Based in New South Wales, Australia, Droneshield specializes in radio frequency sensing, artificial intelligence (AI), and electronic warfare.

Anticipated Growth

The drone defense firm supplies AI-powered anti-drone technology to governments, militaries, law enforcement, VIPs, and various entities. Since January 1st, 2025, DRO's stock has climbed an impressive 132%, with an even more substantial 1,475% increase from its 2020 low, trading at $1.34 AUD (approximately $0.87) as of writing.

This investment follows a trend set by other major institutions such as Vanguard, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, and State Street that have also acquired large positions in DRO.

JPMorgan's Leadership Shuffle

While expanding its portfolio, JPMorgan's CEO, Jamie Dimon, has been offloading his shares in the bank itself since February 2024. In April 2025, Dimon sold 133,639 shares worth approximately $31.50 million, and earlier in February, he sold 866,361 shares totaling around $233.78 million when the stock was trading close to all-time high levels.
