On May 21, Redwire Corp rose 8.3% in regular trading, trading at $15.03/share, with trading volume of $525 million.
The rally was driven by a surge in backlog orders following multiple new contract wins. Redwire secured a multiyear contract valued at high eight-figures from a NATO country for its Penguin Mk3 uncrewed aerial system as part of a national modernization program. Additionally, the company received a $15 million follow-on contract from the US Army Aviation Center of Excellence for its Stalker UAS—the third order from the brigade in eight months, bringing total recent orders to $24.8 million. Redwire was also named prime contractor for the DARPA Otter program.
The broader space and defense sector provided further tailwinds during a dense earnings season, with Rocket Lab revenue surpassing $200 million and Firefly posting record results. Within the Aerospace & Defense sector, Rocket Lab rose 5.16%, GE Aerospace rose 4.59%, Boeing rose 3.23%, Howmet Aerospace rose 3.12%, and RTX Corp rose 0.49%.
