stake in what's set to be the biggest IPO ever… starting with just $500?
Everyone is talking about Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO.
Within this growing industry, small, $41 million firm Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO) could be worth watching.
Despite its size, Draganfly's drones have proven attractive for military applications at home and abroad. The company is pursuing strategic partnerships to extend its reach beyond what it can accomplish on its own.
Draganfly's revenue grew more than 14% year-over-year in the last reported quarter, and its solid cash position and expansion plans position it to capitalize on emerging opportunities.
Partnership With Air Force Is Light on Details, But Promising Nonetheless
A key catalyst for DPRO shares was Draganfly's early-February announcement that it will provide drones and training to U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command units in partnership with DelMar Aerospace. The company did not disclose contract value or terms, but investors may view the deal as evidence that Draganfly's systems were chosen over competitors for specific Air Force needs.
The training is intended to prepare operators to deploy uncrewed systems in a variety of environments, suggesting the government may continue to partner with Draganfly beyond training scenarios.
International Defense Applications Continue to Build
Outside the U.S. military, Draganfly is gaining traction with other governments. The company has seen notable success in the Asia-Pacific region, beginning with a November contract — via an established defense procurement channel — for its Commander 3XL drone systems in an international military application. Draganfly followed that with a December 2025 announcement that it would partner with Babcock International Group and Critical Infrastructure Technologies to expand further in the region.
Draganfly is also gaining traction in Europe through a partnership with Search and Rescue Sweden to provide tools and services for missing-person recoveries, wilderness rescues and police missions. That mid-January announcement followed joint flight testing and validation with partners.
Like the U.S. Air Force announcement, these reports provide few details on the financial impact for Draganfly. Investors will likely have to wait until the company's next earnings report in March for a fuller picture. Those optimistic about Draganfly's international trajectory may consider buying ahead of that report, though the lack of specific terms introduces added risk.
Production Ramp-Up in Motion
Draganfly says it is preparing to meet anticipated military demand by ramping production to reach $100 million in 2026, with plans to expand further. The company also says it is building protections against tariffs, manufacturing and delivery issues, and supply-chain disruptions to help maintain production amid changing external conditions.
Achieving roughly a 20-fold increase in production would be vital to scaling operations, and additional military contracts could make that possible. That potential may be one reason analysts are increasingly paying attention to the small drone maker.
Following a bullish rating from Northland Securities in January, all four Wall Street analysts who covered DPRO in the past year have positive views. The consensus price target of $16.75 implies more than 120% upside.
If Draganfly can capitalize on growing military interest and sustain sales growth — while managing risks such as dilution and ongoing profitability challenges — early investors could be well rewarded in the months ahead.
PayPal Is Back Near IPO-Era Prices—Value Setup or Value Trap?
Submitted by Sam Quirke. Article Published: 2/20/2026.
Key Points
- PayPal’s drawdown has pushed valuation and technical indicators to extremes, setting up a potential contrarian opportunity.
- The bull case rests on durable profitability and a low multiple, while the bear case centers on slowing growth and competitive erosion.
- Leadership transition and any credible strategic reset are positioned as the near-term catalysts that could shift sentiment.
- Special Report: [Sponsorship-Ad-6-Format3]
Having fallen steadily since summer 2021, former tech darling PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: PYPL) is once again testing fresh lows. The stock now trades just above $40 — roughly where it debuted publicly more than a decade ago. There's no getting around it: the past couple of years have been a terrible time to be an investor.
For those on the sidelines, though, one number is hard to ignore. With all the selling, PayPal's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has collapsed to 7.67, one of its lowest readings ever. For a $38 billion technology company that still generates billions in annual profit and free cash flow, that multiple looks extraordinarily low. It's not just cheap relative to its pandemic peak — it's cheap relative to its own history and to most of its mega-cap tech peers. Investors should ask whether this is a generational value opportunity or a classic value trap.
Why the Valuation Screams Opportunity

What if you could claim a stake in what's set to be the biggest IPO ever… starting with just $500?
Everyone is talking about Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO.
A single-digit P/E for a profitable tech company is rare. PayPal is neither a pre-revenue startup nor a structurally impaired business burning cash. In its most recent quarter, revenue rose 3.6% year over year to a record high. The kicker: growth has slowed materially from its peak years — and that's the core concern. Still, the company remains profitable, continues to grow modestly, and is deeply embedded in the global payments ecosystem.
Historically, stocks that fall to single-digit earnings multiples tend to fall into one of two camps: either earnings are about to collapse, or the market has become excessively pessimistic about medium-term prospects.
A Rare Combination: PayPal Hits Extreme Oversold + Deep Value
PayPal's competitive moat has been under pressure for years, and its status as the OG of digital payments counts for less than it once did. Yet at 7.67 times earnings, the market is pricing the company as if growth will remain muted indefinitely. That may be an overly pessimistic assumption, particularly when the technical setup supports the contrarian case.
PayPal's relative strength index (RSI) recently dipped as low as 12 and now sits around 28 — firmly in extremely oversold territory. That is the lowest reading in the stock's history. Combine that with a record-low P/E of just 7.67, and you have a rare alignment of technical and fundamental compression. While this doesn't guarantee an immediate bounce, it does indicate that both sentiment and valuation have been pushed to extremes.
Why the Market Is Skeptical
The collapse in the stock didn't happen in a vacuum. Growth has slowed to near its weakest levels since PayPal became a public company. Although its most recent earnings report showed record revenue, the pace of expansion continues to decelerate.
Competitive pressure, especially in branded checkout solutions, has intensified. Apple Pay, Stripe and other fintech rivals have eroded portions of PayPal's moat. At the same time, investor enthusiasm for AI-driven upside has faded because the company has yet to convincingly demonstrate how it will meaningfully monetize that opportunity.
Leadership uncertainty adds another layer of risk. The current CEO is being replaced, with a new leader expected to step in next month. That could eventually be a positive catalyst, but it also introduces near-term execution risk. Many analysts remain cautious even at these levels, arguing a low multiple can be justified if growth stays muted and competitive pressures persist.
A Tempting Risk/Reward Profile for PayPal
The risk/reward profile is hard to dismiss. Even within a cautious analyst community with a consensus rating of Hold, contrarian voices exist. Susquehanna and Argus have both reiterated Buy ratings this month, with price targets as high as $65 — roughly 35% upside from current levels.
Bullish expectations do not require a heroic recovery to former highs; they simply require modest stabilization and a vote of confidence from value investors. When a stock and its valuation are beaten down this low, the bar for a successful bounce is relatively low.
The incoming CEO could also be the catalyst investors have been waiting for. A clear strategic reset, renewed focus on revenue growth, and tangible progress in defending market share could shift sentiment quickly.
PayPal is no longer priced as the growth darling it once was. Still, when a profitable $38 billion technology company trades at a single-digit P/E, near IPO-era prices, and at one of the most oversold technical readings in years, it demands attention.
