AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVAV)

value stock

ripe for acquisition as defense spend trends away from on-the-ground personnel to UAV's and other recon equipment

AVAV may be in the best position for unmanned aerial devices right now. Their devices are increasingly smaller, cheaper, and easy to use. Widely used in military (check out their "Switchblade" backpack-style AUV missile). This company also has great potential in security measures within our own border.

Looks pretty cheap for such a small and very innovative company.

Inventors. Electric vehicles. Drones and unmanned aircraft systems. The "Green Highway." Nissan. BMW. Houston and other cities. AeroVironment has a lot of good things lined up for future growth.

This company is one of the most innovative companies out there!

A new trend is born.

The future of robotic warfare, technology is advancing all the time. This company will be at the leading edge. Watch for next generation of drones to be smarter and more lethal. How much of a value does one place on this stock?

Nice growth opportunity here with solid balance sheet and decent valuation for added safety. Pilotless planes are becoming increasingly critical in modern espionage and warfare. Exciting pick.

Huge cash position with zero debt, unmanned vehicles likely the future of warfare, nice alternative energy kicker with electric vehicle chargers.

Lots of ways to win here. Recovery from near term overreaction to the GlobalObserver crash should help n the near term. Takeout possibilities always provide upside, as small UAV is a growth area in an increasingly negative growth sector and the large defense primes have stated their interest. And the emerging electric vehicle charging business has a long attractive growth runway of its own. Tremendously strong balance sheet, talented management team, high ROIC business, just lots to like here.

in the sweet spot of defence spending

Long term play.

AVAV is in the midst of 2 emerging trends: unmanned aircraft and charging for EVs. These product lines have been well received by both public (military security forces) and private sectors (industrial application EVs, and Nissan).

This company has a niche market and they continue to excell with their up-to-date products!!!!

Unarmed aircraft will get funding forever to save lives in the 3 wars we will fight.

I like what others are saying about this company and that they are financially well grounded. A bit concerned about the recent CFO change...

Drones will soon become a major player in aviation. The big boys will compete but this company is first in line

they are on sale now. i am heavily in.
