Unusual Machines will continue to surge as the U.S. deepens its domestic drone push, according to Roth Capital Partners. The investment firm initiated coverage of the drone components maker with a buy rating. It set a $25 price target on shares, implying 77% upside from Tuesday's close. "The U.S. drone components market benefits from strong regulatory support forcing the establishment of a domestic supply chain," analyst Craig Irwin said in a note. "As a diversified supplier and low-cost producer, UMAC is well positioned." U.S. President Donald Trump signed last year an executive order to accelerate domestic drone production and integrate the aerial vehicles into the National Airspace Program. The U.S. is also considering raising its defense budget to $1.5 trillion in fiscal 2027, potentially freeing up more funds for the federal government to strike more deals with drone manufacturers. As part of its domestic drone push, the U.S. is also restricting DJI drones, a type of unmanned aerial vehicle manufactured by Chinese company SZ DJI Technology, from entering the American market. The policy is likely to benefit stocks like Unusual Machines, according to Roth. "Regulatory exclusion of China-made drone parts uncovers a multi-billion-dollar market," Irwin wrote. "The first demand phase will come from drones for the [Department of Defense], then delivery drones, and consumer drones as DJI is specifically excluded from the U.S." Roth's call falls in line with consensus on the Street. All four of the analysts covering Unusual Machines have a buy rating on the stock, LSEG data shows. Shares have jumped 11% since the beginning of this year.

Anthropic Eyes $30B Raise At $900B Valuation As UBS Says Claude Is "Gaining Ground" AI is still where the money is flowing... A Bloomberg report late Tuesday revealed that Anthropic, the maker of Claude, is in early discussions with investors to raise at least $30 billion at an eye-popping valuation of nearly $900 billion. Clearly, this could become the largest funding round to date for founder Dario Amodei. The Claude maker is in discussions to raise the new capital at a valuation of more than $900 billion , not including the investment, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity as the information is private. The round is expected to close as soon as the end of this month, one person said. The deal is not finalized and no term sheet has been signed . -BBG Talks of a new funding round at a valuation above $900 billion follow Google's $10 billion investment at a $35 billion valuation earlier this year, with an additional $3 billion contingent on performance milestones. Amazon is also investing $5 billion at the same valuation, with plans to add $2 billion over time. Anthropic could be poised for an initial public offering as soon as October , according to a separate Bloomberg report. Earlier, the outlet reported that Anthropic has warned investors about unauthorized sellers of its shares on secondary marketplaces, calling them "stock scams," and that some sellers are issuing fraudulent share certificates. Anthropic specifically warned about new offerings from secondary platforms Hiive and Forge Global. Anthropic also named Sydecar, Open Door Partners, Lionheart Ventures, UpMarket, Unicorns Exchange, and Pachamama. Shifting to a new note from UBS about its latest semi-annual Enterprise AI survey , analyst Timothy Arcuri and his team surveyed IT executives at 139 companies about their AI initiatives. Arcuri found that "the survey continues to point to Microsoft, OpenAI, and Nvidia as the key enterprise AI winners, but with Anthropic gaining ground." Arcuri a...
