Drone stocks are bleeding out on a day with zero company-specific news, raising a question that cuts to the heart of the sector: do record backlogs and billion-dollar bookings matter when risk-off flows decide to sell first and ask questions later?

The West Palm Beach, Fla.,-based provider of artificial intelligence-powered autonomous drone systems posted second-quarter revenue of $83.77 million, increasing 1,236% from $6.27 million a year ago and above Wall Street’s call for $68 million.
