When the space SPAC frenzy happened in real time, many saw the financial targets pushed onto investors by newly minted public companies as a “space case,” not base case. Here an insignificant employee working in the space industry in Japan offers research, analysis, and perspective. This is a hobby. Please ignore everything.
Approximately 40 public space companies trade on nine exchanges on three continents. Space stocks categorized by sector and listed here. Pages are presently up and will be tracking news for all public earth observation companies Planet, Blacksky, Satrec, Satellogic, ISI, and iQPS. Moving towards satellite manufactures (Terran Orbital may they soon RIP and MDA), but GomSpace and AAC Clyde already up. For satellite service companies, Sidus Space is live, to be followed later by Spire. Most recently (October 19th) space solar panel provider Ascent Solar is now up.
As has been already well-reported, many space SPACs failed to deliver on initial financial projections post-IPO. Keeping track of projections hit and missed by each company and grading companies here.
And finally also tracking CEO performance in terms of shareholder value created, and lost. This list will grow to include all public space CEOs. And a RIP list to follow later for prior space CEOs who were fired, stepped aside, retired, or went private.
Some will make money from investing in space stocks (i.e. ASTS). However there have been many more losers than winners. If you ever browse Stocktwits or Reddit, you have seen posts of people who already incurred some substantial losses. More will loose again in the future. If you invest in any stock, especially in the commercial space industry, be careful. Make decisions after consultation with an investment professional. And disregard everything posted on this site.
Upcoming additions and planned changes
- Fix chron to make stock API data automatically update (who knows how to do this??)
- Make the tables sortable (need to learn to code that)
- Update SAR information on Earth Observation page
- Pages with supporting data forming the basis for CEO value created
- Make RIP page for failed public space companies (Astra, Terran Orbital, NewSat, Sky & Space) and successful exits (Maxar)
- Add “Avio” (and about nine other companies) to the list of space stock companies
- Maybe eventually a comments/discussion for each stock if anyone actually visits this site
Please note this
My background is physics and engineering, not finance. I work for company with decades of space heritage and through participation at industry conferences have seen all sorts of new companies pitching their business. Many new companies don’t seem to last. If you plan to invest stocks or any other financial product, don’t make investments based on random sites on the internet. Do your own research and seek advice from a financial advisor.
