Six space stocks, one dashboard. Rocket Lab, Firefly, Redwire, Voyager Tech, Intuitive Machines AST SpaceMobile. One is down 80% from its high and still has a lower forward P/S than than the other. Worth a look.
Rocket Labs and AST SpaceMobile are both down 40%+ from their May highs. Which one would you buy the dip on.

Someone tell me how RKLB closing under the 200dma is actually bullish
Everytime I buy RKLB it goes red. On a dip, at ATH it doesn’t matter stock is so shit.
Do I even keep holding my RKLB and APLD shares? Feels like a trap
Normally I'd go all in RKLB at $75 but SPACX seems to have changed the vibes. Anyone else the same?
I have a comically oversized RKLB position, but I am thinking that the real play on space tech is probably more in line with photonics (leading eventually to copackaged optics) and any hardware manufacturer capable of scaling to supply low power, rad-hard, eFPGA ASICS. I think that efficiency (photonics integration, shift towards networks of hyper-efficient specialized task-specific hardware) is going to need to be valued radically differently under constraints of maxed out hyperscaler capex, maxed out chip production, maxed out power grid, time pressures. And that seems to be true for terrestrial stuff already, but seems absolutely non-negotiable for space-deployed hardware past a certain scale of deployment.
should i realize losses on ASTS and go in on RKLB instead???????????
Advice on to hold space stocks or just sell them? I'm fairly uninformed to investing, I've been investing since I turned 18. Everything into mutual funds on fidelity like FBGRX, FGRTX, FOCPX and like 3 more. I didn't really know much and I just put it into mutual funds and ever since my account has been steadily growing. All the money I've made from internships I've put it into it. I've grown from 10k starting to almost 90k, with a small percentage of that being a 401k/roth. However stupidly enough I heard all about the spacex IPO and the hype and how everyone was investing in companies like ASTS, RDW, RKLB. So i sold around 7k of some of the mutual funds I was holding completely,(that had returned pretty much less than a grand over the course of 5 years, with one actually at a total loss of 2k). I figured they weren't doing any heavy lifting at all and stupidly sold them to get into the hype. Of course with my luck I actually managed to buy into the very peak of all three of these companies and it went downhill from there. Very stupid but it was money I was alright losing so its not a big deal. However I'm down -42% on ASTS, -60% on RDW, -45% on RKLB. At this point should I just salvage what's left and sell it all and reinvest in my mutual funds? Or is it worth it to keep holding. Any advice is appreciated.
The thing is, I assumed Space X would be punished for being overvalued. What I can’t understand is that no other space companies was properly priced to match the overvalued space x price but they all dump at the same rate. If Space X is a trillion dollar company the. You can’t have ASTS and RKLB be worth less than 25b while having them dumb because of space X. I feel like anything between $75-$100 was fair for the perspective markets of both companies. Watching them race to 52 week lows makes no sense to me.
Amen to that lol And tell these fuckers to quit dragging down the whole market segment with them, RKLB did nothing wrong!
After a couple weeks of making what i would consider "sensible moves" and still losing 80% of the time I've decided to do the most regarded thing I could think of in the moment I have bought the RKLB dip
And there it is, RKLB 50% off ATHs 😩

ONDS is an amazing example of what I call "Smallcap Highly Innovative Technologies", or SHIT as an abbreviation. These stocks are potential 10xers like RKLB was back in the day but they are highly prone to dilution, shorting, all kinds of bad things can happen.
I should just start using puts for their intended purpose and get puts on my port. Been dogshit for a month now, I’m legitimately down more on shares this past month than I’ve ever lost on an options play before. Fuck you UUUU, KEEL, RKLB, NOK, MRVL and POET. Just utter dogshit
I hate ASTS and RKLB, space sector ruind me these past 2 months
RKLB is about to be profitable soon
Didn’t that cuck leopold buy KEEL? Why is this shit down 5-8% every day holy shit make it stop already Between it, UUUU and RKLB my stock port has been red for a month straight fuck
I wish I had more money to buy RKLB with
RKLB is at 58/100 on trademates.co. Both are speculative, but the risk profiles differ. ASTS has a $27B market cap on $14M quarterly revenue (270:1 price-to-sales), while RKLB is unprofitable with significant cash burn and nearly all valuation tied to the unproven Neutron rocket. The sector faces a potential headwind from SpaceX IPO lockup expiration on August 6th, which could drag all space stocks. For RKLB, the action plan suggests entering in two tranches at $78 and $72.50 with a stop at $68.60, taking partial profit at $120. ASTS has no such defined support levels and trades at extreme multiples even compared to Iridium (6:1). If you want a defined risk framework, RKLB offers clearer entry and exit levels.
Nasdaq being -30% on their RKLB shares is a little funny
I’m not asking for much, just for RKLB to double
Why is POET pumping. Meanwhile RKLB isn’t moving wtf
I want to stop losing money lol I did get stuck holding the gold bag from a few months back but even GOOG, RKLB, and a couple of others have been up and down but not good enough to sell so I'm here see/sawing while I keep seeing people making generational wealth. Feels bad man.
Why is everyone pumping RKLB. I have 1k sh but am confused.
Thoughts on RKLB 100C leaps?
I would invest in both but I think that ASTS has the shorter runway to getting hyper momentum. Rocket lab is creating a massive full service self integrated space company which will rival spacex, so the return will be massive if they execute, but will take longer. At this point ASTS has everything in place, they just need to keep up their manufacturing and launch cadence. With that said, it all depends on time horizon, but to be investing in either of these, your’s should be a long one. RKLB is building the kind of company that can have a market cap of $1T+ with proper execution. Also have to imagine some big neutron news will come out by years end which could send the stock into a massive run up.
RKLB about to be profitable very soon - get in while you can…
Bought RKLB pre-market RIP Joe Rogan
RKLB . I went through a similar dilemma when deciding on the same two stocks. I went with RKLB for all the good reasons you state above but moreso because I don't like the idea of backing a company whose tech could quickly become redundant ... if any of the big tech mobile phone manufacturers i.e Apple) ; or even Rocket Lab themselves choose to put up their own satellites to capture the revenue generated though phone call income then AST could be left with a constellation and a bunch of cellular providers eg Verizon et Al who get stomped into on existence by the likes of Apple becoming their own telco. All it takes is a tech breakthrough that allows satellite coms to achieve the ability to handle high connection densities or a hardware manufacturer to build their own constellation and AST risks becoming something akin to the only supplier of movies on DVD selling exclusively to BlockBuster . As great as AST seems ; I just don't like thats it's a 1 trick pony
thoughts on RKLB at this price? considering entering now
Everytime I buy RKLB it immediately goes red fuk that cursed ass stock
I had similar thoughts until I jumped into the actual numbers. Total current Starlink subscribers is 10 million, that’s great. The total confirmed subscriber base of ASTS confirmed partners is **roughly 1.6–1.8 billion mobile subscribers** (depending on exactly which affiliates and joint ventures are counted). Take note that ASTS works on almost all current and future mobile phones. Starlink’s future tech doesn’t not work on any current phones, the technology will only work on future phones coming out in 2-4 years, and that’s if the phone manufacturers decide to add their specs, and nobody is taking about the fact that this means Space X also needs to subsidize/pay for these phones in order to get to market, or make their own entirely new phone. ASTS doesn’t have any of these expenses, just 50/50 revenue split. It’s actually a less capital intense model with insane margins. Anyway buy RKLB

Generation bag holders? ASTS and RKLB are still up 100%+ since last year
Super ghey weak closing candle on RKLB today, just in case you were wondering.
I bought RKLB back at $5, I'm out of that trade now because it's not worth what it currently is at. People are always late to this stuff. I moved on to Aurora Innovation as my next 10 bagger
Space mobile and launch will become commodities. RKLB makes more money from applications and will be a better long term bet
RKLB is acquiring Iridium. Including Iridium's revenue for 2027 makes RKLB profitable with a forward P/S ratio of 22-25x at the current valuation. RKLB posted a 60% YoY increase in revenue (without Iridium and without Neutron yet), so this not crazy.
I agree. Yet stocks like RKLB were actively discussed on reddit way way back in time. If you manage not to follow the her mentality, but to pay attention what is mentioned and do your research, it can be a valuable source of information.
RKLB now owns Iridium with 900M revenue, so i guess that needs to be added to the table. I personally think RKLB and PL have a solid future. RKLB is a great launch provider, builds and launches satellites and now owns Iridium, which they plan to expand. PL are the biggest player in earth observation. ASTS is the risky play, but if they pull it off, it is easily a 1 Bil + company. The others like RDW, FLY etc. I think they are popular because people that have missed the initial large moves by the lights of RKLB, ASTS and LUNR are buying those now in the hopes they will do the same. Oh yeah, speaking of LUNR, they really need to stop tipping over their lunar landers.
Really hope RKLB isnt going to dilute.
I bought some RKLB today, we are at the 200 dma. Not a bad risk reward imo
The entire space industry will change of Starship is successful. Launch costs will be reduced by upwards of 90%. The ease of getting materials to orbit and beyond will be drastically increased. Yes, these companies aren't currently profitable. But if Starship is successful and launch costs plummet, suddenly profits skyrocket. We're on the verge of a space age. It's very exciting and this will be a high growth sector. The only question is when. With all of that said, I think this was a case of institutions and smart money taking advantage of retail hopium. You can't buy SpaceX yet, but you can buy RKLB. You can't buy Starlink but you can buy ASTS. You can't buy NASA moon colony, but you can buy RDW, LUNR and others. Remember, the SpaceX IPO started making headlines in December 2025. Look at the unnatural movement in the entire space sector since that time. This was all one buy buy the rumor pump-and-dump. Now things are settling back to where they were before December. With all of that said, Starship launches on Thursday. If it's successful, we're getting very, very close to the point that these space companies will be generating serious profits. If Starship can be as successful as the Falcon 9, watch out.
RKLB price to sales for 2027 is projected at 37X and they have a low debt load of $137M. Contracts are growing in value and in quantity.
Eh, I’m a bit concerned about SPCX’s profitability problems. Sα has them projected for a pretty wild 741 P/E for 2026 and then something below 175 in 2027 as profitability scales, but even that is pretty rough. RKLB has some real chops as a growth stock, given their negative P/E, but it’s still a big risk.
I don't feel bad for SPCX bag holders, but I do feel kinda bad for people who bought NASA NASAs introductory share price Day 1 was only a bit less than its current price. If you bought in May/Jun you are not a happy camper RKLB is now down 40-50% since most of May, and SPCX is doing SPCX things, and that's 28% of NASA right there. And if you want to bet on the long term you are betting on SPCX since that's over 17% of the holdings
You have made the biggest Reddit mistake - you did not outright trash talk SpaceX and Elon. Unfortunately you will be downvoted. But, on the flip side, it's ok, take any opportunity to buy a beaten down RKLB or SPCX and hold long term. A lot of Reddit is overly emotional about where their money goes so you're probably not going to get actual conversation around SPCX unfortunately
MBLY has a near $25B order backlog, with a \~$2B revenue run rate, and trades for around \~$8B. Amazon was cash flow positive within 7 years of founding, I believe Nvidia was profitable on that time frame. RKLB is comparatively a 20 year old company right now. I’m not making a sales pitch to buy MBLY, or dismissing there could be a huge space market to come, simply calling out that comparatively your bull thesis as written feels flimsy.
Down 22% on RKLB cost basis is 103.5 do I sell and yolo Soxl puts?
anyone ever hear of a little company called >!RKLB!<?
Porque no los dos? But my answer, RKLB. ASTS just seems like it’s going to have lots of competition and not a great moat imo. But RKLB seems to just keep growing its moat and vertical integration
RKLB and ASTS are spent, back to the scheduled color (red) by EOD
The play is so easy, ASTS and RKLB bounce
RKLB and ASTS CSPs printed lol
ASTS/RKLB gang showing some signs of life 🫶🏼
Shit like RKLB pumps/dumps 5-8% daily while GameStop must travel to Mordor to get a 3% day
Sold my RKLB friday calls at huge loss yesterday and today it pops +6%
I own both... RKLB will vastly underperform ASTS once that constellation hits 45-60 sats and bring in revenue from telecoms worldwide. Wide margin difference. Iridium... they overpaid in the short run and in the longrun maybe the satellite building infrastructure will be worth it. That being said, both cool companies. At this price ASTS is a mammoth in the making at a cheap price.
Yeah all those fuckers just need a pipeline that goes through SAUDI to Oman and cut Iran the fuck off. They just got lazy and had poor risk management... like me and the calls I bought on RKLB.
I would just buy UFO etf (if you're ameritard) or JEDI etf (if you're europoor) and set it and forget it for 5-10 years. Similar returns and volatility as RKLB and ASTS but you're more diversified and a bit safer
if the goal is a long-term space infrastructure play, RKLB probably has the easier-to-understand business case
Space is gonna have a hell of a day. ASTS & RKLB will end +15%
took profit on $RKLB at $140 and re-entered at 105. took profit on $OKLO at $175 and re-entered at 75. took profit on CRWV at like $160? and re-entered at 110. I could keep going. point is in every case I'm not much better off than if I just held. maybe you're better at this than me but timing the market is really hard.
Either this is RKLB’s bottom or it’ll be a mild Christmas this year
I like both, but for different reasons. RKLB feels like I'm investing in a business that's already proving itself. ASTS feels like I'm investing in a thesis. Nothing wrong with either, but I sleep better owning the first one.
RKLB if you can't buy both. I bought both yesterday, but picked up a couple hundred more shares of RKLB than ASTS. Due to fill
Idk about ASTS anymore I think it can get eaten up by the big leagues by the time it gets any traction, i recommend RKLB for high upside
RKLB has actual revenue and a clear path to profitability while ASTS is still a bet on whether the technology scales. Safer hands for a long term hold in my book
The fact that you're comparing two unrelated companies purely because they're both 'down 40%' tells you something important: you're anchoring to price, not thesis. RKLB's thesis (vertical integration in launch + space systems) and ASTS's thesis (satellite-to-phone connectivity) have completely different risk profiles. If you wrote separate thesis entries for each, the 'which one to buy' question would answer itself.
RKLB and ASTS hitting 60s soon?
I had RKLB 2 year LEAPs I bought at $8 sold at like $11-$12.
A big bank private clients advisor are recommending their high net worths to RKLB. You didn't hear that from me.
Same goes for RKLB, down 25% in the past month and still declining.
Good idea. When I started investing in both RKLB and ASTS (both were trading in the single digits at the time…), I always told people asking for me for stock tips in the space sector: Put 70-80% of your space allocation in RKLB and the remainder in ASTS, because RKLB was (and still is) a more mature company with revenue - even more so once the Iridium IRDM merger passes. (I still own both RKLB and ASTS, but sold some off when both were trading well above $100).
Sure you're not on RKLB? Check the armrest for logo.
> small and crowded corner A market they invented, lead, and are still the only company to have the appropriate technology and spectrum to take advantage of. They'll be the only player when the constellation builds out sufficiently for public service next year, and for a long time to come. RKLB's non-launch acquisitions are meaningless unless they can get Neutron to stop following the footsteps of BO NG (unlikely given the glacial pace of development), and also get customer orders for constellations after that. Likely at least 3 years out before we see investments start to pay off. I subscribe to the subreddits of both subs. RKLB runs on sentiment, hopium, groupthink, and unrealistic timelines. Half of them don't know anything besides "stock price go up". ASTS discussions are factual, fundamental, and users are more pessimistic on timelines. There isn't the same meme stock vibe. That said, I bought both during the dip, but I'd be much happier with RKLB under $50 while ASTS is a steal anywhere below $100.
RKLB's operating expense is larger than its gross profit, and it has a net loss of 45 million actually.
Hoping MSFT is cooking. RKLB not as concerned about but still wish it was up. Thinking about quitting my job as December approaches and living off savings from January-June (as I finish my courses), and I'd rather not sell stock to do so. Oh well!
