Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Axon Enterprise 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives reiterated confidence in Palantir Technologies Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) growth prospects after the software firm disclosed a deal with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization amid its growing &#8220;federal and commercial&#8221; portfolio.
What Happened: Ives said in a X post that Palantir remains one of Wedbush's "top names,&#8221; and the firm&#8217;s deal with NATO presents an opportunity for the software maker to &#8220;capitalize on.&#8221;
He highlighted that the deal was "another validation sign" for the PLTR as it continues "to generate unprecedented traction for its entire portfolio across both federal and commercial."

Ives reshared Shay Boloor's post, a podcast host at Stockwits, who pointed out that the defense sector was "evolving" after the NATO and PLTR deal, which also uplifted all the defense stocks. However, the stocks were lower in premarket on Tuesday.

Why It Matters: On Monday, NATO and Palantir announced the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44792590/palantir-stock-jumps-9-after-nato-adopts-ai-system-for-military-ops">completion of NATO&#8217;s acquisition</a> of the Palantir Maven Smart System NATO (MSS NATO) for deployment within Allied Command Operations (ACO). The deal was made on March 25. However, the financial terms were not disclosed.
MSS NATO equips military commanders and warfighters with a secure artificial intelligence-powered platform for core operations. It enhances intelligence fusion, targeting, battlespace awareness, and planning, enabling faster decision-making through diverse AI applications.
The Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) intends to leverage MSS NATO to accelerate the adoption of other advanced technologies developed across NATO, signifying a strong North American and European tech partnership.
The U.S. military already utilizes Palantir&#8217;s Maven technology, a system that was further supported by a $99.8 million five-year contract awarded last September.
Price Action: PLTR rose 1.18% in premarket to $93.71 apiece, whereas Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), the exchange-traded fund tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, was up 0.16% to $458.22.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings indicate that PLTR has a weaker price trend over the short term, while it has stayed strong over the medium and long term. Its momentum ranking was solid at the 99.25th percentile, whereas its growth and value rankings were mixed; more details on the fundamentals are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">available here</a>.

Top Analyst Sees 'Unprecedented Traction' For PLTR Stock After NATO Agreement: 'Another Validation Sign'

Axon Enterprise's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NYSE">AXON</a>) short percent of float has fallen 17.47% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.57 million shares sold short, which is 2.74% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.63 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Axon Enterprise Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744394426_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Axon Enterprise has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Axon Enterprise's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Axon Enterprise's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.22%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Investor interest in global defense stocks has surged following President Donald Trump&#8216;s decision to temporarily suspend U.S. military aid to Ukraine. As tensions continue to rise, defense companies may witness increased demand for their products and services in the geopolitical landscape.
What Happened: This development occurs amid ongoing support for Ukraine from European leaders, with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledging a £2.26 billion loan for military supplies.
Meanwhile, Trump aims to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44101854/trump-reportedly-halts-ukraine-military-aid-pressures-zelenskyy-to-seek-peace-with-russia-amid-growing-rift">pressure</a> Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into peace negotiations with Russia. According to the White House, the freeze will remain in place until Trump determines that Ukraine has made a meaningful effort toward diplomatic talks with Moscow.
As the aid remains frozen, defense stocks from around the world come to fore amid the conflicts. Here is a list of global defense exchange-traded funds which investors could consider in order to participate in the upside.

Why It Matters: Following a contentious argument in the White House, Trump blasted the Ukrainian leader's claim that peace remains "very, very far away," calling it "the worst statement" and warning, "America will not put up with it for much longer!&#8221; in a Truth Social post.

A White House official, speaking anonymously <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-zelenskyy-russia-ukraine-a15a459c9a3a393d040478ebbe250a9e">to</a> the Associated Press, characterized the move as a strategic &#8220;pause and review&#8221; of assistance. The official emphasized that the administration wants to ensure aid is &#8220;contributing to a solution&#8221; rather than prolonging the conflict.
Meanwhile, here is a list of some U.S. defense stocks to watch.
