Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO, anticipated sometime this year, could be the biggest of all time based on a rumored valuation of $1.75 trillion—and savvy investors might want to start thinking about how other space stocks could be swept up for the ride. A number of companies in the burgeoning satellite industry may be primed for movement as the massive SpaceX event approaches, but more importantly, some of these firms have compelling investment theses all on their own.
Three stellar names that are not SpaceX include BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY), Viasat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), and Redwire Corp. (NYSE: RDW). Not only do these companies stand to gain extra investor attention in the lead-up to the SpaceX IPO, but some or all of them may play a pivotal role in the ongoing Iran war or other geopolitical events in the near-term as well.
