Managing DRO Investments After Significant Growth, page-2

It’s a little nerve wracking, especially if you’ve been burnt before (Maverick/Freedom and Buccaneer come to mind for me). I’ve pulled a bit out before the financial year to try to take advantage of tax rates, I’ve held for some time so CPT discount helps.
I’m halfway considering taking some more out in the near term, but I’m content to let a decent amount run.
reasons:
1. There’s a lot of money coming in at $1.50+ that will want to see a decent return and is likely to hold.
2. Market conditions, continued growth, potential to be greatly in demand both in an emergent conflict or in peacetime general preparation - if every unit, tank, base, vehicle, etc will need protection in every army, there will be huge demand. Being a NATO trusted supplier makes DRO the standard. I don’t think it wil be long til they open a US manufacturing plant to equip a huge fleet demand there.
3. There hasn’t been a high profile drone attack on civilians or political leaders that has hit the public consciousness yet. But it would seem inevitable (God forbid and give the protectors foresight). But there is likely to be a reflexive demand if such an event occurred - it would be duty of care and due diligence to have this tech attached to any major events or facilities.
4. We never know when the next big contract may come in, but the potential for a very large one seems realistic.
5. The company remains R&D focused and is partnering their tech well to integrate with other systems, meaning we’re less likely to get beaten out of the market. The constant need to evolve actually increases demand which is good. Even if AI sees autonomous drones commonplace, the detection side is still where we’re elite.
6. Buyout. We seem an obvious target for a prime.

Downsides: hype, market manipulation, a prime develops better tech and can pump it out at scale and is favoured for that (look up the story of American Bantam who created the jeep). Dilution under the guise of expanding manufacturing capacity is another issue - a 15% addition to shares now is a lot of shares and less dividends should they eventuate.

For now on the balance though, I’m holding and will cop the tax bill when it comes if I get out substantially (my lowest parcel I bought at under 11 cents and my average is around 20c bumped up by the placements).

GLTAH, hope it continues to grow, look forward to any tips or strategies anyone has!
