The weapons company of the future that is not traded on the stock market 🤫
⭐️ Anduril | ANDURIL INDUSTRIES ⭐️
"When the future of war is written in silicon – not in bullets" 🤖
In a world where the battlefield is becoming digital, artificial intelligence and smart drones are changing the rules of the game. 🚁
While everyone talks about Palantir ($PLTR) as a pioneer in military technology, Anduril is growing under the radar – a revolutionary weapons company that produces the brain, eyes, and muscles of the future American military. 🛡
And here's the catch: it's not traded on the stock market – but there's a smart way to gain exposure to it. 💡
Who is behind the company?
Palmer Luckey – the prodigy behind Oculus VR, which was sold to Facebook for $2 billion. 👑
Luckey left the gaming world for a more pressing goal: to restore the United States' technological advantage on the battlefield. 🩸
Thus Anduril Industries was founded in 2017 – named after Aragorn's legendary sword from The Lord of the Rings. ⚔️
The hint is clear: heroes' weapons in the war for the future of freedom. ⚔️
What does the company actually do?
Anduril does not produce rifles – but rather sensors, artificial intelligence, satellites, and smart operational control bases. 🔎
It specializes in the integration of AI + smart hardware – meaning: autonomous weapons that think, react, and even learn while operating. ⌨️
Here are some examples of Anduril's projects:
1️⃣ The Lattice OS – an operating system for the "battlefield" that unifies information from equipment, drones, cameras, and satellites in real-time. 2️⃣ And there's also Ghost – a smart military drone for penetrating hostile territories. 3️⃣ Another one of its projects is Sentry Towers – autonomous observation towers with smart AI-based vision. 4️⃣ And there's also Roadrunner – an autonomous interceptor missile that can be reused (!).
Among other things, the company specializes in smart radars and drone interception – a system already active in the United States and protecting places like power plants and more. 🤖
🇺🇸 Strategic partner of the US government 🇺🇸
Over the last decade, the Pentagon has been crying out for a digital revolution. Anduril answers the call. It has already won contracts from the US Department of Defense, Space Force, and DHS (Department of Homeland Security) borders. 💵
The vision? 🔮
To become the leading defense company of the 21st century – like a combination of Lockheed Martin and Palantir – a company that will integrate the best technology in the world into one giant military platform. 🥇
How is this done ❓
Anduril collaborates with companies at the forefront of the artificial intelligence revolution, including Palantir, OpenAI, and even Meta. 🔝
Anduril connects all the dots to push the United States' military technological capability to a different, more futuristic, autonomous, cheaper, and more precise place. 🏎
Comparison to Palantir – but focused on the battlefield itself 🚀
Palantir is the analytical heart of the IDF, the CIA, and the Pentagon. But Anduril goes a step further: while Palantir deciphers information, Anduril operates the field. It sees, decides, and acts – autonomously. ❄️
This is the next generation of smart warfare. No longer "weapon systems," but a living, breathing operational network. 🎲
What's happening at Anduril financially? ⚖️
Anduril has signed dozens of contracts with the US military and constantly presents new developments, such as expansion into space, developments in autonomous war vehicles, drone systems, cruise missiles, and more. 📈
The company also recently announced the establishment of an independent factory for the development and production of its technologies – which unifies its entire development and production apparatus under its own control ✔️
Since the company is private and not traded on the stock market, we have no information on revenue or profitability figures – what we do know is the company's last valuation from February, when the company raised funds at a valuation of approximately $30 billion – double the previous valuation. 📈
So how do you get exposure to it if it's a private company? 👀
🤫 Here the big secret is revealed: 🤫
Although Anduril is not traded on the stock market – there is one fund that does hold it:
The ETF of investment giant BlackRock - BlackRock Science and Technology Trust – $BST
This technology ETF/trust certificate holds approximately 3% of its portfolio in Anduril (through private investments). 📊
In other words, investing in $BST is perhaps a unique way to gain exposure to Anduril even before an IPO – along with exposure to other leading technology companies. 🏦
This ETF also holds other companies, including Nvidia, Broadcom, Oracle, Amazon, and Meta – the elite of the elite. 🎯
Important to note 👍
This is a fund that employs a passive income strategy 🪙
- It distributes an annual dividend of 8 percent, and the stock's return is commensurate. 🔖
Some might say this is a disadvantage – as it negatively impacts the stock's annual return ⚠️
It is also important to know that the daily trading volume is low – which can create a liquidity problem on days of aggressive selling, a factor that can affect the stock's volatility ⚠️
