Axon's Connected Devices Unit Gains Momentum: Can It Sustain?
Axon Enterprise reported strong demand for its Connected Devices segment, with revenues from Personal Sensors and Platform Solutions increasing 6.4% and 105.6% YoY, respectively. However, TASER product line revenues decreased 2% YoY. The company lowered its 2026 revenue outlook to $3.61-$3.63 billion due to delays in federal projects. Axon shares have declined 20.7% in six months, trading at a forward P/E of 31.37X.
