Winston Score History

The full picture

Draganfly Inc. is a Canadian drone company that designs and sells unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and related software. Its products include drones used for agriculture, public safety, emergency response, and infrastructure inspection. The company is one of the oldest commercial drone makers in North America, having started in the late 1990s.

Draganfly makes money by selling drone hardware, software platforms, and services to government agencies, first responders, and commercial customers. It operates primarily in Canada and the United States, with some international activity. The company is very small, with a market cap around $100 million, and it faces intense competition from much larger drone makers, including DJI from China. Its operating margin is deeply negative, meaning it spends far more than it earns, which is the central risk — the company must grow revenue significantly or cut costs to reach profitability before it runs out of financial runway.

Strong grower

Draganfly is growing revenue at 26% year-over-year. The Winston Score penalises unprofitable companies, but revenue at this pace tells a different story — this is a company still in "build mode."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
