Swarms of nanodrones can greatly increase the efficiency of agriculture. Researchers are certain that they can spray and fertilize independently when they detect a need and much more.

Sat., May 31, 2025, 3:47 p.m.

Unprecedented growth

The global market for agricultural nanodrones is growing rapidly. Forecasts predict an average annual growth rate of 35% over the next decade. Governments and private investors are increasingly investing in this groundbreaking technology and driving progress in research, development and deployment.

Agricultural countries such as India, Brazil and the countries of sub-Saharan Africa are actively using nanodrones. The market for small and nano drones is expected to reach USD 10.4 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 8.6% from 2023. The focus here is on agriculture and disaster management.

Political recommendations also advocate subsidies and incentives to encourage small farmers to use drone technology.

Nanodrones make agriculture much more efficient

Research shows that the use of nanodrones has helped to optimize efficiency in agriculture. The Robotic Eagle-Micro Drone, for example, shows the potential of bio-inspired nanodrones in tackling agricultural problems such as pollinator decline and crop monitoring.

Nanocopters, or small helicopter-like drones, can also be used to stimulate pollination and increase productivity.

Examples: Monitor, detect, treat

The seamless integration of nanodrones into sensor networks has proven its worth in large-scale agricultural monitoring. It improves crop yields and reduces the use of chemical pesticides at the same time.

As these drones detect plant diseases before visible symptoms appear, they prevent large-scale crop losses and thus ensure food security even in regions affected by unpredictable climate changes.

Newer nanodrones offer innovative solutions that increase efficiency while reducing operating costs and environmental impact. For example, nanodrones such as AgroFly are designed for high-precision pesticide application, minimizing drift and ensuring optimal crop protection without excessive exposure to the product.

Another system called AgroWings is designed for large-scale monitoring and is equipped with AI-powered sensors that analyze soil conditions, detect nutrient deficiencies and provide real-time feedback to farmers.

Robotic Eagle uses advanced imaging technologies to detect early signs of disease, pest infestation and water stress to intervene in time and prevent large-scale crop failure.

Nano drones in agriculture are a growing trend. There are various companies that specialize in drones for agriculture and whose shares are traded on the stock exchange, such as Drone Destination or ZenaTech. There are also companies that manufacture drones in general, such as DJI or Parrot, whose shares can also be found on the stock exchange.

Drone Destination:

This company is a major player in the agricultural drone market and recently completed a successful IPO.

🚨 Disclaimer: This is not investment advice; I am invested in all the stocks discussed here.

These analyses are primarily for my personal decision-making - I am happy if they also offer added value for you 🙂

Here we go already!

Europe's defense industry has experienced a boom since the war in Ukraine: in 2024, global military spending rose by 9.4% to a record high of USD 2.72 trillion - the sharpest increase since the Cold War.

Europe in particular increased its budgets (including Russia) by around 17%, driven by the new threat situation.

This rearmament is also benefiting US arms companies, as many European armed forces are increasingly relying on US weapons systems.

🤔 Trump 2.0 - tailwind or risk for US defense stocks?

Since Donald Trump moved back into the White House in January 2025, US defense policy has changed noticeably - with a direct impact on the defense industry and its investors.

📈 Defense spending on record course

Trump has announced a defense budget for fiscal year 2026 of over 1 trillion USD an increase of 13% compared to the previous year.

Of particular note is the ambitious "Golden Dome" project, a space-based missile defense system estimated at USD 175 billion and involving companies such as Lockheed Martin and SpaceX.

📉 Protectionism as a double-edged sword

At the same time, Trump is pursuing an aggressive trade policy:

• 10% base tariff on all imports, with higher "reciprocal" tariffs for countries with trade surpluses with the US.
• Doubling steel and aluminum tariffs to 50%, which will increase the cost of arms production in particular.

These measures could put a strain on supply chains and increase production costs for US defense companies. RTX (formerly Raytheon) expects additional costs of up to USD 850 million in 2025 alone as a result of the new tariffs.

👉 Importance of US weapons systems for Europe's defense:

Many European armed forces rely on US technology. Examples include the procurement of F-35 stealth jets (e.g. by Germany, Poland, Finland), Patriot air defense systems (e.g. by Germany, Poland) or Abrams tanks (Poland).

US systems are considered combat-proven and immediately available, which improves interoperability within NATO in Europe.

Europe benefits from US innovations (e.g. drones, missiles, fighter jets), while the USA receives stable sales markets in return.

Especially against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and new threats (Russia, terror, unstable regions), Europe's dependence on US armaments continues to grow.

🚨 Even if Europe wants to become more "strategically autonomous" in the long term, US defense systems are irreplaceable for the foreseeable future. Anyone who wants to seriously pursue national or alliance defense needs US technology - both operationally and politically.

📍 Stock analysis - Fundamental & Technical

Following this overview, here are six selected US defense stocks in detail.

For each share, we look at the strategic benefits, current business figures including management outlook, key valuation ratios, analyst assessments, the attractiveness of entering the market at the current price and the dividend situation.

ℹ️ My approach to technical analysis:

My entries are usually follow-on purchases as part of a long-term buy-and-hold approach. I do not try to time tops or bottoms, but look for zones where opportunities and risks are well balanced in the long term.

👉 Important here: sometimes "doing nothing" is the best decision.

If the price doesn't reach my buyback zones - then I simply don't buy more. Patience is often a better entry trigger than actionism (especially in the case of highly volatile defense stocks).

📉 I let the market come to me - not the other way around.

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC - Free Report)

$NOC (-0,85%)

Reported adjusted earnings of USD 6.06 per share for the first quarter of 2025, missing the consensus estimate of USD 6.21 by 2.4%.

Including the one-time impact of the B-21 LRIP loss provision, the company reported GAAP earnings of $3.32 per share, down from $6.32 in the year-ago quarter.

The year-over-year decline is due to a pre-tax loss incurred by Northrop Grumman in the first quarter. This was due to higher manufacturing costs, primarily due to a process change to accelerate production, as well as increased forecasted costs and volumes for general procurement materials.

NOC's total revenue

NOC's total revenue of $9.47 billion in the first quarter missed the consensus estimate of $9.91 billion by 4.4%. Sales also fell by 6.6% compared to the same quarter last year (USD 10.13 billion). This decline is attributable to lower sales in the Aerospace Systems and Space Systems segments.

Northrop Grumman's order backlog

The company's total backlog at the end of the first quarter was $92.80 billion, compared to $91.47 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.

NOC's Aerospace Systems segment details:

This segment's revenue of $2.81 billion decreased by 7.6% compared to the prior year. This is due to lower revenue from B-21 and other constrained programs and a decrease in maintenance volume for the F-35 due in part to material availability.

The division's operating loss amounted to USD 183 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to an operating profit of USD 306 million. The operating profit margin also deteriorated from 10.1% to an operating loss margin of 6.5%. Mission Systems: Sales in this segment increased by 5.6% to USD 2.81 billion. This was due to higher sales from the SABR (Scalable Agile Beam Radar) program, the expansion of programs for electronic self-protection and international ground-based radar systems as well as a higher volume of naval systems programs.

The unit's operating result fell by 4.5% to USD 361 million.

The operating margin decreased by 130 basis points to 12.9%. Defense Systems: Sales in this segment increased by 3.9% year-on-year to USD 1.81 billion. The improvement is attributable to the further expansion of the Sentinel program and the higher volume of certain military ammunition programs. The unit's operating result improved by 14.7% year-on-year to USD 179 million.

The operating margin increased by 90 basis points to 9.9%.

Space Systems:

Sales in this segment fell by 18.5% to USD 2.57 billion. This is due to the discontinuation of work on the Constrained Space and NGI programs as well as lower volumes in Commercial Resupply Services (CRS), Space Development Agency (SDA) satellite programs and other constrained space programs.

The segment's operating profit fell by 14.2% year-on-year to USD 283 million. However, the operating margin increased by 50 basis points to 11%. Northrop Grumman's Operating Update Total operating income for the quarter was $573 million, a significant decrease from $1,071 million in the prior year quarter.

This decline was due to lower operating results in Aerospace Systems, Mission Systems and Space Systems.

NOC's financial position

Northrop Grumman's cash and cash equivalents were $1.69 billion as of March 31, 2025, compared to $4.35 billion as of December 31, 2024.

Long-term debt (net of current portion) was $14.17 billion compared to $14.69 billion as of December 31, 2024.

Net cash flow from operating activities amounted to USD 1.57 billion in the first three months of 2025 compared to USD 0.71 billion in the previous year.

Northrop Grumman's forecast for 2025

The company partially reaffirmed its 2025 guidance, continuing to expect revenue in the range of $42.00 billion to $42.50 billion. The consensus estimate for revenue is $42.27 billion, above the midpoint of the company's guidance.

.

NOC now expects adjusted earnings of between 24.95 and 25.35 US dollars per share, below the previously forecast range of 27.85 to 28.25 US dollars.

The consensus earnings estimate is $28.08 per share, above the company's new guidance.

Northrop Grumman continues to expect adjusted free cash flow between $2.85 billion and $3.25 billion. $NOC (-0,85%)

2025 - A year to forget if you look at the first quarter. While things were still looking positive until around mid-February, things have been going steadily downhill since the middle or end of February.

March 2025 was the worst single month in my portfolio since 2013, with price losses of almost 10%. The negative market trend in the US and a weak US dollar naturally hurt my portfolio particularly badly.

Monthly view:

In total, March was -9,9%. This corresponds to price losses of almost 30.000€.

The MSCI World (benchmark) was -7.9% and the S&P500 -5.8% (in dollars, for euro investors it was also more like -10%).

Winners & losers:

A look at the winners and losers shows a clear picture in March:

Winners? You will look for them almost in vain this month.

In 1st and 2nd place are Deutsche Bank
$DBK (+2,16%) and Allianz $ALV (+0,09%) two German financial stocks with gains of around € +180 each. Northrop Grumman $NOC (-0,85%) at +120€ is only one of 2 American stocks with a positive price performance in March.

A completely different picture on the losers' side:

1st place goes to NVIDIA $NVDA (-2,42%) with price losses of over €4,200. It is followed by Meta $META (-0,96%) and Palo Alto Networks
$PANW (+1,36%) with price losses of ~€2,000 each. 4th place goes to Alphabet
$GOOG (-0,36%) with €1,600 in share price losses. The flop 5 is then completed by a non-tech stock, namely Starbucks
$SBUX (-1,8%) with losses of ~€1,400.

The performance-neutral movements were €500 in March - these are still lower at the moment due to the house construction issue.

current year:

In the YTD my portfolio is now also clearly in the red with -8,4%. The MSCI World is still doing better at -5.4%.

In total, my portfolio currently stands at ~260.000€. This corresponds to an absolute decline of ~€25,000 in the current year 2025. -28.000€ of this comes from exchange rate losses, slightly offset by ~900€ from dividends / interest and ~2.000€ from additional investments.

Dividend:

• Dividends in March were +8% above the previous year at ~390€
• At the top of the list Amgen
  $AMGN (+0,3%) with meanwhile over 55€ (gross) dividend every 3 months
• In the current year, the dividends after 3 months are +15% over the first 3 months of 2025 at ~730€
• The US dollar will also have an impact on dividends this year. Example: 2,500$ at an exchange rate of 1:1 equals 2,500€. At an exchange rate of 1.08$, these 2,500$ would only be worth 2,315€, a decrease of ~185€

Buying & selling:

• I bought in March for 750€
• 460€ shares
• 190€ ETFs
• 100€ crypto
• Sales Was there no

Change of strategy?

At the moment, Donald Trump and his policies are causing a lot of scrutiny, especially with regard to the (high) US share in the portfolio.

I can understand these thoughts very well. However, I have decided not to change my strategy and to maintain my high US & tech allocation in my portfolio.

There are certainly better short-term investment opportunities (European defense stocks as an example). Through my savings plans, however, I have deliberately opted for a long-term buying strategy that I will not throw overboard every few months. In the long term, for example, 2022 was an extremely good year to buy tech stocks.

As I don't have a portfolio target for this year anyway, I'm happy to go even lower - hopefully I'll be happy about the entry prices in 2-3 years' time.

YouTube:

Unfortunately, I only uploaded 2 videos to YouTube in March. Unfortunately, work in March was extremely stressful and time-consuming, so there was little time left for this.

I have also uploaded my March portfolio update as a video there if anyone would like to see some more information on the portfolio performance: https://youtu.be/fxbvatj6uvM?si=xP_gvoEmtuqSsfz8

I'm particularly happy to receive criticism or feedback here! 😊

Goal 2025

As already mentioned in the January & February review, a fixed deposit target for this year makes little sense due to the house construction. A fixed savings rate is also difficult to implement due to the issue (unforeseen costs and the like).

A dividend target is also very difficult due to the high volatility of the US dollar.

That's why I'm focusing on other topics this year, especially building a house and possibly one or two YouTube successes.

How are things looking for you? Are you sticking to your portfolio target for 2025 or do you also see difficulties in achieving it after the first quarter?

Companies such as Procter & Gamble $PG (-2,03%) Nestlé $NESN (-0,54%) or Coca-Cola $KO (-0,86%) benefit from their strong market position and stable cash flows. People are always buying household products, food and beverages.

Healthcare sector - crisis-resistant growth stocks

Companies such as Johnson & Johnson $JNJ (+0,08%) , Eli Lilly $LLY (-0,8%) or Novo Nordisk $NOVO B (+0,45%) supply medicines and treatments that are in demand regardless of the economic situation. There is a particular focus on the boom in diabetes and obesity therapies.

Providers - Stable income through basic care

Companies such as NextEra Energy $NEE (+1,4%) Duke Energy $DUK (-0,41%) or Southern Company $SO (-0,08%) are benefiting from the constant demand for electricity and water. Renewable energies are also playing an increasingly important role.

Commodities & gold - hedging against inflation & uncertainty

Gold mining companies such as Barrick Gold $ABX or Newmont $NEM (-1,72%) often benefit in times of economic uncertainty, as investors flee to gold as protection against crises.

Defense & Armaments - Profiteers of geopolitical tensions

Rising military spending worldwide makes companies such as Lockheed Martin $LMT (-1,36%) or Northrop Grumman $NOC (-0,85%) into potential winners of long-term conflicts and global uncertainties.

This is just a small selection of companies. But hopefully it gives a small insight into the interesting crisis-proof sectors.

Defensive investors could now focus on consumer staples, healthcare and utilities for long-term stability. Opportunity-oriented investors could look to commodities, gold or defense if geopolitical tensions continue to rise.
