$DRO (+9,87 %) DroneShield - my small bet on a big topic for the future
Last week, I took my first mini position in DroneShield (DRO) - deliberately risky, deliberately with play money. But sometimes that's exactly what you need if you want to get in on an exciting story early on.
Why this particular company?
DroneShield develops technologies to defend against and detect drones - a market that is becoming increasingly relevant due to geopolitical tensions, security concerns and military applications. And that's exactly where I see the future.
The figures that made me curious:
The company is growing enormously: turnover +170 % year-on-year - that's a strong sign for a young tech company.
The profit quality also fits: high gross margin of over 70%, i.e. efficient management despite the size of the company.
The valuation based on growth (PEG ratio below 0.7) is attractive in my view.
And the balance sheet also makes an impression: hardly any debt, very solid for a company in the growth phase.
In addition, the ratio of growth to profitability is right - a balanced mix that I classify as "healthy growth".
Of course, this is not a "safe bank". Turnover is still comparatively low, the share is volatile - but that's precisely why I only entered with a small position.
Conclusion: For me, this is a speculative investment with a very exciting business model. I'll stay tuned - let's see what happens.
