The main question: profits are rising, but only 14% of the last 2 years' profit came in as cash from operations. The gap between reported profit and actual cash is the thing to watch. ## What is the AeroVironment share price today? AeroVironment, Inc.'s share price was $123.53 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been falling for 15 weeks. That is 32.4% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $122 and $393, and at that close it sat 1% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 6 weeks running. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +355% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 25 September 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does AeroVironment pay? AeroVironment, Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is AeroVironment on? AeroVironment is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is AeroVironment profitable? AeroVironment, Inc. posted a net loss of $5.1 M in the Aug 2026 quarter. The full FY26 year was a loss of $265 M. That loss is 1.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $67.4 M. 6 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY26 profit was −$265 M (−707.8% on the year before). ## How much revenue does AeroVironment make, and is it growing? AeroVironment, Inc. reported $480 M of revenue in the Aug 2026 quarter, +5.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 6th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 45.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $2.0 B. The last four reported quarters add to $2.0 B. FY26 revenue was $2.0 B, +140.9% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +108.3% on average, against 45.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +84.4%, against +63.0% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does AeroVironment keep? AeroVironment, Inc.'s operating margin was −2.3% in the Aug 2026 quarter, 12.9 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −3.6% and 10.3%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +12.9 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +5.0 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is AeroVironment's profit turning into cash? Over the last 2 years, 14% of AeroVironment, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, a gap worth watching. In FY26 its operations used $78.4 M of cash, against −$265 M of profit. After $62.5 M of spending on assets, free cash was −$141 M: it spent more than its operations brought in. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does AeroVironment's cash go? AeroVironment, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $105 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 1.8% of FY26 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $105 M over the last 3 years. In short: most of the cash goes on covering the loss, not on new assets; spending on assets is small next to it. ## What is AeroVironment's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? AeroVironment, Inc.'s P/E is 180.2×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 64% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 134.2×, over 3.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −448.5% while the price moved −66.6%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +1.0% a year; about +220.3% a year came from earnings growth and about −219.3 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the AeroVironment business getting better or worse? AeroVironment, Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does AeroVironment earn on its capital? AeroVironment, Inc. earned a ROE of −6% in FY26. That is up from a low of −32% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 10.6 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −13.4% net margin and 0.35× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a −13.4% net margin × 0.35× asset turnover × 1.30× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −6.1% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: −0.3% − 10.3% = −10.6 percentage points. The 10.3% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The −0.3% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at −2.6%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does AeroVironment have too much debt? AeroVironment, Inc. has total debt of $851 M against shareholder equity of $4.4 B as of Aug 2026, so its debt is 0.19× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.36 in FY22 to 0.19 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the AeroVironment shareholding pattern? 13.1% of AeroVironment, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.3 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is AeroVironment from balance-sheet trouble? For AeroVironment, Inc., the Z-score is 6.14. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 6.14 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does AeroVironment rank in its industry? 34.8 out of 100, rank 27 of 30 in Aerospace & Defense, with 67% of the evidence available. AeroVironment, Inc. scores 34.8 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Aerospace & Defense, ranking 27. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 21 + 3.9 + 8.8 + 1.1 = 34.8. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is AeroVironment compared with? AeroVironment ranks 27 of 30 Aerospace & Defense companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 34.8 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

What the numbers show: AeroVironment, Inc.'s share price, valuation and earnings point in different directions. The next one or two quarters should make it clearer.
