Axon Enterprise (AXON) shares fell 9% after Q3 earnings missed expectations due to tariff headwinds, causing a margin decline to 62.7%. While revenue grew 31% to $711 million, driven by a 24% increase in connected devices revenue, the company reported a net loss.

Axon also announced the acquisition of Carbyne for $625 million, aiming to enhance emergency response systems with cloud and AI.
