Two Resilient SPAC-Backed Space Stocks to Buy: Rocket Lab and Intuitive Machines

Rocket Lab and Intuitive Machines are two resilient space stocks that have survived the wash-out of SPAC-backed companies. Rocket Lab produces reusable orbital rockets and plans to launch its second rocket, Neutron, this year. It has secured an $816 million contract with the U.S. Space Development Agency and expects revenue to more than double from $600 million in 2025 to $1.29 billion in 2027. Intuitive Machines produces lunar landers and exploration vehicles, having sent two of its Nova-C landers to the moon for NASA. It plans to launch its next lunar mission, IM-3, this year and has secured various contracts with NASA. Analysts expect its revenue to more than quadruple from $219 million in 2025 to $1.04 billion in 2027.
