Shares of space company Redwire (RDW) ended Friday's trading close to 15% higher after it reported Q2 2026 results that exceeded Street expectations while reaffirming its revenue guidance for the year. Redwire has been in the news recently due to some notable contract wins and the wider enthusiasm among space stocks, thanks to SpaceX (SPCX).
Yet, attributing Redwire's rally to just this would be a disservice and would not present the true picture of the company.
