Redwire shares sink as space stocks retreat

Redwire shares sink as space stocks retreat

Redwire shares dropped in late-morning trade Monday after Jefferies downgraded its rating on the space and defense tech company. The call pulled back a fast move up in smaller space stocks. Redwire shares fell 16.4% to $20.53 in recent trading after starting the session at $22.66. Volume topped 25.8 million shares. The space company’s market cap was around $4.0 billion.
Rocket Lab Stock Cools After Rally. Traders Eye Next Steps.

Rocket Lab Stock Cools After Rally. Traders Eye Next Steps.

Rocket Lab shares held their May gains coming into the week, though the move higher saw a setback. The stock dropped 3.1% Friday, giving up ground after a Blue Origin rocket test explosion raised some new nerves for space stocks. Rocket Lab closed at $143.48 on Nasdaq. That’s relevant with Rocket Lab, which has been acting like a favored space-infrastructure play in the market. Shares that rally hard can slide even on indirect news. Investors watching Rocket Lab have to weigh launch risk, valuation, and if the company might issue more stock ahead.
Redwire Shares Jump 40% in Four Days — Eyes on Monday

Redwire Shares Jump 40% in Four Days — Eyes on Monday

Redwire Corp is set to open Monday in New York after a volatile run last week, with traders looking to protect a 40.5% jump from the previous Friday. Shares of the space stock fell 5.14% on Friday, closing at $24.57. That’s still up from $17.49 at the May 22 close. Trading was choppy on a thin setup. The New York Stock Exchange shows Memorial Day, May 25, as a market holiday in 2026, and stocks trade there from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. That left investors with just four normal sessions last week before the long weekend.
Blue Origin Launch and SpaceX IPO Hype Set Stage for Tema Space ETF Activity

Blue Origin Launch and SpaceX IPO Hype Set Stage for Tema Space ETF Activity

U.S. stock markets stayed closed over the weekend, so the Tema Space Innovators ETF was left to absorb Friday’s drop after a Blue Origin rocket explosion pressured space stocks and weighed on SpaceX IPO bets. NASA ended Friday at $40.17, off 3.97% for the day. Still, the ETF finished up roughly 3.6% from the May 22 close at $38.76, after markets saw a short four-session week with the Memorial Day holiday. NASA is now a liquid way for public investors to buy into a space theme that is still partly private, with launch, satellite networks, space data and SpaceX in focus. The exchange-traded fund, or ETF, trades like a stock and holds a basket of securities. Here, that basket also gives exposure to private SpaceX, something most public investors can’t access directly.
AST SpaceMobile climbs this week; SpaceX connection remains

AST SpaceMobile hit by Blue Origin failure, SpaceX IPO chatter

AST SpaceMobile and other space stocks dropped early Friday, after Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket blew up on a Florida launchpad. The move halted a rally that had pushed some smaller names to new 52-week highs just a day before. Investors are piling into public space stocks before SpaceX’s expected IPO, a debut that could set records. The trade has lifted names like AST SpaceMobile, Rocket Lab, Redwire and Intuitive Machines. Many of these firms still need frequent launches, government deals and big spending to keep moving.

Redwire Stock Spikes as SpaceX Trade Hits Early Test

Redwire shares slipped in premarket trading Thursday, after finishing Wednesday at $24.00, up 8.9%. The move came as traders pulled back some gains from a quick rally in space stocks. Early quotes put Redwire at $23.24 to $23.27, a drop from the close, but the stock was still near highs for its recent stretch. Redwire’s stock action this week hasn’t tracked any new company release. The focus is on a wider move in space stocks as SpaceX’s IPO looks nearer. Redwire’s investor page shows the last press release is a May 20 Army deal.

Redwire Corp shares rose before the U.S. open on Wednesday, extending a sharp rally from the prior session as traders treated the defense-and-space contractor as one of the few listed ways to play renewed interest in the space economy. The NYSE-listed stock closed Tuesday at $22.04, up 26.01%, and was quoted at $24.17 in premarket trading at 8:59 a.m. in New York.

Firefly Aerospace Inc. shares closed 15.5% higher at $49.50 on Friday and ended the week up about 22%, as investors bought publicly traded space names after fresh SpaceX news pulled attention back to the sector.

U.S. markets are shut for the weekend and Nasdaq is closed Monday, May 25, for Memorial Day, leaving Tuesday as the next regular trading session for investors to decide whether Friday’s move was a durable bid or a late-week chase.

AST SpaceMobile Stock: Q1 Miss Puts $3.5 Billion Cash Cushion And 2026 Satellite Bet In Focus

AST SpaceMobile Stock: Q1 Miss Puts $3.5 Billion Cash Cushion And 2026 Satellite Bet In Focus

AST SpaceMobile posted a bigger first-quarter loss than expected, with revenue also missing Wall Street forecasts late Monday. The company held onto its 2026 revenue guidance and said the upcoming launch of its next three BlueBird satellites aboard a Falcon 9 is still set for mid-June. It’s working to transition its space-based cellular network from pilot projects and initial contracts into ongoing commercial service. That’s a pressing issue now because AST has moved past the stage of just showcasing its tech. With its recent U.S. approval for Supplemental Coverage from Space—a regulatory green light that lets satellites address gaps where ground-based mobile networks fall short—the company is pushing ahead to link up regular smartphones, no custom gear required.
