風險因素High valuation bubble, policy/budget changes, and whether new products succeed or not.

✅ Strategy Tips

Long-Term Investors

AXON is a strong growth stock with AI and product synergy. If you’re okay with short-term dips, it’s worth holding long term.

Short-Term Traders

Look to buy on dips near breakout zones ($580–630). Set clear stop-loss and take-profit levels.

Hedging Ideas

Since valuation is high, balance your portfolio with safer assets like Treasury ETFs (e.g., TLT).

Watch Analyst Updates

12-month price target is around $676. If analysts raise targets again, price might keep climbing.

Bottom Line

AXON is in a high-growth phase: solid Q1, strong AI products, and raised forecasts. But it’s also pricey. If you believe in its long-term story, consider a moderate position, just don’t forget to manage risk, maybe with something like bonds for balance.
