Giggity! Drone Maker AeroVironment Takes a Dive... But Will It Bounce Back?

Show Me the Money (and the Drones!)

Well hello there! It's your pal Glenn Quagmire reporting live from the thrilling world of… finance! Apparently AeroVironment the company that makes those nifty drones we see buzzing around (perfect for uh surveying… my neighbor's pool) is planning to offer $750 million in common stock. And *then* they're gonna snag another $600 million with convertible senior notes due in 2030. Giggity! Sounds like someone's ready to party... or you know build more drones. Probably drones.

Paying the Piper (and Maybe a Few Other Ladies)

So what's all this dough for? Well first they gotta pay off some debts. You know the usual. Keeping the IRS away from the door keeping all those hot secretaries Giggity! The rest? Well they say it's for 'general purposes,' like boosting manufacturing capacity. Translation: More drones more spying… I mean 'observing.' And hopefully they will give me free drones as well Quagmire likes it.

From Zero to Hero (and Back Again?)

Now here's the kicker. AeroVironment's stock has been on a wild ride soaring 85% this year! That's like more action than a night out with the Quahog housewives! Last week was especially crazy thanks to some strong earnings reports and CNBC's Jim Cramer calling them the 'next Palantir of hardware.' That's high praise folks! High praise...almost as high as Peter Griffin on cheap beer. Giggity!

Blue Halo Meet AeroVironment (Prepare to Get Lucky!)

But wait there's more! AeroVironment also just closed a $4.1 billion acquisition of Blue Halo a space related defense tech company. Space tech eh? Sounds like they're planning to go where no man has gone before… or at least where no drone has gone before. Perhaps they will find some ladies there because that is what Quagmire is all about!

Trump Card (or Drone Boosting Executive Order)

And just when you thought it couldn't get any hotter President Trump (remember him?) signed an executive order to boost drone production in the U.S. and crack down on unauthorized uses. That's right folks more drones for everyone! Except for those unauthorized users… you know who you are! And you need to cut that out because drones are the best way to spy on hot babes. Giggity.

Short Squeeze: Ouch! (for the Haters)

Finally there's the whole 'short interest' thing. Apparently a lot of people were betting against AeroVironment and when the stock price went up they had to cover their positions. That's called a 'short squeeze,' and it's like getting caught with your pants down at a family reunion. Awkward! But for us AeroVironment fans? It's 'Alright!'
