DroneShield Joins the S&P/ASX200 Index
8 September 2025 – Sydney, Australia – DroneShield is pleased to announce its inclusion in the S&P/ASX 200 Index, effective prior to market open on 22 September 2025.
This milestone marks DroneShield’s continued rise as a global defence technology leader. The inclusion into the ASX 200 - Australia’s premier institutional benchmark - follows the Company’s entry into other leading indices alongside global defence primes, including the Mirae Asset Global X Defence Tech Index, the Global X Defence Tech ETF, the MSCI Global Small Cap Asia Pacific Australia Index, the All Ords, and the S&P/ASX 300 Index, underscoring a strong trajectory of recognition and investor confidence.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index represents approximately 89% of the Australian equity market by market capitalisation (as of 31 August 2025) and serves as the primary benchmark for domestic and global institutional investors. With deep liquidity, the index is widely regarded as the definitive barometer of the Australian economy and equity market performance.

We believe this milestone will further enhance our visibility with institutional domestic and overseas investors and strengthen our platform for continued growth.”
Last month, DroneShield reported a record 1H2025 revenue of $72.3m (up 210% vs. 1H2024), record 1H2025 Profit Before Tax of $5.2m, with a significant pipeline worth $2.33bn (up 112% vs. H1 FY24) and a cash balance of $208m (at 15 August 2025) which provides flexibility and supports ongoing investment.
