On May 27, Redwire Corp. rose 8.89% overnight, trading at $24.5/share, with trading volume of $159,300. The stock had surged as much as 27% during the prior regular session before extending gains in overnight trading.
On the news front, the rally was driven by two major catalysts. First, SpaceX filed its S-1 registration for an initial public offering last week, with a potential valuation of up to $2 trillion and plans to raise as much as $75 billion, significantly boosting market optimism toward the broader space economy. Second, Redwire recently secured multiple significant contract awards, including a multi-year high eight-figure NATO member state contract for the Penguin Mk3 tactical drone system and a $15 million U.S. Army Stalker drone training order — the third such order in eight months, bringing cumulative recent order value to $24.8 million. The surge in backlog orders provides strong revenue visibility going forward.
Within the Aerospace & Defense sector, Momentus Inc. rose 21.96%, Intuitive Machines rose 3.44%, GE Aerospace rose 1.08%, Boeing rose 0.87%, and Rocket Lab USA rose 0.56%, reflecting broad sector momentum driven by the SpaceX IPO catalyst.
