The case for Oddity-: This Van name deserves a second look- 4. Oddity Tech Ltd. (ODD) Sector: Consumer Staples Industry: Personal Care Products Quant Sector Ranking (as of 8/14/2025): 13 out of 178 Quant Industry Ranking (as of 8/14/2025): 2 out of 31 Market Capitalization: $3.32B Quant Rating: Strong Buy Oddity is a direct-to-consumer beauty company operating exclusively online, with brands such as IL MAKIAGE and Spoiled Child. Its recent share price slide followed a post-earnings sell off due to slightly disappointing Q3 gross margin guidance, despite beating top-and bottom-line estimates and raising full-year forecasts. The recent pullback appears to be an overreaction, given the company’s tremendous track record of earnings beats and excellent fundamentals. ODD displays 22% Y/Y adjusted EPS growth, coupled with a FWD EBITDA Growth that's 387% above the Consumer Staples sector. This exceptional growth is complemented by strong profitability, including a 13% levered FCF margin and an ROE that is nearly 170% above the sector median. ODD Growth Grade Notably, the company sports an ‘A+’ Revisions grade, with seven FY1 up revisions vs. zero downward, a strong vote of confidence in the company’s earnings growth potential. ODD Revisions Grade Although the company’s phenomenal price momentum has chipped away at its valuation, ODD still trades at a 64% discount in terms of its FWD PEG ratio. Given the combination of sound fundamentals, excellent track record of earnings beats, and universal endorsement from Wall Street analysts, ODD should be considered an excellent opportunity in the Consumer Staples sector.

Unusual Machines Issues Letter to Shareholders Aug 14, 2025 at 4:01:00 PM CEO Allan Evans Shares Q2 2025 Highlights and Provides Strategic Insight into the Company's Plans ORLANDO, FL /ACCESS Newswire/ August 14, 2025 /Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC) ("Unusual Machines" or the "Company"), a manufacturer of NDAA compliant drones and drone components, today announced it filed its Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the second quarter of 2025 and provided the following letter to its shareholders from CEO Allan Evans. Dear Shareholders, This shareholder letter follows the completion of our second quarter of 2025. It has been another record revenue quarter. We closed a financing for $40M during the quarter and another $48.7M last month. We want to take this opportunity to provide context and deeper insights into our operations and what these represent for Unusual Machines' future. Operations Update Unusual Machines revenue for the second quarter was about $2.12 million which represents a year over year increase for the quarter of approximately 51%. This is our best revenue quarter of all time for the fifth consecutive quarter and was achieved in spite of tariffs creating consumer hesitancy. This was driven by an increase in enterprise sales which represented approximately 31% of our Q2 revenue. We were also able to improve gross margins to 37% which represents our highest quarterly margins to date. We expect the increase in margin and enterprise sales to continue throughout 2025 and extend into 2026. I think GAAP results seem exaggerated as our net loss for the second quarter was approximately $6.9 million driven mostly from expenses related to equity compensation. After non-cash and non-recurring adjustments, our non-GAAP adjusted net loss for the second quarter was approximately $0.8 million (see Table 2). Cash Position We prioritize managing our cash position and cash flow. We started the second quarter with $5.0 million and finished the quarter with $38.9 million. We have subsequently raised and additional $44.9M after fees. The breakdown of the cash position change over the quarter (see Table 1) provides greater detail into our expenses. Total expenses were above expectations, as there were costs related to the financings. We still absolutely prioritize prudent spending and are seeking to get to cash flow positive in 2026. Cap Table Changes The financings have changed our capitalization table substantially. Unusual Machines now has 30.2 million of shares outstanding and will be approximately 31.1 million shares after we close Rotor Lab with no shareholder to our knowledge owning more than 9.9% of the total. We have over $81 million in cash (which includes the Q3 financing), and $0 in debt. Given the cash position, limited cash burn, improving revenues, and diversified shareholder base; we believe the company is in a very strong position to continue to grow quickly throughout the remainder of 2025. Regulatory Impacts The regulatory environment is dynamic. Tariffs have been implemented, paused, changed, and seemed to have settled into a more stable steady state. We were able to adjust to the tariffs in Q2 and with our onshoring push have been able to improve margins in spite of an increase in some overseas goods. Internally, Unusual Machines is placing larger inventory orders to reduce uncertainty and get better component pricing to offset tariff costs. Externally, the regulatory environment is creating market conditions that strongly favor domestic drone companies. These impacts are likely to influence our business in ways we find challenging to model. While we expect to continue to see consumer sales growth, we expect it to slow down a little. At the same time, we see a major uptick in interest on the enterprise side as other businesses look to us for components and general predictability. We believe the impact of tariffs and regulations will strongly benefit Unusual Machines and expect to see GAAP validation of that expectation in the third quarter and fourth quarters as U.S. Government contracts start to be issued to some of our customers. Looking Ahead Our priorities moving forward are clear: Grow Revenue:We are being aggressive. We will continue to invest in and expand Rotor Riot's operations, driving both top-line growth and improved margins while introducing more U.S. made components at competitive prices. We will continue to take advantage of the tariffs to improve gross margins, and we anticipate substantial capital expense outlay as we work to very quickly scale a motor factory in Orlando to complement our factory that we will acquire in Australia once we close the Rotor Lab acquisition. Grow the Company:The U.S. government marketplace for drones is accelerating. To keep up with demand growth on the enterprise side - we need to scale the company. We are in the process of expanding our team from 20 employees to 50, are building out the motor factory, and plan on adding Fat Shark headset assembly to a new leased facility in the Orlando area. Get to Cash Flow Positive: We plan to grow in a controlled manner with the focus of our efforts driving us toward positive cash flow. Accounting for growth, we expect to need $20-30M in an annual revenue run rate to reach this target and are working toward getting there in 2026 depending on how the enterprise market materializes in the second half of 2025. We are enthusiastic about the future of Unusual Machines. The company is in a great position to capitalize on enterprise sales and take advantage of the regulatory environment and macroeconomic factors to rapidly scale. We believe the moment is now and are doing everything we can to capture market share. We appreciate you all for the confidence and support in our vision. Please reach out with any questions or comments. Sincerely, Allan Evans CEO of Unusual Machines >>>>>>>>>>> Ok I ran a piece when they bought the company that allows them to manufacture here I have to dig that up//////////////
Kind of a picks and shovels to Drone play/// which makes it interesting.: I think the trend towards non military applications has kept me away from this name for a while. we did own it a year ago. Unusual Machines NYSE AMERICAN: UMAC has an unusual story with its once-China-based manufacturing returning to the U.S. The critical takeaway is that this leading provider of advanced drone technology, components, and accessories is now an NDAA-compliant manufacturer that can sell to U.S. government agencies and the military. That is an important factor considering the global drone industry's reliance on China and plans for government spending in 2026. The U.S. drone market outlook remains strong. The market, valued at around $11 billion in 2025, is projected to grow at a steady double-digit CAGR into the next decade. This will lead to nearly a 200% increase in market size, fueled by growth across various end markets, including both commercial and government sectors. The commercial market will be dominated by media, agriculture, inspection, and delivery, a focus of Unusual Machines. The outlook for Unusual Machines is more robust. With its products supported by government spending, new approvals, an expanding product line, and accelerating use-case growth, the forecast is for hyper-growth, which is likely to be low. Currently, analysts tracked by MarketBeat predict revenue will grow by at least 100% in 2026 and maintain a nearly triple-digit growth rate for the upcoming years. Profitability is also projected and is expected to be achieved by the end of this decade. Institutional and Analysts Support UMAC Stock: Short-Selling Is a Hurdle The institutional and analyst trends are not robust, with the first group owning less than 5% of the stock as of early August, and the other includes only two ratings, but they are bullish. The institutions have been buying on balance since the IPO, and the analysts rate the stock unanimously as a Buy. Unusual Machines Stock Forecast Today 12-Month Stock Price Forecast: $19.00 89.05% UpsideBuy Based on 2 Analyst Ratings Current Price $10.05 High Forecast $20.00 Average Forecast $19.00 Low Forecast $18.00 UNUSUAL MACHINES STOCK FORECAST DETAILS They see this market advancing by at least 100% from the early August support levels and may also be cautious in their forecasts. The hurdle is the short-sellers. The short-sellers focus on UMAC’s fundamentals and capital needs, capping gains in 2025. The latest data shows short-interest increasing steadily from Q1 to Q3, reaching a record high of 15% in early August. Among the reasons is the company’s decision to sell more shares. Unusual Machines sold another five million shares in July, raising nearly $50 million in capital and further diluting shareholder value. Share sales before the July announcement decreased the count by 162% at the end of the first fiscal quarter. Although there is a risk of further dilution, the balance sheet remains solid. The company’s share sales should leave it with over $50 million in cash at the end of the current quarter, enough for several years at the Q1 cash burn rate, and it has no significant debt. The total liability is roughly 0.2X the Q1 quarter-ending cash, leaving the business in a flexible financial position. Unusual Machines Stock Is Set to Pop Unusual Machines' stock price action suggests it is set to pop when the FQ2 earnings report is released. The market shows the influence of short-sellers, but also demonstrates strong support at the $5 level and increasing support over time. The action in early August is mixed, but it supports an uptrending market and only needs a catalyst to spark another wave of buying. The forecast for Q2 is for another significant year-over-year gain, but for business to slow compared to Q1, which is unlikely given the demand trends. The likely scenario is that Unusual Machines will reveal better-than-forecasted results and provide a favorable outlook, sparking another upswing in the share price when it does.<----!!!!!!!!!
