KTOS - DoD's Pivot To Over-The-Horizon Strategy Is Bullish For Kratos' Drone Business
- Among other commercial systems, Kratos Defense & Security specializes in unmanned autonomous drone technology.
- President Biden and the DoD's recent pivot from nation-building (ground troops) to relying on "Over-the-Horizon" capabilities is a long-term bullish catalyst for Kratos.
- Indeed, two recent and successful drone strikes on ISIS-K in Afghanistan is a real-life example of autonomous drone technology in action.
- Kratos is a high-risk high-reward proposition because it has yet to be highly profitable and trades with a high-valuation (forward P/E=76.9x).
- Yet KTOS has found a sponsor in Cathie Wood's ARK funds: ARKQ and ARKX, in aggregate, own 8.9 million shares - or an estimated 7% of KTOS's outstanding shares.
