Winston Score History

The full picture

Parrot S.A. is a French technology company best known for making drones and related software. Its main products are small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used by professionals in fields like agriculture, defense, and mapping. Parrot has shifted away from consumer drones and now focuses almost entirely on professional and military customers, with its ANAFI drone line being its flagship product.

Parrot earns money by selling drone hardware and bundling it with software and data services. The company is headquartered in Paris and sells primarily in Europe and North America, though it remains a small player compared to DJI, the dominant global drone maker. Its main competitive edge is being a Western-made alternative to Chinese drones, which matters to governments and defense buyers who avoid Chinese suppliers — but the company is currently unprofitable, and turning that around depends on winning more defense and government contracts in a crowded market.
