Space Infrastructure Stocks Surge Nearly 3 Trillion Won in One Day

On the New York Stock Exchange, Redwire Corp. (RDW) shares surged 29.56% to close at $22.75. Trading volume topped 53.15 million shares, and the company’s market capitalization swelled by about $1.9 billion in a single day to roughly $4.53 billion.

The recent rally reflects several headline-making developments: the U.S. Army’s additional $15 million order for Stalker drones; Redwire’s delivery of a lunar robotic arm to the European Space Agency; and the securing of a long-term, high-eight-figure drone contract with NATO allies. Investor sentiment was further boosted by a strong turnaround in Q1 2026 results, with revenues climbing approximately 58% year-over-year to $97 million.

Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, Redwire specializes in space infrastructure, satellite components, solar power systems and in-space manufacturing technologies, supplying essential equipment to government and commercial aerospace and defense customers.
