Space Stocks To Keep An Eye On – December 19th

Rocket Lab, Boeing, GE Aerospace, AST SpaceMobile, and RTX are the five Space stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. “Space stocks” are publicly traded companies whose core business or a significant portion of revenue comes from space-related activities — including rocket launches, satellite manufacturing and operations, space-based communications and Earth observation, space tourism, and related suppliers and services. As an investment category they tend to be capital-intensive and technology- and regulation-driven, with long development timelines, higher technical and policy risk, and growth upside tied to government contracts, commercial demand for space services, and broader trends in connectivity and defense. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Space stocks within the last several days.
