On June 1, Karman Holdings rose 5.27% overnight, trading at $60.53/share, with trading volume of $389,000. The move represents a partial recovery after the stock plunged over 12% on May 29 amid a broad aerospace selloff triggered by Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket explosion.
The Blue Origin incident — a catastrophic explosion during a static fire test at Cape Canaveral — sent shockwaves across the commercial space sector last week. Karman Holdings, which specializes in mission-critical systems for missile defense, space, and hypersonic programs, was hit particularly hard as the sector reassessed risk. Adding to the selling pressure, Karman simultaneously launched a secondary offering of 13.5 million common shares on the same day, with underwriters granted a 30-day option for an additional 2.03 million shares.
Despite the overnight rebound in Karman, the broader Aerospace and Defense sector remained under pressure, with Rocket Lab USA down 2.38%, Boeing down 0.16%, GE Aerospace down 0.12%, and RTX Corp down 0.02%, while Howmet Aerospace traded flat.
