DroneShield Ltd. (DRO:ASX; DRSHF:OTC) secures two more contracts totaling AU$21.4 million and commits to investing AU$13 million to expand its facilities, noted a Bell Potter report.

DroneShield Ltd. (DRO:ASX; DRSHF:OTC) landed two more contracts recently, and to meet continued rising demand for its products, plans to expand its manufacturing and research and development (R&D) capacity, reported Bell Potter Analyst Daniel Laing in a July 17 research note. On DroneShield, Bell Potter raised its target price 46% but downgraded its rating, given its news and valuation. “The value of contracts received year to date, about AU$175 million (AU$175M), is evidence of increased levels of customer activity, and DroneShield is well placed to meet this demand,” Laing wrote. “We believe this momentum is likely to continue in calendar year 2025 and later periods based on the reported AU$2.4 billion sales pipeline.” This Australian company provides antidrone solutions that integrate proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) software with various hardware products used to detect, identify and defeat aerial, ground and maritime threats, described Laing. The company’s customers primarily are military and intelligence agencies but also include law enforcement, critical infrastructure and commercial entities around the world. 8.3% Return Potential Bell Potter’s new target price on DroneShield is AU$3.80 per share, up from AU$2.60 previously. The target represents a less than 15% premium to the current share price, about AU$3.51 at the time of Laing’s report. From here, the return to target is 8.3%. The financial services firm’s new rating on DroneShield is Hold, changed from Buy because “downside risk is prevalent at the current valuation,” Laing wrote. New Contract Wins The analyst relayed that since DroneShield was awarded a set of three contracts for a European customer in late June, it secured two additional contracts. One, for AU$9.7M, is for a customer in Latin America. The other is an AU$11.7M follow-on, two-year R&D contract with a defense department of one of the countries in the Five Eyes alliance. Expanding Capacity DroneShield recently announced it plans to invest AU$13M in leasing and outfitting another facility in Sydney, slated to open this December, reported the analyst. This new plant will expand the manufacturer’s annual production capacity to AU$900M by mid-2026. Plus, the company intends to expand its capacity even more by using contract manufacturers in Europe and the U.S. Updated Forecasts Laing reported that Bell Potter updated each valuation used in determining a target price on DroneShield to account for its earnings changes as well as market movements and time creep. Given these changes, Bell Potter raised its long-term revenue forecasts and materially increased operating expenses due to DroneShield’s faster-than-expected operational expansion. The net result was Bell Potter lowering its earnings per share by 19% for 2025 and by 17% for 2026 and 2027. “We reiterate this is due to the efforts of DroneShield to scale its operations to meet increasing levels of customer demand rather than poor performance,” Laing wrote. Investment Thesis Laing reiterated the components of Bell Potter’s investment thesis on DroneShield. In addition to valuation and strong demand for the company’s products, addressed earlier in the analyst’s report, another factor is structural market growth, current and forecasted. What primarily is driving this, Laing noted, is countries around the world increasing their defense budgets in response to more and more geopolitical conflicts happening. Lastly, DroneShield could grow business further by entering adjacent markets because it has robust experience with AI and machine learning in the counterdrone market.

Short-Term Trade Ideas: Research Analysts may, from time to time, discuss “short-term trade ideas” in research reports. A short-term trade idea offers a near-term view on how a security may trade, based on market and trading events or catalysts, and the resulting trading opportunity that may be available. Any such trading strategies are distinct from and do not affect the analysts’ fundamental equity rating for such stocks. A short-term trade idea may differ from the price targets and recommendations in our published research reports that reflect the research analyst’s views of the longer-term (i.e. one-year or greater) prospects of the subject company, as a result of the differing time horizons, methodologies and/or other factors. It is possible, for example, that a subject company’s common equity that is considered a long-term ‘Hold’ or ‘Sell’ might present a short-term buying opportunity as a result of temporary selling pressure in the market or for other reasons described in the research report; conversely, a subject company’s stock rated a long-term ‘Buy’ or “Speculative Buy’ could be considered susceptible to a downward price correction, or other factors may exist that lead the research analyst to suggest a sale over the short-term. Short-term trade ideas are not ratings, nor are they part of any ratings system, and the firm does not intend, and does not undertake any obligation, to maintain or update short-term trade ideas. Short-term trade ideas are not suitable for all investors and are not tailored to individual investor circumstances and objectives, and investors should make their own independent decisions regarding any securities or strategies discussed herein.

Michelle Weaver: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I’m Michelle Weaver, U.S. Thematic and Equity strategist at Morgan Stanley.

David Adams: And I’m Dave Adams, head of G10 FX Strategy here at Morgan Stanley.

Michelle Weaver: Our colleagues were recently on the show to talk about the impact of the weak dollar on European equities. And today we wanted to continue that conversation by looking at what a week U.S. dollar means for the U.S. equity market.

It’s Thursday, July 17th at 2pm in London.

Morgan Stanley has a bearish view on the U.S. dollar. And this is something our chief global FX strategist James Lord spoke about recently on the show. But Dave, I want to go over the outlook again, since Morgan Stanley has a really differentiated view on this. Do you think the dollar will continue to depreciate during the remainder of the year?

David Adams: We do, and we do. We have been dollar bears this whole year, and it has been very out of consensus. But we do think the weakness will continue and our forecasts remain one of the most bearish on the street for the dollar.

The dollar has had its worst first half of the year since 1973, and the dollar index has fallen about 10 percent year to date, but we think we’re at the intermission rather than the finale. The second act for the dollar weakening trend should come over the next 12 months as U.S. interest rates and U.S. growth rates converge to that of the rest of the world. And FX hedging of existing U.S. assets held by foreign investors adds further negative risk premium to the dollar. The result is that we’re looking for yet another 10 percent drop in the dollar by the end of next year.

Michelle Weaver: That’s really interesting and a differentiated view for Morgan Stanley. When I think about one of the key themes that we’ve been following this year, it’s the multipolar world or a shift away from globalization to more localized spheres of influence. This is an important element to the dollar story.

How have tariffs impacted currency and your outlook?

David Adams: Tariffs play a key role in this framework. Tariffs have a positive impact on inflation, but a negative impact on U.S. growth. But the inflation impact comes faster and the negative impact on growth and employment that comes a bit later. This puts the Fed in a really tough spot and it’s why our economists are pretty out of consensus in calling for both no cuts this year, and a much faster and deeper pace of cuts in 2026.

The results for me in FX land is that the market is underestimating just how low the Fed will go and just how low U.S. rates will go. In general, tariffs play a big role in helping to generate this rate convergence, and rate differentials are a fundamental driver of currencies. The more that U.S. rates are going to fall, the more likely it is that the dollar keeps falling too.

Michelle Weaver: Tariffs have certainly impacted heavily on our view for the U.S. equity market and it, it’s something that no asset class is, is not impacted by really given the volatility and the magnitude of the move we’ve seen this year.

Are foreign investors hedging more?

David Adams: We do think they’ve started hedging more, but the bulk of the move is really ahead of us. Foreign investors own a massive amount of U.S. assets. European investors alone own $8 trillion of U.S. bonds and stocks, and that’s only about a quarter of total foreign ownership of U.S. assets.

Now when foreign investors buy U.S. assets, they have to sell their currency and buy the dollar. But at some point, you’re going to have to bring that money back, so you’re going to have to sell the dollar and buy back your home currency again. If the dollar rises over this period, you’ve made a gain, congratulations. But if it falls, you’ve made a loss.

Now a lot of foreign investors will hedge this currency risk, and they’ll use instruments like forwards and options to do so. But in the case of the U.S., we found that a lot of foreign investors really choose not to hedge this exposure, particularly on the equity side. And this reflects both a view that the dollar would appreciate. So, they want to take that gain, but it also reflects the dollar’s negative correlation to equities.

So, what’s changing now? Well, a lot of investors are starting to rethink this decision and add those FX hedges, which really means dollar selling. Now, there’s a lot of factors motivating their decision to hedge. One, of course is price. If U.S. rates are going to converge meaningfully to the rest of the world – like we expect – that flattens out the forward curve and makes those forwards cheaper to buy to hedge.

But the breakdown in correlations that we’ve seen more broadly, the uptick in policy volatility and uncertainty, and the sell off in the dollar that we’ve already seen year to date, have all increased the relative benefit of FX hedging.

Now, Michelle, I often get asked the question, that’s a nice story, but is hedging actually picking up? And the answer is yes. The initial data suggests that hedging has picked up in the second quarter, but because of the size of U.S. asset holdings and given how much it was initially unhedged, we could be talking about a significant long-term flow. We have a lot more to go from here.

We estimated that just over half of Europe’s $8 trillion holdings are unhedged. And if hedge ratios pick up even a little bit, we could be talking about hundreds of billions of dollars in flow. And that’s just from Europe.

But Michelle, I wanted to ask you. What do you think a weaker dollar means for U.S. companies?

Michelle Weaver: The weaker dollar is a substantial underappreciated tailwind for U.S. multinational earnings, and this is because these companies sell products overseas and then get paid in foreign currency. So, when the dollar’s down, converting that foreign revenue back into dollars, gives them a nice boost, something that domestic only companies aren’t going to benefit from. And this is called the translation effect.

Recently we’ve seen earnings revisions breadth, essentially a measure of whether analysts are getting more optimistic or pessimistic start to turn up after hitting typical cycle lows. And based on our house view for the dollar, there’s likely more upside ahead based on that relationship for revisions over the next year.

David Adams: Interesting. Interesting. And is this something you’re hearing about from companies on things like earnings calls?

Michelle Weaver: No, this dynamic isn’t being highlighted much on earnings calls. Typically, companies talk about foreign exchange effects when the dollar’s strengthening and provides a headwind for corporate earnings. But when we’re in the reverse scenario like we are now with the dollar weakening and getting a boost to earnings, we tend to not hear as much discussion, which is why I called this an underappreciated tailwind.

And according to your team’s forecast, we still have a substantial amount of weakening to go and thus a substantial amount of benefit for U.S. companies to go.

David Adams: Yeah, that makes sense. And who do you think benefits most from this dynamic? Are there any sectors or investment styles that look particularly good here?

Michelle Weaver: So generally, it’s the large cap companies that stand to gain the most from this dynamic, and that’s because they do more business overseas. If we look at foreign revenue exposure for different indices, around 40 percent of the S & P 500’s revenue comes from outside the U.S., while that’s just 22 percent for the Russell 2000 small cap index. But the impact of a weaker dollar isn’t the same across the board.

Foreign revenue exposure and earnings revision sensitivity to the dollar vary quite a bit, when we look at the sector and the industry group level. From a foreign

revenue exposure perspective, Tech Materials and Industrials have the highest foreign revenue exposure and thus can benefit a lot from that dynamic we’ve been talking about. When we look from an earnings revisions perspective, Capital Goods, Materials, Software and Tech Hardware have the most earnings revisions, sensitivity to a weaker dollar, so they could also benefit there.

David Adams: So, I guess this brings us to the million-dollar question that all of our listeners are asking. What do we do with this information? What does this mean for investors?

Michelle Weaver: So as the dollar, continues to weaken, investors should keep a close eye on the industries and companies poised to benefit the most – because in this multipolar world, currency dynamics are not just a macro backdrop, but an important driver of earnings and equity performance.

Dave, thank you for taking the time to talk.
