Aevex (AVEX) Earns ‘Buy’ Reco as War Boosts Prospects, Soars 7.7%

Aevex Corp. (NYSE:AVEX) is one of the 10 Resilient Stocks in a Sea of Uncertainties.

Aevex Corp. continued its climb in its third day as a publicly listed company, surging by 7.72 percent to close at $35.99 apiece, as investors took heart from an analyst’s “buy” recommendation amid rosy prospects from ongoing geopolitical tensions, as well as its current cheap valuation.

In the recent episode of Mad Money on CNBC, host and former hedge fund manager Jim Cramer issued a “buy” recommendation for Aevex Corp.’s (NYSE:AVEX) stock amid growth opportunities, with the ongoing war between the US and Iran highlighting the need for stronger defense capabilities.

Aevex Corp. (NYSE:AVEX) specializes in the production of military-level drones.

According to Cramer, the company’s current $3 billion valuation appears “too low,” partly due to the eased tensions between the US and Iran on the same day it went public.

“Obviously, they’re on track to do much better than that, even if they can’t maintain their insane growth rate from the first quarter. And remember, Aevex is profitable,” he said.

“Aevex is right at the center of maybe the hottest single trend in the defense industry, which itself is booming at the moment. And given this company’s rough numbers, I think the stock’s too cheap here, which is why you have my blessing to buy it at these levels, even if the war’s reaching its conclusion,” Cramer said.

Last week, Aevex Corp. (NYSE:AVEX) successfully raised $320 million in fresh funds from the sale of 16 million shares to the public, proceeds of which will be used for the acquisition of 16 million shares in Athena Technology Solutions Holdings, LLC—a leading provider of full-spectrum airborne intelligence solutions for the global intelligence community.
