<p>Despite the apparent consensus that Axon Enterprise, Inc. (AXON) has had a strong Q1 performance in 2024, the stock dropped. This dip is due in part to some institutions, namely Retirement Systems of Alabama, New York Life Investment Management LLC, and International Assets Investment Management LLC, paring down their holdings of AXON stocks. Conversely, others like the Swiss National Bank and Brighton Jones LLC increased their shares. With an overwhelming 77% ownership by institutions, movements from these entities hold a significant influence over AXON's performance.</p> <p>There is positive sentiment around AXON as it beats its earnings per share (EPS) and revenue forecasts due to strong demand for its software products. As such, the company raised its full-year revenue for 2024, reporting Q1 revenue of $461 million - a 34% YoY increase. Spurring this growth, AXON's ongoing expansion into the drone market with the acquisition of air defense startup Dedrone and its strong prediction for the following quarter's earnings are worth noting.</p> <p>However, analysts suggest a degree of caution when investing in AXON, citing potential risks despite the company's robust business strength. Some rumblings of potential surprises during the earnings season also stirred up a bit of uncertainty for investors. Lastly, it is important to note how AXON is compensating for these risks and uncertainties by venturing into robotic security tech and launching new products like the Axon Body Workforce to protect frontline workers.</p>
