Why Axon Enterprise Stock Is Soaring Today

Axon Enterprise Inc AXON shares are trading higher Wednesday after the company reported better-than-expected financial results and raised guidance.

Axon said second-quarter revenue increased 31% year-over-year to $285.61 million, which beat the estimate of $258.96 million, according to Benzinga Pro.

Axon reported quarterly earnings of 44 cents per share, which beat the estimate of 39 cents per share.

"Customers are increasingly demonstrating their confidence that we are the right technology partner for them, for the next decade," the company said in a letter to shareholders.
