Safe Pro Group (NASDAQ: SPAI) is positioned for a strong inflection in revenue growth as its collaboration with Red Cat Holdings ramps through 2026 and into 2027, according to Lake Street Capital Markets. In an institutional equity research report dated Jan. 5, 2026, analyst Max Michaelis reiterated a Buy rating and a $9 price target, citing growing investor recognition of opportunities both in Ukraine and across broader defense and commercial markets.
Michaelis highlighted Safe Pro’s positioning in the Ukrainian landmine detection market, estimating a total revenue opportunity of approximately $2.5 billion based on roughly 14 million hectares of mined land and an estimated $175 per hectare pricing model. The company’s patented AI platform, capable of detecting more than 150 types of explosive threats from drone imagery, is viewed as significantly faster and safer than manual demining methods and could translate into large-scale contracts through partnerships with the Ukrainian government, the United Nations Development Program, and Norwegian People’s Aid.
The report also underscores the strategic collaboration with Red Cat to integrate Safe Pro’s AI into drone platforms used in U.S. Army programs, which Michaelis estimates could represent a $130 million to $175 million revenue opportunity, with further upside as drone adoption scales. In addition, Lake Street expects margin expansion as revenue shifts toward higher-margin AI software and cloud-based services, projecting consolidated gross margin of 57.5% in 2026 and 70% in 2027, with AEBITDA breakeven anticipated in 2027, according to Michaelis, Senior Research Analyst at Lake Street Capital Markets.
