BofA says HawkEye 360 is ‘flying below the radar’

Bank of America upgraded HawkEye 360 (HAWK) to Buy, citing attractive valuation and strong business fundamentals. Analyst Ronald Epstein lowered his price target to $23 but noted the stock's recent rise and potential for growth, pointing to 87% Q2 revenue growth, a $292M backlog, and international demand. U.S. revenue slowdown is attributed to government delays, with new awards from agencies like the NRO and NASA.
