The space economy isn't coming. It's here and it's being funded by defense budgets, carrier contracts, and venture dollars simultaneously.
Not financial advice
Do space stocks run BEFORE the SpaceX IPO?
Trying to front-run the obvious here.
If SpaceX IPOs at ~$2T, does everything adjacent run first?
Thinking:
$ASTS
$RKLB
$PL
We’ve already seen some momentum, and NASA budgets are at record highs (~$27B). Feels like the whole sector is getting re-rated.
But… none of these are really profitable yet.
So question:
Is this a legit “rising tide lifts all boats” moment, or just hype that fades post-IPO?
$RKLB is starting to look like the “real” public SpaceX proxy
Rocket Lab just posted a huge quarter:
Revenue up 63% YoY
$2.2B backlog
Largest launch contract in company history
Defense business accelerating
Neutron still on track for late 2026
Stock ripped more than 30% after earnings and keeps making new highs. Meanwhile a lot of speculative space names are struggling to execute.
Feels like institutions are finally treating RKLB less like a meme and more like a legit aerospace prime.
Question is:
Does $RKLB eventually become a trillion-dollar “space infrastructure” company or is this another hype cycle?
@amitisinvesting I don't get holding a lot of cash there are lots of opportunities in the market, the market itself might not be a buy, but there are often good stable stocks which are better than cash.
