Why AeroVironment (AVAV) Stock Is Falling Today
Shares of aerospace and defense company AeroVironment (NASDAQ:AVAV) fell 10.6% in the afternoon session after the company's third-quarter earnings badly missed Wall Street expectations and it lowered its full-year profit forecast. While the company reported strong revenue of $472.5 million, a 151% jump year on year, its profits fell significantly short. AeroVironment posted adjusted earnings of $0.44 per share, missing the analysts' consensus forecast of $0.79. Profitability was a key issue, as the company's operating margin fell to negative 6.4% from 3.7% in the same quarter last year. Adding to investor concerns, management lowered its full-year adjusted earnings guidance to a midpoint of $3.47 per share, a 4.8% decrease. The combination of a substantial earnings miss and a reduced outlook overshadowed the robust sales growth.
Why Redwire (RDW) Stock Is Trading Lower Today
Shares of aerospace and defense company Redwire (NYSE:RDW) fell 1.3% in the afternoon session after Cantor Fitzgerald significantly lowered its price target on the company's stock by 55%. The analyst firm reduced its target to $9.00 from a previous $20.00. Despite the substantial cut, Cantor Fitzgerald maintained its "Overweight" rating on the aerospace company's stock.

Why Artisan Partners (APAM) Stock Is Trading Lower Today
Shares of asset management firm Artisan Partners (NYSE:APAM) fell 3.9% in the afternoon session after the company disclosed that a large institutional client pulled $2.7 billion from its funds in early December. The asset manager announced the major redemption as part of its preliminary assets under management (AUM) report for November 2025. The report also noted other outflows, including approximately $800 million in fund distributions that were not reinvested in November, with another $400 million expected in December. For an asset management firm like Artisan Partners, AUM is a critical measure of health, as its fees are based on the total assets it manages. Significant redemptions and outflows can signal challenges in keeping clients and may lead to a drop in future revenue.
