“Drone stocks leapt onto the list of the most popular buys on Robinhood UK in January, as the AI infrastructure theme broadened out and interest in hydrogen fuel systems jumped too,” said Dan Lane, Investment Content Lead at Robinhood UK.
“Move over MARA. The crypto miner turned AI infrastructure firm was leapfrogged on the list of the most popular buys on Robinhood UK in January by two newcomers, Ondas and Plug Power. Ondas is one of two drone manufacturers to rise up the ranks after the US announced its plans to ban the sale of drones made outside the country. The other maker to appear on January’s list, Red Cat, produces drones for the US military – despite the attention, though, both manufacturers are yet to turn a profit.
“A mixed month for hydrogen power specialist, Plug Power, included a share price pop on the back of an announcement that Walmart would cancel some of its existing warrants (which would have diluted PLUG shares). The flipside came later in the month, as the company announced its own proposal to double its share count – effectively putting dilution back on the table.”
