On June 22, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions fell 5.26% in regular trading, trading at $51.1/share, with turnover of $59.12 million. The decline came amid broad-based weakness across the aerospace and defense sector.
The selloff appears linked to continued pressure on space and defense names following SpaceX's sharp correction earlier in the week, which saw the company drop as much as 22% from its intraday record high. That pullback triggered a broader unwind in space-related equities, with Kratos among the names falling over 4% during the initial wave. The selling pressure has since extended across the wider aerospace and defense industry.
Within the Aerospace & Defense sector, stocks declined broadly. Among individual names, Redwire Corp. fell 11.22%, Rocket Lab USA fell 9.14%, Lockheed Martin fell 3.12%, RTX Corp fell 1.72%, and GE Aerospace fell 0.39%. Notably, B. Riley recently upgraded Kratos to Buy with a $105 price target, citing attractive risk-reward and the company's proprietary intellectual property portfolio supporting cost-effective defense solutions.
