18 Dec 25. European defence group KNDS plans dual listing in 2026

  • Summary
  • Strong demand for defence stocks since Russia-Ukraine war
  • Possible valuation up to 20bn euros, say sources
  • Former Renk CFO to join board to guide new financial structure
  • KNDS makes Leopard tanks, ammunition
  • Created in 2015 from France’s Nexter, Germany’s KMW

Franco-German defence group KNDS plans to launch an initial public offering in Paris and Frankfurt next year, it said on Wednesday, hoping to tap into strong investor interest in defence stocks. The long-expected IPO, which is subject to market conditions, will support KNDS’ long-term growth strategy, broadening its access to capital markets and enabling further investment in industrial capacity, technology and innovation, it said. Last year, KNDS had sales of 3.8bn euros ($4.5bn), up from 3.3 bn in 2023. Its order intake, which was 11.2 bn euros in 2024, remained strong during 2025, it said. The company gave no additional details on the planned IPO. Two financial sources said KNDS could be valued at up to 20 bn euros. They said the company was aiming for listings in June and July and was currently selecting banks for the IPO.

“In the defence industry, everyone will accelerate their IPO plans,” one investment banker told Reuters.

DEFENCE SPENDING SURGE IN EUROPE

European defence firms have been boosted by a surge in military spending since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, as governments move to bolster their own security while supplying Kyiv with weapons and ammunition. Formed in 2015 with the merger of Germany’s Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) – the maker of Leopard tanks – and French state-owned weapons maker Nexter, KMW’s previous private owners and the French government are joint shareholders in the company.

KNDS CEO Jean-Paul Alary suggested in September that the German government might take a stake in the company. Financial sources have said a decision on this should be made by February. Alary has ruled out an investment from Germany’s Rheinmetall (RHMG.DE),citing differing strategies. While Rheinmetall is diversifying, KNDS intends to remain focused on making land systems, including tanks and ammunition. KNDS said Christian Schulz, former chief financial officer of tank gearbox maker Renk (R3NK.DE), would join the board from January, bringing experience in IPOs. The company said a dual listing would give it greater scope to invest in technology, capacity and talent. It has a multi-year order backlog, amounting to about 23.5 bn euros in 2024, with all business units contributing and what it describes as above-industry profitability.

He leaves the Group’s finances in a great position; we have a strong balance sheet, good cash generation and have delivered revenue, profit and margin growth over recent years, as well as establishing a strong team of finance leaders across the business.”

 

17 Dec 25. Trump targets defense giants’ shareholder payouts as cost overruns mount, sources say.

  • Summary
  • Trump administration targets defense contractor inefficiencies
  • Industry groups concerned about potential executive order
  • Defense firms’ shares drop after news of potential restrictions

The Trump administration is planning an executive order that would limit dividends, buybacks and executive pay for defense contractors whose projects are over-budget and delayed, according to three sources briefed on the order. President Donald Trump and the Pentagon have been complaining about the expensive, slow-moving and entrenched nature of the defense industry, promising dramatic changes that would make the production of war equipment more nimble. Industry groups have been on high alert about the closely-held proposal, which is tied to a Treasury Department initiative, two of the sources said. Reuters could not determine exactly how the order would compel defense firms to enact any restrictions. The sources, who declined to be named because the information is confidential, said the language of the order could still change. A White House official said: “Until officially announced by the White House, discussion about potential executive orders is purely speculation.” Shares of Lockheed (LMT.N) fell 1.6% and Northrop Grumman (NOC.N) sank 2% in after-hours trading after some aspects of the news were first reported by online political news service Punchbowl.

DEFENSE FIRMS OFTEN BUY BACK SHARES

Share buybacks are common among defense firms, and several pay a dividend. Lockheed in October, for example, raised its dividend for the 23rd year in a row, to $3.45 per share. At the same time, it authorized the purchase of up to $2bn of its shares, raising the total amount promised for repurchases to $9.1bn. Lockheed’s F-35 fighter jet, one of the most expensive U.S. defense programs, has been plagued by rising costs and delays. Many big defense programs take much longer to deliver a product than initially promised and at a far higher price. The $140bn Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile program that will replace aging Minuteman III missiles, designed and managed by Northrop Grumman, will be years behind schedule and 81% over budget, the U.S. military said last year. The biggest defense firms, including Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics (GD.N) and Boeing (BA.N) did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the executive order.

PENTAGON PROCUREMENT OVERHAUL

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth unveiled sweeping changes in November to how the Pentagon purchases weapons, allowing the military to more rapidly acquire technology amid growing global threats, in accordance with an executive order signed by Trump in April. That restructuring will have direct authority over major weapons programs to eliminate bureaucracy. The November reforms targeted what Pentagon officials call “unacceptably slow” procurement, which they blame on fragmented accountability and misaligned incentives that have hampered the military’s ability to field new technology quickly. The defense industry has also lobbied for changes to the procurement process. In June, an industry group that represents defense and aerospace companies said it identified more than 50 regulatory requirements that discourage companies from doing business with the government. In a June 3 letter to Hegseth, the Aerospace Industries Association, which represents defense companies including RTX (RTX.N) Boeing and General Dynamics said its members wanted to eliminate regulations related to cybersecurity compliance, cost accounting standards, intellectual property rules and commercial acquisition requirements.

15 Dec 25. NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU), a global pioneer in high-performance blue laser technology, today announced that it has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. pursuant to which it will receive a gross cash infusion of $23.25 m in exchange for the issuance of a $25.0m unsecured debenture and related warrant packages. The financing will significantly strengthen NUBURU’s capital position and enable the Company to accelerate execution of its previously announced acquisition and integration roadmap, advancing its transformation into a vertically integrated, multi-domain Defense & Security platform. NUBURU will be positioned to move decisively from strategy into execution across its target industries — defense-grade laser and photonics systems, mission-critical software, advanced UAV platforms, and specialized defense mobility solutions. Closing is subject to customary closing conditions.

Strategic Plan Implementation

This financing will support NUBURU’s announced transformation plan, including allowing the company to hire key personnel and advisers, develop existing intellectual property, and continue to pursue key acquisitions and investments.

Transaction Update

As previously announced, NUBURU is currently pursuing key transactions, including the following:

Orbit Srl (“Orbit”) Acquisition — Mission-Critical Software & Operational Resilience

Through Nuburu Defense LLC (“Nuburu Defense”), NUBURU is advancing toward full control of Orbit, a mission-critical SaaS platform supporting operational resilience, crisis management, and situational-awareness use cases.

Orbit will serve as the digital backbone of NUBURU’s platform, delivering real-time data fusion, decision support, and end-to-end operational visibility across highly regulated industries and critical-infrastructure environments.

Lyocon Srl (“Lyocon”) Acquisition & Photonics Expansion

On December 1, 2025, NUBURU entered into Binding Heads of Terms to acquire Lyocon, an Italian photonics and laser-engineering company with advanced cleanroom and precision-manufacturing capabilities.

The Lyocon acquisition is anticipated to revitalize NUBURU’s blue-laser business by establishing a European manufacturing footprint and enhancing its potential, subject to future developments, to support the delivery of defense-grade photonics systems at scale.

Tekne SpA (“Tekne”) Strategic-Interest Program — Defense Mobility & Systems Integration

NUBURU confirms that the first €2m tranche of its €15m strategic support program for Tekne was successfully executed during the fourth quarter of 2025. It anticipates that, subject to ongoing negotiations and the satisfaction of agreed commercial stipulations, it may fund the remaining €13m convertible shareholder loan (“Tekne Loan”) in combination with the acquisition of an initial 2.9% equity stake in Tekne and commence operations under a Network Contract (Contratto di Rete) between the two companies. Conversion of the Tekne Loan, as well as any further strategic investment in Tekne that could result in the acquisition of a controlling interest, remain subject to applicable regulatory approvals, including “Golden Power” authorization from the Italian government.

Tekne would add specialized defense mobility, armored vehicle, and electronic-systems capabilities to NUBURU’s expanding platform.

Maddox Defense Joint Venture (“Maddox JV”) — Advanced UAV Platforms

Nuburu Defense is pursuing a controlling-interest in a joint venture with Maddox Defense Incorporated, which will focus on next-generation – dual-use – UAV solutions, through deployable additive-manufacturing pods rather than single-platform systems.

Key development areas include:

  • Containerized mobile additive-manufacturing pods utilizing multi-printer hybrid fleets (SLS and continuous-fiber composite systems) capable of producing structural, mission-critical defense components in forward or austere environments;
  • EM3D/ advanced additive manufacturing for defense, enabling rapid production of UAS components, ground systems parts, mission payload housings, tooling, and spares without reliance on centralized supply chains;
  • Defense manufacturing-as-a-service models, allowing allied forces and government customers to deploy production capacity where and when needed;
  • ISR-enabling platforms and mission hardware, produced, repaired, and iterated directly within theater;
  • Training, certification, and sustainment programs, including deployed Master Trainer teams and remote operational support;
  • Field deployment, lifecycle sustainment, and after-sales services, creating recurring revenue through consumables, upgrades, and support contracts.

The Maddox JV’s 2026–2028 business plan prioritizes the assessment and development of military and defense-oriented drone applications, while also evaluating commercial and civil-sector deployments, leveraging NUBURU’s core blue-laser platform, enabled by Lyocon’s advanced manufacturing and engineering capabilities, together with the Orbit operational-resilience system and Tekne’s defense-mobility suite.

Financing Structure and Additional Capital Upside

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, in exchange for a capital infusion of $23,25 m, NUBURU will issue a $25.0 m unsecured debenture, together with four series of warrants with exercise prices of $0.01 (for 80 m shares), $0.25 (for 100 m shares), $0.375 (25 m shares), and $0.47 per share (25 m shares), respectively. The debenture will bear 8% annual interest, begin monthly amortization in March 2026, and mature in December 2026, subject to extension at the holder’s option.

If all warrants are exercised for cash, NUBURU may receive up to approximately $46.9 m in additional gross proceeds, providing potential incremental liquidity to support future strategic and growth initiatives. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis until such time as the underlying shares have been registered for resale with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Full details of the transaction will be disclosed in a Form 8-K to be filed within the applicable reporting period.

Leadership Commentary

Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman and Co-CEO of NUBURU, stated:

“This financing represents a pivotal execution milestone for NUBURU. We have the capital we need to continue our acquisition roadmap, honor our strategic commitments, and accelerate the integration of laser, photonics, software, mobility, and UAV capabilities into a unified Defense & Security platform.”

Dario Barisoni, Co-CEO of NUBURU and CEO of Nuburu Defense, added:

“Entering 2026 with this strengthened capital position allows us to scale with speed and precision across multiple defense domains. Our strategy is intentionally integrated — software informing hardware, photonics enhancing mobility and UAV platforms. This financing ensures we can execute without delay.”

12 Dec 2025. Filtronic PLC (“Filtronic” or “the Company”) Half year trading update. Major strategic progress, growing pipeline and order book, and confidence in full-year expectations. Filtronic plc (AIM: FTC), the designer and manufacturer of advanced RF solutions for the space, aerospace and defence, and telecoms infrastructure markets, provides the following trading update for the six months ended 30 November 2025 (H1 FY2026). The first half of the year saw major strategic progress, including the award of Filtronic’s largest-ever contract with SpaceX, for its next-generation E-band GaN product. This contract also marks the first significant commercial deployment of this technology, for which Filtronic sees significant future commercial opportunity across the wider space market. Meanwhile, Filtronic continues to expand its customer base, securing a €7m (£5.8m) multi-year contract with a leading European aerospace manufacturer, to supply RF assemblies for integration into a major Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation programme, and a £13.4 m contract with a leading European defence prime, underscoring the Company’s strengthening position in a sector where the need for secure, resilient RF solutions continues to increase. This momentum is strengthening the Company’s overall customer mix, supporting a broader pipeline of opportunities and extending the long-term visibility of the Group’s customer order book. Innovation remains central to Filtronic’s long-term growth strategy. The Company’s roadmap for market leading high-frequency GaN products is advancing well, with launches planned for calendar year 2026 to address emerging opportunities in space ground systems, and the recent award of £1.2m funding to support development of a 550W Ka-Band solid-state power amplifier, reinforces the Company’s intent to capitalise on the significant opportunity emerging in the global space ecosystem. The Group ended H1 FY2026 in a strong financial position with £10.5m of cash at bank (31 May 2025: £14.5m), having self-financed the capital project to relocate to the larger headquarters and manufacturing site at Sedgefield, and £8.5 m in net cash when excluding right of use property leases (31 May 2025: £12.3m), providing a solid foundation for further investment and strategic growth. Filtronic enters the second half with a robust order book, strong customer engagement and growing pipeline, providing the Board with confidence in a strong H2 and a full-year performance in line with market expectations1. Nat Edington, Chief Executive Officer, said: “Demand for high-frequency, secure and resilient communications continue to strengthen across our core space, aerospace and defence markets, creating long-term structural drivers for Filtronic. The first half saw us make significant strategic progress, including landmark contract wins and continued advances in our technology roadmap. With strong commercial momentum, a robust order book and an organisation scaling effectively to meet a growing pipeline of opportunities, we remain confident in delivering against market expectations for the full year.”  1 As at 11 December 2025, the Board understands that market expectations for FY2026, based on published analyst forecasts, are for revenue of £55.5m, within a range of £54m to £56.9m and EBITDA of £10.9m, within a range of £10.1m to £12.0m.

 

10 Dec 25.  SpaceX Targeting $1.5trn Valuation Ahead of Potential 2026 IPO. SpaceX is reportedly eyeing an internal valuation target of $1.5trn, a figure that nearly doubles recent estimates, as the company positions itself for a potential initial public offering (IPO) in 2026. According to reporting from Bloomberg and Bitget, sources familiar with the company’s internal discussions indicated the new target on December 9. This represents a rapid escalation from valuation figures discussed just days prior. On December 6, reports suggested a valuation of approximately $800 bn, which itself was a significant increase over previous tender offer valuations.

Valuation Targets Escalate

The $1.5trn figure places SpaceX in a tier of market capitalization historically reserved for established tech giants rather than aerospace entities. For context, the company’s recent secondary market tender offers have valued the launch and satellite provider in the range of $255bn to $350bn. The shift in internal targets suggests the company is moving beyond pricing based on current launch revenue and is instead modeling future cash flows based on mass adoption of its satellite internet service and heavy lift capabilities.

Starlink and Spectrum Assets Drive Growth

The aggressive valuation target is reportedly driven by two primary factors: the continued dominance of the Starlink low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation and the strategic acquisition of spectrum assets. Starlink has achieved operational scale, serving ms of global subscribers and securing major contracts in the maritime and aviation sectors. Furthermore, the company’s recent moves regarding spectrum—specifically involving assets from EchoStar—are viewed as critical for expanding capacity and creating a defensible moat against emerging competitors in the direct-to-device (D2D) market.

IPO Outlook

While SpaceX has historically remained private to avoid the quarterly pressures of public markets, the maturity of the Starlink business unit has fueled speculation of a spinoff or public listing. A 2026 timeline aligns with previous executive comments regarding the need for predictable cash flow before taking Starlink public. It remains unclear whether the $1.5 trillion target applies to a specific Starlink spinoff or the SpaceX parent entity as a whole, though the scale suggests an aggregate valuation of the entire enterprise, including the Starship launch system.
