https://www.tradingview.com/news/invezz:1c16f1da1094b:0-lase-stock-nearly-doubles-as-us-navy-shows-more-love/

Laser Photonics (LASE) shares ripped higher this morning (Jun. 3) on a major $13.2 million follow-on order from the US Navy.

The upward momentum drove LASE’s relative strength index (RSI) into the early 90s – indicating extremely “overbought” conditions that often attract profit-takers.

At its intraday peak, Laser Photonics stock was seen trading at more than 7x its price in early Feb.

Significance of Navy’s repeat order for Laser Photonics stock

LASE shares exploded higher on Wednesday primarily because of the announcement that the US Navy has expanded its adoption of the firm’s CleanTech laser blasting systems.

In its press release, management said the order is for handheld and robotic laser cleaning systems to be deployed across naval shipyards for corrosion control, paint removal, and hull maintenance.

Investors cheered the announcement primarily because it represents a significant sales validation for Laser Photonics.

As laser cleaning removes hazardous waste and toxic dust associated with traditional sandblasting, the Navy is fast-tracking the tech to meet stricter environmental compliance mandates.

Yes, Glenn, LASE has been much much higher in the last couple of years, so NO REASON to think it will not do the same again, esp with defensive laser weapons that can be used in many many other countries, in countless ways.

Shares of Laser Photonics Corp (LASE) surged over 150% during Tuesday’s afternoon session after its anti-drone system was selected for a U.S. defense evaluation process.

For LASE , it seems to me, any orders from any governments would make this a bad boy in the big leagues OR it will be bought out one way or another. And if LASE has reasonable costs, the sky is the limit. Plus right now LASE has a relatively small market cap for company in the defense industry.
I can now see a real need for laser protection of drone attacks almost everywhere. On all kinds of ships, on tanks, pipelines, military bases, public airports, at oil refineries, on buildings in cities, public utilities, you name it....

https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/laser-photonics-corporation-lase-one-215315568.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGYrlBqi89N3hct4AqaXuN8OCdOnpAqCp05Ske33amEpigusNDiV8wPeTT1emAbCspEw9kqUDwRNFIBJiWdFqnUeIL64B1_XE2_rZDkkWWQCSobUzElLuWL1TNuMIAMpLYo0tSkT-WiPvFVpDF9kgh-PCjlDKfzDYwbrGW5zerLC

LASE would be a great fit for a whole lot of military / defensive companies.....
small with a ton of high tech laser technology.................... BUYOUT candidate.....IMHO

Seems like if ever there was a buyout opportunity... LASE...might be one esp w only a 28 Mil market cap

These are results for "LASE"
what dollar amounts of sales for the jointly developed Laser Shield Anti-Drone System (LSAD) could the business acquire in the near term ?

Show original results
AI Overview
Based on the most recent updates as of May 2026, Laser Photonics Corporation (LASE) and Fonon Technologies are positioning the Laser Shield Anti-Drone System (LSAD) for a "transformative revenue opportunity," targeting a market expected to reach $8.5 billion by 2030.
While no specific, guaranteed dollar amount for the first LSAD contract has been finalized, the company has indicated the potential for significant near-term revenue through the following developments:

$100 Million+ Opportunity: The company has previously noted that, as a result of defense innovation selection, the joint initiative targets a government procurement opportunity of $100 million or more.

Prototyping & Testing Milestone: As of May 6, 2026, the company announced the LSAD system is advancing to the "system prototyping and extended range trials phase," moving away from R&D into a deliverable product stage.

Active Defense Partnerships: The companies are in discussions with defense contractors and military partners for integrating the LSAD into existing U.S. military and Allied infrastructure.

2025/2026 Revenue Momentum: The company reported a 144% increase in revenue for 2025 ($8.3 million) and a growing backlog of $2.5 million, providing financial stability as they push this new technology into the market.

The LSAD is designed to provide a low-cost, high-precision alternative to traditional missile defense systems, making it highly attractive for near-term military deployment.

If the cost is reasonable, this laser could be utilized today in many countries, and in countless ways, power plants, ( coal, gas, nuclear ), oil industry ( pipelines, refineries, storage tanks ), on army tanks, commercial and military ships, army recon vehicles, on office buildings, on water towers, bridges, this jointly developed Laser Shield Anti-Drone System (LSAD) could have countless defensive possibilities. Seems that globally, the terrorism threat could create tens of thousands of prospective prospects to use this technology.
