Planet Labs PBC·Industrials

Top space-related stocks are in a strong bull run this year, helped by the elevated demand from retail and institutional investors. Planet Labs (NASDAQ: PL), Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB), and Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ: LUNR) have all jumped by either double or triple digits this year.

The SpaceX NASDAQ: SPCX IPO is dominating headlines, but Luke Lango of InvestorPlace says investors are looking at this story through too narrow a lens. The real trade isn't just one rocket company going public, it's a decades-long convergence of four separate business ventures into one AI-driven empire, and the stocks riding that wave are already starting to move.

Wall Street is buzzing over reports of SpaceX's supposedly imminent initial public offering. Market mavens point to a June, 2026 IPO, with the stock trading under the symbol SPCX on Nasdaq.

PL nears profitability with strong 2026 guidance, leaning on efficiency, tighter costs and higher-margin analytics and software integration.

BKSY stock surges 143% YTD, secures up to $160M in wins and guides for 2026 revenue growth above 50% and 80% gross margin.
