3 Drone Companies to Invest in Today

Depending on whom you ask, drones went mainstream in 2015 -- or maybe it was 2013, or 2017. One thing is clear: Watching the local fireworks display this past July 4th, I counted no fewer than half a dozen drones hovering above the festivities, their LEDs glowing steadily among the explosions.

I'd say that's pretty "mainstream." If you've been holding off on investing in drones stocks to see if drone technology is a fad that will fade or a new fixture of daily life, well, that debate is over. Drones are here to stay -- and it's time for us to find some drone companies to invest in.

Which companies, precisely? For various reasons, I think you should give serious consideration to three drone stocks: AeroVironment (NASDAQ: AVAV), Boeing (NYSE: BA), and Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC).
