Elsight aims to become a key supplier of the “always-on” connections and software that help drones and other uncrewed machines work reliably, just as defense spending and adoption of off‑the‑shelf systems accelerate. The upside depends on turning big program interest into real orders while proving its broader platform can win against rivals and shifting government priorities.Read more

Codan looks set to ride a wave of growing demand for reliable communications gear from defense and emergency services, while also refreshing its detector lineup to keep sales strong. The upside case depends on new products, smart acquisitions, and more repeat revenue—but competition, fast-moving tech changes, and cyclical detector demand could still derail the story.Read more

Elsight rides the surge in drones and autonomous systems, but the same forces behind today’s boom could bring tougher competition and slower growth once demand cools.

See what could lift the business through recurring software and new products—and what could hold it back if adoption and approvals drag on.Read more

Codan may look like a steady grower, but rising rules, supply-chain scrutiny, and worsening global tensions could make it harder and more expensive to sell into key markets like defense and mining communications. Add its reliance on gold-detection demand and the risks of buying and integrating new businesses, and the outlook could be bumpier than many investors expect.Read more

Audinate sits at the centre of the shift from old-school, wired audio and video setups to software-led systems managed over networks and the cloud, which could make it harder for customers to switch away over time.
