Axon Enterprise (AXON) says its business is being “supercharged by AI.” Investors are supercharging its stock Wednesday.

Shares of the Taser maker were up nearly 20% in recent trading, making it the best-performing stock in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Wednesday afternoon, a day after a stronger-than-expected earnings report.

Axon posted fiscal fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.15 per share on net sales that increased 39% year-over-year to $796.7 million. Both figures topped analysts’ estimates compiled by Visible Alpha, with executives touting a boost from AI.

Why This Matters

Axon’s stock gains Wednesday suggest investors are willing to reward firms that can show strong growth from embedding AI in products and workflows.

“Axon can be the provider of the world’s largest, global sensor network, fully connected and supercharged by AI,” founder and CEO Patrick Smith said on the earnings call, according to a transcript provided by AlphaSense. “We will power the most intelligent, connected safety devices globally. We will connect those sensor devices across the full lifecycle of how they’re used, and we’ll build AI into every workflow, safely, securely, and reliably.”

For fiscal 2026, Axon sees revenue growth of 27% to 30%, also above estimates.
