On September 8, Unusual Machines Inc rose 8.12% in regular trading, trading at $25.72/share, with turnover of $39.60 million. The rally comes as the US government officially began imposing tariffs of up to 100% on imported drones and core components, a measure stemming from a presidential executive order signed in August.

Under the new tariff framework, drones exceeding 25 kilograms in takeoff weight or equipped with thermal imaging and docking stations face a 100% ad valorem tariff, while smaller drones are subject to a 25% rate. Certain drone parts and accessories will also be taxed starting February 9 next year. The policy is designed to reduce US reliance on foreign-made drones and stimulate domestic production.

Adding to the positive momentum, the company recently signed a partnership with trade network platform Altana to leverage AI tools for supplier verification and product line tracking to meet US regulatory requirements, aiming to reduce manual work and cut qualification timelines. Earlier, Piper Sandler initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and a $38 price target, while HC Wainwright set a Buy rating with a $42 target. The company also reported Q2 revenue of $16.72 million, significantly beating the $9.20 million estimate.
