AeroVironment (AVAV.US) plunged 5.08% to close at $183.01 during regular trading, steadily declining from the intraday high of $190.89 amid a 4.1% range. The drop was driven by profit-taking in the drone sector following Trump's announcement of tariffs on imported drones, coupled with uncertainty ahead of the upcoming earnings report. In Q4, revenue surged 133.27% YoY to $641.6 million, but net loss widened to $24.1 million, translating to an EPS of -$0.481. The company's price stands 56.2% below its 52-week high of $417.86 but sits above both the MA20 ($167.72) and MA60 ($167.77), with a YTD decline of 28.56%. A U.S. Army contract for $400 million in anti-drone lasers provides a potential counterbalance.

With a P/E of -38.3x and a P/B of 2.3x, the company's total market cap stands at ~$10.2 billion, reflecting ongoing losses. However, post-market activity saw the stock retreat to $192.55, suggesting skepticism about the sustainability of the rally.
