Electro Optic Systems (ASX:EOS), the counter-drone and space technology company, has been a strong performer as defence spending rises. In June 2026, Blackwattle Investment Partners said its overweight position in EOS was a significant contributor over the year, driven by contract announcements. Katana noted an extraordinary December, with three large contracts worth up to US$80 million, US$21 million and US$33 million, and said the contract cycle is accelerating, though profit taking followed a record high of $11.20 in January. EOS operates in the Industrials sector within the Aerospace and Defense industry, and Thesis Tracker has captured 15 comments from 5 fund managers, including Blackwattle and Katana. Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Canberra, Electro Optic Systems develops remote weapon systems, counter-drone systems including high-energy laser weapons, and space domain awareness and satellite communications technology for defence customers globally.
