TLDR

    • Swarmer IPO’d at $5 on Monday, hit $61 by Thursday morning before pulling back to around $51
    • The stock is up roughly 1,000% from its IPO price as of Wednesday’s close
    • Over 34 million shares traded — more than 10 times the 3 million sold in the IPO
    • Wednesday’s close valued the company at ~$675 million, roughly 2,250x its 2025 sales of just over $300,000
    • The company lost over $8.5 million last year and has no Wall Street analysts covering it yet

Swarmer (SWMR) stock surged more than 1,000% in just two days after its IPO before pulling back sharply on Thursday, as retail investors piled into the drone software company founded in 2023 during the Ukraine conflict.

The company priced its IPO at $5 per share on Monday, raising $15 million. By Tuesday’s close, the stock was at $31 — a 520% jump on its first day of trading. Wednesday saw it climb further to $55.

On Thursday morning it touched $61 before sliding to around $50.75 by midday, a drop of about 7.7%. The broader market was also lower, with the S&P 500 down 0.4% and the Dow off 0.6%.

The volume numbers are striking. More than 34 million shares have changed hands — yet the company only sold 3 million shares in its IPO. That means the average IPO share has swapped hands more than 10 times over, a clear signal that short-term traders are driving the action.

At Wednesday’s closing price, Swarmer’s market cap sat at around $675 million. Its 2025 revenue was just over $300,000, putting the price-to-sales ratio at roughly 2,250. By any traditional measure, that’s an extreme valuation for a company at this stage.

What Swarmer Actually Does

Swarmer builds software that allows drones to operate even when GPS or other communications are disrupted. The platform is designed to work across different drone models, and the company has its roots in Ukraine, where it was founded in 2023 during an active war zone.

Its current order backlog stands at more than $30 million. The $15 million raised in the IPO is earmarked for growth, and with a cash burn of roughly $700,000 per month and a total cash balance of around $25 million, the company has some runway.

That said, it lost more than $8.5 million last year and faces competition from both large and small defense contractors that also offer drone operating software.

Who Is Buying?

The buying wave has been largely retail-driven. Ian Winer, founder and CEO of Center15 Capital, a growth-stage investor in private defense tech companies, noted the surge reflects individual investor interest in defense technology. But he was measured in his assessment.

Part of the move has also been fueled by short sellers getting squeezed. Traders who bet against the stock were forced to buy back their positions as the price surged, adding fuel to the rally.

There are currently no Wall Street analysts covering Swarmer, according to FactSet. Analyst coverage typically brings with it more detailed financial modeling and direct access to management, which helps institutional investors get comfortable.

For now, the stock has no formal price targets and no earnings estimates from the Street. Thursday morning, it hit $61 before retreating back below $52.

BlockDAG’s $0.0013 Entry Draws Market Attention Ahead of Deadline

BlockDAG’s $0.0013 Entry Draws Market Attention Ahead of Deadline

The post BlockDAG’s $0.0013 Entry Draws Market Attention Ahead of Deadline appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 20 September 2025 | 00:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s $0.0013 entry is making headlines with nearly $410M raised, 26.3B coins sold, and the limited-time entry closing on Oct 1st. Occasionally, a single figure captures attention across crypto. This time, it isn’t a projection or a chart setup; it is a presale entry point. The $0.0013 price lock from BlockDAG (BDAG) has become more than a presale detail. It represents a marker of timing, reliability, and measurable progress. With more than 26.3 billion coins sold and nearly $410 million already secured, this price is not a teaser. It is a structured offer that continues to attract participants in large numbers. Once October 1st passes, the $0.0013 entry will close, and its significance could be remembered as one of those rare early-stage milestones. The $0.0013 Window Reflects More Than a Temporary Offer Many presales are defined by uncertainty, often shifting timelines and unclear goals. By fixing its presale price at $0.0013 until October 1st, BlockDAG has created a point of clarity in a crowded market. It is less about a discount and more about a defined statement: the project is setting a clear cut-off for early access. This approach has shown results. Over 26.3 billion BDAG coins have already been purchased. That momentum stems from demonstrated progress, not just speculation. A live Testnet, close to 20,000 miners distributed, and more than 3 million daily users of the X1 mobile miner all point to activity happening now rather than deferred promises. On top of this, the return profile is notable. The current batch price is $0.03, while the $0.0013 entry remains open for a limited time. That gap means an ROI of about 2,900% compared with batch 1. Even so, the project is keeping the entry level steady until October 1st, providing…
