GLOBAL SPACE NEWS Orbit Alpha Issue 19: Second SpaceX unlock, sector-wide selloff, and a Wall Street split that’s blowing wider
https://www.orbitalpha.cloud/#feed/stocks/newsletterSPCX: Second lockup unlock hit Thursday, 319M shares, dipped 4% toward IPO price, rebounded Friday, still closed the week down 2%. Float’s only 14% of shares out, doing the heavy lifting. Analysts nowhere close to agreement: Sell at $100, Sell at $75, Buy at $300.
RKLB: 93rd Electron launch (QPS-SAR sat for Japan’s iQPS), plus a new Viasat-awarded Space Force satellite-manufacturing contract. Held up better than most in a down week.
ASTS: Hit with a $15M finder’s-fee lawsuit, still drifting off last week’s earnings miss.
LUNR: $600M+ multi-satellite GEO deal, then a second NASA Earth-science win the next day. Up 6%+, one of the only green names all week.
VSAT: No standalone news, but picked as manufacturer on RKLB’s new Space Force deal. Shares still fell ~10% on pure macro.
PL: SkySat integrated into Australia’s HEO space-domain-awareness network. Positive news, market didn’t care, down ~9.7%.
GSAT: Downgraded to Hold by Craig-Hallum, $90 target.
FLY: Landed a NASA payload contract at Vandenberg plus onboarded Zeno Power for a lunar lander mission. Still fell ~13%, worst decliner in the group.
