Summary
Defense industry: 1.8 billion dollars for drone manufacturer Helsing. Helsing has also been producing underwater reconnaissance drones since last year and is developing an unmanned fighter jet with the help of the aircraft manufacturer Grob Aircraft, which was acquired in 2025. “Neo Primes” are flourishing, but on the stock market the arms boom is over on the stock market the temporary boom of arms stocks has come to an end this year.
Furthermore, The French-German tank and gun manufacturer KNDS had recently postponed its planned IPO. “Neo Primes” are clearly still booming among investors. Helsing’s technological focus is not on drones, but on AI-based software that controls unmanned aircraft. According to Helsing, the financing round was severely oversubscribed – which means that the company could have raised even more money.
In addition, Helsing is no longer counting itself among the start-ups, but among the so-called “Neo Primes” – these are software-centric young companies that compete with the large established arms companies. The Rheinmetall price has halved since January, but is still many times higher than five years ago.
