Axon Enterprise Inc. (ISIN US05464C1018) stock was trading near USD 453.00 on Nasdaq as of September 18, 2026, following a volatile week driven by a USD 1.0 billion zero percent convertible senior notes offering due 2031 and a stronger revenue outlook for fiscal 2026.
Convertible notes drive recent price volatility
According to Benzinga on September 18, 2026, Axon Enterprise priced a USD 1.0 billion offering of 0 percent convertible senior notes due 2031, with settlement scheduled for September 18, 2026, and an initial conversion price of about USD 652.06 per share, which contributed to a sell-off earlier in the week as investors assessed potential dilution.
As Ad-hoc-news summarized on September 18, 2026, Axon Enterprise is raising USD 1.0 billion via zero percent convertible senior notes due 2031, with expected gross proceeds of roughly USD 988.5 million before expenses, giving the company additional financial flexibility to invest in growth.
Q2 2026 results and upgraded guidance support growth story
In its most recent quarterly update for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Axon Enterprise delivered revenue of USD 904 million, representing a 35 percent year-over-year increase compared with the same quarter of the prior year, according to Ad-hoc-news, citing data from Scanx Trade for Q2 2026.
In the same Q2 2026 communication, the company raised its full-year 2026 revenue growth guidance to a range of 32 to 34 percent, up from a previously lower outlook, highlighting continued strong bookings in international and federal markets and signaling management confidence in demand for its public safety technology solutions, as reported by Ad-hoc-news.
For investors, the combination of a 35 percent year-over-year revenue increase to USD 904 million in Q2 2026 and a raised revenue growth guidance of 32 to 34 percent for fiscal 2026 provides a quantified picture of Axon Enterprise as a growth-focused company, even as the convertible notes introduce potential future equity dilution.
