Week Ended 12.20.2024
Happy Friday! We're nearing the end of 2024 and we hope you all have plans for a relaxing year-end. The Q1 earnings calendar is officially underway and we're expecting a quiet newswire next week so this will be our last newsletter for the year. Catch us on X as we will be tweeting, but otherwise see you in 2025!

Market Max-Q
Forward Forward

Top Stories
1) Was 2024 the first inning for space investors?
  • After a grueling 2022 - 2023, (most) space investors were heavily rewarded for their pain in 2024. In what was another continued bullish year for market indexes, 2024 saw rallies from a broader group of mid and lower market capitalization stocks backed by growing investor interest, long-term industry optimism and operational milestone successes.
     
  • The double-digit club includes: 
    • Intuitive Machines ($LUNR) +431%
    • Redwire ($RDW) +387%
    • Rocket Lab ($RKLB) +350%
    • AST SpaceMobile ($ASTS) +280%
    • SatixFy ($SATX) +231%
       
  • While the above have bred many riches, there were also the losers:
    • Astra ($ASTR) -76% (delisted)
    • Terran Orbital ($LLAP) -78% (acquired)
    • Virgin Galactic ($SPCE) -88%
    • Mynaric ($MYNA) -93%
       
  • See the Chart of the Week below for a visual of the above.
     
  • Let's hope that 2025 continues on the good fortunes. Tune in next week on our X account for the final numbers.
