Over about 2 years to 2026-07-31. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.

Bumpier than the market

Prices move on results, news and the mood of the whole market - no single headline explains a day, and a quiet week is usually just noise, not a signal.

The bull case

Axon becomes the standard operating system for global law enforcement.

The bear case

Regulatory hurdles or legal challenges to their technology.

What does Axon Enterprise, Inc. do?

Axon has moved from just selling hardware like Tasers and body-worn cameras to providing a cloud-based software platform where police departments store and analyse their footage. Income comes from selling the devices upfront and then charging ongoing subscription fees for the software that keeps the data secure. A lot rides on how successfully they can move existing customers over to their more expensive, all-in-one software packages.
