Drone stocks such as ZenaTech (NASDAQ: ZENA), Leonardo DRS Inc. (NASDAQ: DRS), Ondas Holdings (NASDAQ: ONDS), Red Cat Holdings (NASDAQ: RCAT), and AIRO Group Holdings (NASDAQ: AIRO) could easily see higher highs.
Not only are drones quickly becoming an essential tool for the U.S. government, but also for multi-billion-dollar businesses involved in defense, construction, logistics, agriculture, oil and gas, public security, deliveries, engineering, and telecom.
All of which is helping to create a $355.55 billion drone-as-a-service (DaaS) market and related stocks, such as ZenaTech.
In fact, the company’s DaaS model is designed to provide flexible, on-demand or convenient subscription-based access for business or government clients, to advanced drone services for surveying, inspections, power washing, maintenance, and more, eliminating the need to invest in drone hardware and software, pilots, maintenance, or regulatory compliance.
Fueling upside, ZenaTech Just Signed an Offer to Acquire a Warehouse and Inventory Management Company with Established Long-Term US Defense Government Contracts, Accelerating DaaS Expansion on the East Coast
ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) just signed an offer to acquire a Southeast US-based warehouse and inventory management services company serving a principal service branch of the US Department of Defense.
The proposed acquisition brings deep expertise in organizing, maintaining, and optimizing physical inventories, ensuring that mission-critical assets and materials are accounted for and ready when needed.
When completed, combined with other recent acquisitions in the Southeast region including Cardinal Civil Resources, ZenaTech’s East Coast DaaS footprint and capacity to serve government and defense agencies will be strengthened.
As noted by Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO:
“This proposed acquisition represents another important step toward providing access to established US defense agency relationships, enabling increased capacity to deliver Drone as a Service or DaaS at scale to East Coast-based government and defense agency customers. This will also provide opportunities for our IQ Nano indoor inventory management drone, which we believe will help us move up the value chain as a full-spectrum partner in inventory management and logistics automation, driving expanded readiness, accuracy and operational capability to our armed forces."
ZenaTech has now completed eight acquisitions toward its goal of establishing 25 Drone as a Service locations by mid-year, 2026.
