Axon (NASDAQ: AXON) is set to report its first quarter 2023 financial results on May 9, 2023, following market closure.

Axon Enterprise secured a unanimous 9-0 decision from the U.S. Supreme Court, allowing its constitutional challenges against the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to proceed in federal court. This landmark ruling, issued on April 17, 2023, affirms the right to challenge the FTC’s structure and operations, which Axon claims are biased and unconstitutional. Axon has pursued this case since January 2020, arguing that the FTC combines investigatory, prosecutorial, and adjudicatory functions, which can lead to irreparable harm. The ruling is viewed as a win for due process and equal protection under the law, enabling Axon to continue its legal fight against perceived unconstitutional actions by the FTC, thereby reinforcing foundational rights for all citizens.

• Enhanced Image Quality: Improved sharper images, visibility, and a larger field of view.
• Streamlined Operations: Enhances management of body camera programs for agencies.

With a runtime exceeding 13 hours and quick-charging capabilities, Axon Body 4 is positioned as a vital tool for realtime situational awareness. The camera aims to meet the needs of law enforcement and is currently in trials, with purchasing expected to begin in late 2023.
