What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Ondas reported Q2 revenue of $83.8M, a 13-fold YoY increase, and raised 2026 revenue guidance to $525-550M, but net losses and margin compression from scaling costs remained a concern.

The backlog sits at $757M, signaling growth potential if profitability improves.
