Redwire Corp.'s stock soared 5.49% during Tuesday's trading session, marking a significant upward movement for the aerospace and defense technology company.
The sharp rise follows the company's announcement that it has been selected for the U.S. Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract. This multi-vendor contract has a ceiling value of $151 billion and is designed to support homeland defense by enabling rapid delivery of innovative capabilities.
While the IDIQ contract is a multi-award agreement with no guaranteed revenue, investors reacted positively to Redwire's inclusion in this major procurement vehicle. The selection also positions the company as a potential supplier for President Donald Trump's "Golden Dome" missile defense initiative, which analysts estimate could have a lifetime value of $542 billion.
