On May 27, Redwire Corp. rose 10.25% in regular trading, trading at $23.69/share, with trading volume of approximately $475 million, after surging as much as 27% earlier in the session.
On the news front, SpaceX filed for an initial public offering last week, with market expectations of a valuation as high as $2 trillion and plans to raise up to $75 billion. The filing significantly boosted optimism toward the space economy, sending space-related stocks broadly higher. Simultaneously, Redwire's fundamental outlook was strengthened by a series of major contract awards, including a multi-year high eight-figure Penguin Mk3 tactical drone system contract from a NATO member state and a $15 million US Army Stalker drone follow-on training order — the third such order in eight months, bringing cumulative value to $24.8 million. These awards drove a substantial increase in backlog, providing strong revenue visibility.
Within the Aerospace & Defense sector, the overall atmosphere remained positive. Among individual stocks, Momentus up 29.46%, Rocket Lab USA up 4.18%, Intuitive Machines up 2.98%, RTX Corp down 0.53%, Firefly Aerospace down 1.04%.
