Credit goes to u/VictorCalifornia for making the initial observation after last week's earnings reports. I just added $YSS - York Space Systems. $YSS missed their guidance and revised their sales lower, but it's interesting to compare the 3 space systems segments of the companies side-by-side.

*^(RKLB and LUNR have additional "Service" revenue streams (Launch for RKLB and NASA Lunar for LUNR. YSS revenue is 100% space systems.)

Space stocks bucket performance since announcement of SPCX IPO

Most space stocks have erased their gains from April 1 report that SpaceX plans to file for IPO. You would think some hedge funds knew at least a week in advance. Only RKLB has survived the carnage, somewhat.

Price on Monday Mar 30 (Bloomberg broke story on April 1st):

- RKLB $57 today $81
- ASTS $74 today $73
- PL $28 today $26
- LUNR $16 today $16
- FLY $24 today $24
- RDW $8 today $10
- YSS $21 today $19

NASA began trading on Mar 31 at $25, closed today at $26

I posted yesterday how space bucket lost $100 billion since its ATH, enough to buy the entire SPCX IPO shares + bond offering

Space sector has lost almost $100 billion in value in just over a month

Most of the drop in valuations came out of RKLB and ASTS but one cannot ignore the carnage to PL, LUNR, RDW, FLY, VOYG, YSS, and several others. That's more money than SPCX raised in its IPO.

Run a stock sub, stock changed its symbol, now what?

I run r/SATS_ECHOSTAR and recently Echostar, the company, changed its stock symbol from SATS to ECHO, is there a fix or do I need to create a brand new sub? What happens to the old sub?

Some say a tide will lift all boats but others say it will suck all the liquidity from the sector.

How are you preparing for the IPO, will you sell your current holdings to buy into it or will you allocate new money or will you ignore it altogether?
