- ZMan2: Defense stock $KTOS is up 8% HOD.
- Docoof: $KTOS BIG breakout.
- champ: @Docoof $KTOS...at $15.30, up 11%.......the Move was off of News... from their Space & Missile Defense division.......
- CdrJake: @Docoof $KTOS Kratos Defense & Security Solutions is trading higher on the Nasdaq Wednesday, following news the company completed a successful static test of the Zeus 1 solid rocket motor. The test was conducted at an Aerojet Rocketdyne facility in Camden, Ark. At 12:30 p.m. ET, the company's stock was trading 11.2% higher, at $15.28. Volume at the time topped 1.7 million shares, above the stock's 65-day average volume of 751,569 shares. Kratos said the Zeus 1 is the first of two high-performance 32.5-inch diameter solid rocket motors which were internally developed and funded under the Kratos Zeus Program. The Zeus 2 motor is scheduled for static test later this year.
- CdrJake: $KTOS Exercised my June 16 KTOS 12.5 calls instead of taking small 10% profit, as this has been on a slow break out of handle from cup, with 3 successive higher highs, and higher lows after the move above the down trend line on 3/12. I measured a move to 16-18 range, the calls just expired too early. Pop is welcome today.
- Docoof: @CdrJake $KTOS Very good and instructive post. (3/12 should be 3/13.) Very helpful—Thanks for posting how you viewed the trade.
- Docoof: @CdrJake $KTOS I was looking at it on the weekly, but now I think I may not have understood it. The week starting on 3/13?
- Carver: @CdrJake $KTOS thanks for the analysis on $KTOS. I got in on May 24th. I appreciate your thoughts on upper range. I had forgot about depth of the cup.
- sgiseller: @scottrades $KTOS Stopped out? did 3 bad days in a row break the upward trend?
- scottrades: @sgiseller $KTOS Oh yes, sorry I posted a few days ago, I sold it because it was moving too slow.
-
scottrades: ...
$KTOS Slow mover, but trending up.
That’s what’s on my mind today.
I’m currently long $RMBS $RIOT and $MSTR.
Let’s have a great day!
Scott
- scottrades: Good morning Team! $SPY is opening up around the 420 range which is a pretty notable level for anyone who is looking to sell or short this market. I mentioned to Dan last night that isn't also a pretty obvious level so I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a few tries and the short get squeezed, Dan said that could cause a bit of a chase of prices higher. So pretty important to pay attention if you're trading in and out of positions. It's also monthly OPEX day and that could force some re-balancing. If you've been in the market and active this week you should have some cushions built up or have been making some sales into strength to lock in some gains and take the pressure off your account. Currently long: $RMBS $KTOS $RIOT (small) and $ON
- scottrades: Moving up stop on $KTOS to LOD.

- Docoof: $KTOS (Press Release) Today, Kratos has multiple self-driving trucks deployed on the road across the United States supporting new deployment use cases and territories. Kratos deploys self-driving trucks to solve real-world workforce and safety issues of today burdening critical Transportation and Supply Chain operations. $KTOS is second biggest holding in $ARKQ and the third biggest in $ARKX. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/05/08/2663256/0/en/Kratos-Defense-Self-Driving-Trucks-are-on-the-Road-Across-the-United-States-Increasing-Worker-Safety-and-Addressing-Workforce-Shortfalls.html

- Docoof: $KTOS Reported after the close yesterday and today opened down, but reversed hard off the lod. Watching to see if it can break out of a base/range above ~13.60 - 13.70. Volume is almost 2x the daily avg.

- champ: @CdrJake $ATRO $TXT $KTOS #Astronics-Corp #Business-Summary #Assaul....Yes sir....and Now things will be changing....with these New contracts, this is about #New-contracts Cdr ......this could turn out to be what Entry timing looks like.......Hope-Trade......nice possible risk reward...... ....and I'm not in any hurry...I have time and fire-power. LOL
- CdrJake: @champ $ATRO $TXT #Astronics-Corp #Business-Summary #Assault $ATRO Slow mover indeed, cause all they do is report loss after loss. Doesnt seem to be the kind of management that cares about making a profit. . Projected losses as well. Just because ...
- CdrJake: @champ $ATRO $TXT $KTOS #Astronics-Corp #Business-Summary Understood... Me too. Been long on KTOS for a while.. Lower highs,, lower lows, trying to base. There's the company. then there's the STOCK chart of the company, the story has to attract the deep pockets.
- champ: @CdrJake $ATRO $TXT $KTOS #Astronics-Corp #Business-Summary #Assault....they are also working with Lilium N.V. (LILM) to build the Lilium Jet's electoral power distribution system....they were selected for that contract also.....
- champ: @CdrJake $ATRO $TXT $KTOS #Astronics-Corp #Business-Summary #Assault.......they are also now working on.......Radio Test Sets...referred to as TS-4549T...U.S. Army.....and this new program will replace the GRM-122 radio test equip for tactical radio in the U.S. Army...it will be an ID/IQ program...with deliverables over multiple years....
- champ: @CdrJake $ATRO $TXT $KTOS #Astronics-Corp #Business-Summary....Yes sir...I hear you.....and I'm in with a starter....only 600 shares....and if needed, I'm pulling #safety-Trailers....
- joelsg1: @Cheezit $avav Was in this earlier for the Switchblade excitement at start of war, really thin with only 25M shares out and low float. As I recall from last E call, problem getting chips, which may now be easing. Consolidating within downtrend, but in the pocket between moving avgs. Daily and weekly look the same, looks like a coin flip, Cathie Wood has been buying larger drone competitor $KTOS, FWIW.
- CdrJake: $KTOS just bounced off 50 dma., sort of a repeat Phase 2 after a couple Phase 1 breakouts & Phase 2 corrections. Next upper target 200 dma which it failed at on 4/5. Volumes seem like buyers havent been interested, since the high volume reversal on 2/24.
- CdrJake: $AVAV $KTOS I am long both from lower levels. AVAV momentum stock, but KTOS is not. Yet. But should happen. KTOS makes a mothership for Switchblade deliveries, which can extend range, carry multiples. Working together. KTOS doesnt talk about it much ...
- Pokersmith: 50 day visit and bounce ...see $KTOS 🎳...see also $AVAV
- Pokersmith: #Drones, people....THINK about it....Drones ! see $AVAV & $KTOS
- snowbound: @Pokersmith $AVAV $KTOS #Drones If we can see $KTOS tighten up under the 200SMAd or hold above I'm game ... hot pink - fuscia is the 50SMA WEEKLY overhead which appears to have turned back the DAILY BO .
- Pokersmith: @snowbound $AVAV $KTOS #Drones Retest of the recently surpassed trendline...
- snowbound: @Pokersmith $AVAV $KTOS #Drones OK , gottit , thanks
- Pokersmith: Will do battle with the 200 day today ? see: $KTOS Two key levels : 21.65 and 21.95
- Pokersmith: #Drones U.S. to send drones with anti-armor warhead to Ukraine- Pentagon chief April 5 (Reuters) - The United States will send a variant of the Switchblade drone that has an anti-armor warhead to Ukraine as quickly as possible, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Tuesday. "The Switchblade 600 and 300 will move as quickly as they possibly can," Austin said during a House Armed Services Committee hearing. The 600 variant has the anti-armor warhead and can loiter over a target for more than 40 minutes. See $AVAV 🎳 ( Pin action ) see: $KTOS
- Pokersmith: Making a move above the flag...see $KTOS ( think drones )
- Pokersmith: @joelsg1 @DrScience Checkout the volume on the Apr 14 22.5 $KTOS calls ! Whatcha think?
- joelsg1: @Pokersmith $KTOS Saw that highlighted on Schwab Edge. Still in the 4/14 $20s, defense bill impact? Though also in $AVAV whose drones are Much cheaper, and wait for the videos of the Switchblade 600s destroying Russian armor/artillery.
- DrScience: @Pokersmith $KTOS Some of that volume was me selling APR 14 20/22.50 BuCS bought last week. With the stock testing the 200 DMA from below, I'm not sure the stock can move much higher without some consolidation. But, I've been wrong before. You might look at MAY 25/APR 27.50 Diagonal Call Spread @ .65 to see if the stock can chew through the IWMMB crowd before earnings at the first part of May.
- Pokersmith: @DrScience $KTOS yeah thx...true ,the 200 day looms above
- Pokersmith: @joelsg1 $KTOS $AVAV watching $AVAV closely. 👍 looking for an opportunity
- snowbound: $KTOS DAILY FIB Retracements .... the 200SMA DAILY pivot could leverage the move higher through 38.2 % which is also ~ DAILY VWAP . ~ 22.20 area is 50SMA WEEKLY shown on DAILY chart in fuscia overhead ...
- bRobert: @snowbound $KTOS $24 - $28 targets with a move > 50w ceiling SPEED BUMP NOW $40+ long term potential as the reversal base expands
- joelsg1: $KTOS Opened May $22.50 calls.
- Pokersmith: @joelsg1 $KTOS closed above its 200 sma 👍
- Pokersmith: Closed comfortably above its 150 sma, where it has been repelled previously. Knocking on the 21 handle with speedbump @ 21.60, 21.95 and 22.44 respectively. see $KTOS #Drones
- bRobert: @Pokersmith $KTOS #Drones WEEKLY set up $25 - $30+ HIGHER potential long term ($40 ) Back on the sunny side Sideways consolidation for 3 years can be unleashed daily C&H LIKE or Inv h&S $24 - $26 - 50W speed bump ceiling Get above that and open the door to the highs
- Pokersmith: @bRobert $KTOS #Drones my sentiments exactly 👍 ...thx
- Pokersmith: @Pokersmith $KTOS #Drones 21 handle attained...
- Pokersmith: Constructive move so far...small flag pivot triggered making a 2 week + high. Take note of the higher volume on up days. In the Defense and security group. ( Drones etc ) Caveat: still below 200 sma BUT approaching from below with 50 sma starting to curl up. See $KTOS
- joemaurno: $KTOS Not a bad chart at all but considering the unrest in Russia and Ukraine, a defense company like Kratos seems likely to pop. I'm a buyer today.
- Pokersmith: @joemaurno $KTOS see earlier posts 👍
- joemaurno: @Pokersmith $KTOS Thanks!

- joelsg1: @Pokersmith $KTOS $AVAV drones too small (was in last week then out), $BA too large, $KTOS just about right and they're working on reusable, though Cathie Wood owns. Long.
- Pokersmith: @joelsg1 $KTOS $AVAV $BA really ? hmmm, she may be smarter than I thought 🤔 lol
