Key Points
Space stocks rocketed in the run-up to SpaceX's June IPO -- then plummeted afterward.
Stock prices have stabilized and begun climbing higher this month.
Government contracts support the sector, but space stocks as a whole remain richly valued today.
Space stocks are in shambles.
"Led" (in a bad way) by Space Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX), the space titan built by Elon Musk and IPOed on June 12, shares of space stocks of all stripes have taken a beating over the past couple of months.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Take Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) for example. The space company, often described as a mini-SpaceX, surged from below $5 in May 2024 to more than $140 in May 2026 -- a thirtyfold rise in just two years. Then it plunged more than 50% after the SpaceX IPO.
Or consider AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS), the satellite communications pioneer that proved the concept of cell phone-to-cell phone communications via satellite, with no towers in between. That one rose nearly twelvefold over the same two-year period -- then gave back 20% in the month following SpaceX's titanic IPO.
More targeted space plays such as Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), which builds space infrastructure, and Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ: LUNR), focused on delivering cargo to the moon, gained fourfold in two years and nearly eightfold, respectively, before falling each falling roughly 70% in a month.
Can they bounce back?
SpaceX leads; others follow
Even SpaceX hasn't gone unscathed. After a first few frenzied days of trading that lifted Elon Musk's space empire past $211 a share, sellers arrived in force at SpaceX, driving the shares down nearly into the double digits.
The good news is that SpaceX appears to have found its footing again, closing at $140 Friday and once again above its IPO price. The better news is that many other space stocks are recovering, at least somewhat, alongside the leader.
The best news of all is that, with the U.S. government continuing to pour money into space exploration, there's reason to believe the momentum is sustainable.
NITE-STAR gazing
Case in point: Late last month, the U.S. Space Force announced a $981 million award to be shared among more than a dozen separate space stocks working on the "National Space Test and Training Complex Innovative Technology and Engineering Space Test and Range Capability Development" -- dubbed "NITE-STAR."
(Someone clearly worked overtime trying to make those words fit that acronym.)
Space Force named the following 15 space companies -- 13 of which are publicly traded -- as winners of NITE-STAR, clearing them to bid on future task orders under the umbrella contract, which will span 10 years:
It's not entirely clear what NITE-STAR will entail. The Space Force itself might not be 100% certain, describing the contract's goal vaguely as "advancement of the sophisticated systems and technologies required to keep [Space Force servicemen known as] Guardians ahead of the complexities of a contested space domain."
More importantly for investors, it's less than 100% certain anyone on the above list will book significant, needle-moving wins -- even on this nearly $1 billion contract.
What it means for space investors
Consider that $981 million, spread over 10 years, works out to just $98.1 million per year. And if contracts are evenly distributed, each of the 15 companies might, on average, expect to book as little as $6.5 million per year under the contract.
It goes without saying that $6.5 million won't move the needle for giant space companies such as Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, or L3Harris. Smaller space-fry such as Firefly, Redwire, or York Space might notice the revenue influx more. But even at York, $6.5 million extra per year will only add about 1.5% to the company's $405 million-a-year revenue stream.
In short, big as this contract appears on the surface, it's not -- in and of itself -- going to be enough to turn things around and start a new bull market in space stocks. Many more contracts, and many much larger contracts, will be needed for that.
Meanwhile, a survey of 15 of the biggest space stocks that I follow shows an average price-to-sales ratio of 65.4. (Even throwing out triple-digit P/S outliers such as AST and Virgin Galactic (NYSE: SPCE) only brings the average P/S down to 19.8.) Valuations remain extreme in this sector.
Investors should be wary. Even after some pretty historic declines, space stocks as a whole aren't yet cheap enough to guarantee a bounce-back.

Can Space Stocks Bounce Back? This $1 Billion Air Force Contract Might Help.

Virgin Galactic (SPCE) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.58 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.6. This compares to a loss of $1.47 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +3.33%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post a loss of $0.79 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.81, delivering a surprise of -2.53%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Virgin Galactic, which belongs to the Zacks Aerospace - Defense industry, posted revenues of $0.13 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 34.00%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $0.41 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Virgin Galactic shares have added about 2.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.9%.
What's Next for Virgin Galactic?
While Virgin Galactic has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Virgin Galactic was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is -$0.64 on $0.19 million in revenues for the coming quarter and -$2.59 on $9.17 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Aerospace - Defense is currently in the top 30% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the broader Zacks Aerospace sector, AeroVironment (AVAV), has yet to report results for the quarter ended July 2026.
This maker of unmanned aircrafts is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.34 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +6.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
AeroVironment's revenues are expected to be $474.57 million, up 4.4% from the year-ago quarter.

Friday Sector Laggards: Defense, Aerospace & Defense Stocks

Ahead of this final trading day of the week — which has climbed past Friday’s highs after a tumultuous past few sessions — pre-market futures are up again, following a boffo Thursday that saw major indexes rise between +1.75% (S&P 500) and north of +2.5% (Nasdaq). Currently, the Dow is up +300 additional points, the S&P 500 +30, the Nasdaq +70 and the small-cap Russell 2000 is +13 points higher.
SpaceX to Make History on Its IPO Today
Elon Musk’s SpaceX (SPCX) will not be the first publicly-traded space rocket company — there are Rocket Lab RKLB, EchoStar SATS, AST Spacemobile ASTS and Virgin Galactic SPCE, just to name a few — but it will be the biggest. Currently valued between 1.75-2.00 trillion in market capitalization, today’s IPO is underwritten by Goldman Sachs GS and is expected to raise $75 billion.
The finances get a bit gnarly fairly quickly when we look into this IPO: while more than 555 million shares will be on offer, there is a known lockup period out in mid-August and some two dozen levered ETFs related to SpaceX going public, again just to name a couple examples. This doesn’t even begin to address Musk’s expressed interest for SpaceX to acquire Tesla TSLA, the CEO’s other trillion-dollar corporation.
Without getting too deep into the smoke on the launchpad, suffice it to say this IPO is not guaranteed to blast off and take retail markets with it. Those early investors in the company — SpaceX was founded way back in 2002 — will clearly do great today; they’ve literally had this moment circled on their calendars for years.
Why SpaceX is a long-term winner is crystal clear: with database installation outside the Earth’s atmosphere, and perhaps energy stations and other huge enterprises as well, SpaceX’s utility is vast and forward looking. Its Starlink satellite systems (more than 10K and growing) has already manifest itself as a key cog in global communications. So while the near-term hype may not be worth the navigation to get a piece of this IPO, ultimately SpaceX looks to be nothing short of a staple of the American economy.
What to Expect from the Market Today, Next Week
Follow along with Zacks Strategists Tracey Ryniec and Dave Bartosiak starting at 10am for analysis, insight and documentation of the first trades for SPCX.
Meanwhile, after today’s open, the latest Consumer Sentiment survey from the University of Michigan is expected to improve slightly off May’s all-time low 44.8, but only up to a still-paltry 46.0. A full 57% of respondents last month cited a high cost of living — sparked by high gasoline prices that resulted after the war on Iran led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Politically speaking, Republicans and Independents joined Democrats at these low sentiment levels.
Finally, as last week was Jobs Week and this week addressed Inflation, next week brings us key data on the Housing market. Housing Starts & Building Permits, Home Builder Confidence, and Pending Home Sales will give us a clearer picture of this space, which looks to be rebounding off multi-year lows in recent months.
