On June 6, Applied Aerospace & Defense fell 8.04% in regular trading, trading at $17.10/share, with trading volume of $29.15 million. The stock has now fallen significantly below its $20 IPO price, with cumulative losses exceeding 14% in just three trading days since listing.
The continued decline reflects mounting investor concerns over the company's shareholder structure and profitability outlook. Following the IPO, the private equity sponsor retains approximately 81% of outstanding shares, raising fears of future selling pressure once lock-up restrictions expire. The company, which completed its $650 million IPO on June 3 at $20 per share on the NYSE, currently operates at a loss with trailing twelve-month earnings per share of -$0.15 and a negative P/E ratio of -137.46.
Applied Aerospace & Defense, Inc., incorporated in 2022, is a supplier of advanced design, engineering, and vertically integrated manufacturing solutions for space and defense technology companies, serving three core markets: space and launch systems, defense aviation and airborne systems, and C5ISR and precision strike systems.
