Merlin Labs (MRLN) Reiterated at Overweight by Cantor Fitzgerald on Defense Programs

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 07:57:19 -0400

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Andres Sheppard reiterated an Overweight rating and $11.00 price target on Merlin Labs (NASDAQ: MRLN).

The analyst commented, "MRLN recently became the first company to receive an approved certification basis from the CAANZ (in a joint project with the FAA) for its autonomous flight system. As such, we believe Merlin is a first mover in pursuing certifiable, takeoff-to-touchdown autonomy for both legacy and next-generation aircraft. Additionally, we believe Merlin’s commercialization path is de-risked by its defense programs (led by a 5-year, $105M USSOCOM contract) that should provide funding and validation ahead of a broader commercial rollout. Finally, Merlin’s

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Andres Sheppard initiates coverage on Merlin Labs (NASDAQ: MRLN) with a Overweight rating, PT $11.00.

Its "Merlin Pilot," is an aircraft agnostic, AI-powered autonomous flight system for both military and civil programs. We believe MRLN benefits from a first-mover advantage, military contracts that de-risk the certification path, and a large TAM opportunity supplemented by a pilot shortage."
