Velo3D Inc (VELO)

I'm studying this company now. If they can produce heat- tolerant and space environment tolerant parts that space vehicles can use......combined with engineered items that cannot be produced by traditional milling operations, then we may have a serious winner here.
I like what they do, I just need to learn a fair bit more about how their work is being received by the A&D sector generally as well as how the company is doing in terms of management.

This could be a huge player in just a few years especially with AI becoming part of the overall design process.

Liftoff: The Day the Orbital Economy Became a Public MarketJune 12, 2026 8:00 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Starfighters Space, Inc.The sector's defining company is trading on the open market for the first time. A frontier that was private for a generation is now, finally, everyone's to own.Baystreet.ca News CommentaryCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Some market days are remembered less for what a stock did than for what they signified. As reported, today is one of them: SpaceX is set to begin trading publicly on NASDAQ under the ticker SPCX, ending a long era in which the most consequential company in the modern space age remained beyond the reach of public investors. Whatever the first day's price action, the deeper event is structural — the orbital economy now has a flagship listed on a public exchange, and an entire sector steps into a new phase of its life as an investable asset class. The debut caps a remarkable stretch for the sector's relationship with public markets. Just this month, the broad-market Russell 3000® Index confirmed its 2026 reconstitution would add commercial-space names — including Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE: FJET), effective June 29, 2026 — formally wiring smaller space companies into the benchmarks that trillions of dollars track. The giant lists; the ecosystem indexes. Both happening within days of each other is not coincidence so much as confirmation: capital has decided the space economy belongs in public portfolios.What a Public SpaceX ChangesThe arrival of SpaceX on a public exchange does three things at once. It hands investors a direct, liquid way to own the orbital economy's marquee name — something only a privileged few could do through private rounds before now. It establishes a continuously updated, market-cleared valuation for the sector's anchor, replacing the guesswork of private marks. And it concentrates enormous attention on space as a category, drawing in institutional and retail capital that inevitably looks beyond the single largest name to the rest of the field. Reporting has framed the listing in historic terms — a multi-trillion-dollar valuation and a raise that at the high end would rank among the largest ever — though, like any debut, the figures are as reported and the first-day market will set its own tone.It is worth noting the sector's debut-week mood has been two-sided. Alongside the excitement, some analysts have openly debated whether a dominant, vertically integrated launch leader could pressure rivals that depend on it, and space stocks have seen sharp swings as investors weigh that question. That is healthy: a maturing sector argues with itself. But the underlying trajectory — more capital, more public vehicles, more institutional ownership — has only accelerated.The Field Around the FlagshipWith the giant now public, attention turns to the listed companies that let investors participate in the same growth story across different layers of the orbital economy. Each offers a distinct angle on where the sector is heading.Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ: RKLB) stands out as the public market's most direct analogue to the integrated launch-and-space-systems model, having reached record highs around the mid-$140s in 2026 while expanding through a spacecraft-robotics acquisition and openly discussing Mars-mission capability. On a day when the sector's giant goes public, Rocket Lab is the name many investors treat as the most investable proxy for the same end-to-end ambition.Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ: LUNR) carries the lunar thesis, developing landers and services for the global return to the Moon. It anchors the part of the investable sector focused on cislunar space and government Moon programs — a reminder that the public space market now stretches from low-Earth orbit all the way to the lunar surface.Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW) supplies the in-space infrastructure and manufacturing that missions and satellites rely on, embodying the 'picks-and-shovels' approach to the orbital build-out. Its strong 2026 run reflects steady investor appetite for the suppliers underpinning the whole ecosystem rather than any single launch headline.Velo3D, Inc. (NASDAQ: VELO) rounds out the group from the supply-chain layer, supplying metal additive-manufacturing systems used to produce mission-critical parts for space, aviation, and defense programs. Its 2026 turn toward faster revenue growth and improving margins shows that the attention flooding the sector on a day like this reaches the specialized manufacturers behind the hardware, not just the launch and satellite headline names. These names are referenced to illustrate the breadth of the sector and do not imply any partnership, endorsement, affiliation, or comparable financial performance; they differ widely in size and stage.Starfighters in the New Public EraIn a sector suddenly defined by a public giant, differentiation matters more than ever — and Starfighters Space offers a genuinely distinct one. The company operates what it bills as the world's only flight-ready MACH 2+ supersonic aircraft fleet from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, pursuing air-launch: releasing a vehicle from a fast, high-flying aircraft so the launch system inherits altitude and speed it would otherwise have to generate, with the runway responsiveness and reusability an aircraft platform implies. Freshly public and freshly indexed, it enters this new era as exactly the kind of niche, differentiated name that benefits when a flood of capital starts searching the sector for the next angle. CEO Tim Franta called the Russell inclusion a milestone reflecting growing awareness of that differentiated platform.The honest caveats stand. Starfighters is early-stage and small-cap, its shares have been volatile, and a newly public sector giant raises the competitive and valuation bar for everyone. Index inclusion and sector enthusiasm expand the audience; they do not substitute for commercial execution, which remains the real test ahead. But the company now operates inside a sector that has, in a single month, crossed a threshold it spent a generation approaching.What Public-Company Life Does to a SectorA public listing is not just a financing event; it is a transparency event. Once the sector's flagship trades openly, it must report on a regular cadence, disclose its economics, and submit to the daily judgment of the market. That discipline radiates outward. Suppliers, partners, and competitors are all measured against a newly visible standard, and investors gain a continuously updated yardstick for the unit economics of launch, satellites, and space services. The fog that long surrounded space-company valuations begins to lift, and a category that traded on narrative starts trading on numbers.That transition tends to reward the companies with genuine differentiation and credible paths to revenue, while pressuring those whose stories outran their fundamentals. It is, in the long run, a healthy sorting. For an investor, the arrival of a transparent, public anchor makes the entire sector easier to analyze — there is finally a reference business whose disclosures illuminate the costs, margins, and growth rates that smaller peers can be measured against. A sector with a public flagship is a sector that can be underwritten with far more confidence than one valued entirely behind closed doors.The Longer Arc: A Decade of Orbital Build-OutIt helps to zoom out from a single trading day to the trajectory it marks. The forces pulling capital toward space are not a one-week phenomenon. Falling launch costs have turned once-prohibitive missions into routine operations. Satellite constellations are being deployed at a pace unimaginable a decade ago, for everything from broadband to Earth observation to direct-to-phone connectivity. Government programs are pushing back toward the Moon and beyond, and defense budgets increasingly treat space as a contested domain requiring sustained investment. Each of those currents creates demand for launch capacity, hardware, infrastructure, and services — the very things the public space sector now offers investors a way to own.Against that backdrop, a flagship listing is less a finish line than a starting gun. It signals that the orbital economy has matured enough to support public-market scrutiny — and it invites the capital needed to fund the next decade of build-out. The companies positioned across the sector's layers, from launch to lunar to infrastructure to niche specialists, are the vehicles through which that decade of investment will flow. Today's debut is best understood not as the story's climax but as the moment the public market officially joined the journey.A Frontier, Finally PublicFor decades, the deepest irony of the space age was that the public could cheer the rockets but rarely own the companies launching them. That ends now. With the sector's flagship trading on a public exchange and the market's broadest index folding space names into trillions of tracked dollars, the orbital economy has completed its migration from private frontier to public marketplace. The launch everyone watched this week was financial as much as physical — and for investors, the sky is no longer the boundary; it is the opportunity set.CONTINUED … Learn more about Starfighters Space, Inc. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/fjet-landingPOWERED BY EAGLE EYETrack the signal, not the noise.Eagle Eye delivers real-time investor intelligence — aggregating social, forum, and news data across the tickers that matter, so you can see what the market is talking about before it moves.Explore it now at Eagle-Eye.devCONTACT:

Every Space Stock Just Got a YardstickJune 11, 2026 9:05 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Starfighters Space, Inc.A historic IPO is about to hand the orbital economy its first public price tag — and that single number will echo across every space ticker on the board.BREVARD COUNTY, Fla., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- American News Group News Commentary — In private markets, value is whispered. In public markets, it is shouted — printed on a ticker, updated by the second, available to everyone. The commercial space sector is about to make that transition at its very summit. As reported, SpaceX is set to price its initial public offering in this window, ahead of a Nasdaq debut, and the figure it settles on will become the reference point against which the entire sector is measured for years to come. It is a fitting capstone to a stretch in which public markets have moved decisively to embrace space. Only days ago, the broad-market Russell 3000® Index confirmed its 2026 reconstitution would add commercial-space names — including Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE: FJET), effective June 29, 2026 — formally recognizing that the sector has grown large enough to matter to the market's broadest benchmarks. Pricing the giant and indexing its peers are two expressions of the same shift: the orbital economy is being assigned public value at unprecedented scale.From Private Whisper to Public NumberSpaceX has spent its life valued in the half-light of private rounds and secondary transactions. Its IPO drags that valuation into daylight. Having filed its public S-1 and applied to list on Nasdaq under the symbol SPCX, the company is reported to be pricing around $135 per share, at a valuation in the trillions, with a potential raise that at the high end would rank among the largest ever brought to market. (Those figures are as reported and remain subject to final pricing.) The valuation narrative leans heavily on Starlink, the satellite-internet business believed to generate most of SpaceX's revenue.What makes this a sector event rather than a company event is the benchmark it creates. The instant a public price exists for the orbital economy's flagship, every other space name is implicitly compared against it — its growth rate, its path to profitability, the multiple the market assigns it. A public anchor at the top changes how investors think about the price of everything below it. That is why the pricing of one company reverberates across an entire board of tickers.CONTINUED … Learn more about Starfighters Space, Inc. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/fjet-landingThe Spectrum of Space the Market Is PricingTo see why this repricing matters broadly, consider how varied the listed space sector has become — from orbital habitats to phone-connecting satellites to imaging constellations to advanced manufacturing. Four companies sketch that range.Voyager Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: VOYG) sits at the infrastructure summit of the group, developing the Starlab commercial space station intended as a successor to the International Space Station and recently agreeing to acquire lunar-delivery company Astrobotic in a deal valued at up to $300 million. With raised guidance and rising analyst targets, Voyager captures how aggressively the market is re-rating the companies building the orbital economy's largest structures.Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL) runs one of the world's largest Earth-observation satellite fleets, selling imagery and analytics into agriculture, government, mapping, and defense. As a recurring-revenue data business riding on space hardware, Planet represents the information-services layer of the sector — proof that space value is not only about launch and hardware but about the data that orbit makes possible.AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS) is chasing direct-to-smartphone connectivity from orbit, working with major mobile carriers and recently advancing both a North American spectrum settlement and a pending Russell 1000® Index addition. ASTS shows the market's willingness to richly value space companies aiming at vast terrestrial markets — here, global mobile coverage.Velo3D, Inc. (NASDAQ: VELO) provides metal additive-manufacturing systems that produce complex, production-grade parts across defense, space, and aerospace markets — a reminder that a sector-wide repricing also lifts the specialized manufacturers beneath the headline launch and satellite names. With first-quarter 2026 revenue up 48% year-over-year and a multi-year defense logistics contract, Velo3D anchors the production-and-supply-chain layer of the orbital economy. These companies are cited to illustrate the breadth of the space sector and do not imply any partnership, endorsement, affiliation, or comparable financial performance; they vary widely in scale and maturity.Starfighters' Place on the YardstickStarfighters Space approaches orbit from an angle unlike any of these peers. It operates what it calls the world's only flight-ready MACH 2+ supersonic aircraft fleet at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, pursuing an air-launch model in which a fast, high-flying aircraft gives a launch vehicle a head start in altitude and velocity — with the runway responsiveness and reusability that an aircraft, rather than a fixed pad, can offer. As a newly public and newly indexed company, it is exactly the sort of differentiated name that draws fresh eyes when a sector-wide repricing is underway. CEO Tim Franta described the Russell inclusion as an important milestone reflecting growing awareness of the company's differentiated platform.As always, perspective matters: Starfighters is an early-stage, small-cap company with a volatile share history, and a benchmark set by a trillion-dollar peer raises expectations as much as it raises visibility. The yardstick that lifts sentiment can also expose how far an emerging operator still has to travel. Both arrive at once.Why This Catalyst, Why NowA sector gets re-rated when something forces the market to confront it whole — and a record-scale IPO is one of the most powerful forcing events there is. Until now, the space category lacked a large, liquid, public anchor; valuations leaned on private marks and a scattering of smaller listed names too varied to set a standard. Pricing a flagship of this magnitude changes that instantly. The most-scrutinized space business on earth gets a visible, market-cleared multiple, and every valuation model in the sector must be re-examined against it. The argument-by-analogy era ends; the era of a public benchmark begins.This is precisely why the window around a mega-listing produces the sharpest, most broad-based moves in a sector. Sidelined capital finds a credible entry; crowded positions get rebalanced as the investable map widens. Launch providers, satellite operators, infrastructure suppliers, and specialists all get caught in the same wave of re-pricing. The investors who navigate it best tend to look past the giant's opening print and toward how the surge of attention redistributes across the names surrounding it.From Specialist Bet to Mainstream HoldingThe deeper shift is structural and durable. Reporting around the SpaceX offering has highlighted an unusually large planned retail allocation — an intent to place shares with ordinary investors rather than reserving them almost entirely for big institutions. Even setting aside the precise mechanics, the message is clear: the sector's flagship is being framed as a broadly owned, mainstream stock. Pair that with index inclusion pulling smaller space names into benchmark funds, and the destination is unmistakable — space is migrating from specialist mandates and venture rounds into everyday portfolios, index products, and retirement accounts.Mainstream ownership reshapes the sector's economics. It deepens liquidity, widens shareholder bases, and elevates the entire category's profile, which makes emerging names easier to discover, research, and finance. When the sector's giant becomes a household holding, the ceiling rises for every credible company beneath it. That is the compounding dividend of a watershed listing: it does not merely value one business — it enlarges the audience and the capital pool for the whole field.A Reference Point for a GenerationWhen SpaceX prints its price, the space sector inherits something it has never had — a public, market-set valuation at its core, a number every other company can be weighed against. Combined with the broadest U.S. index simultaneously absorbing space names into trillions of tracked dollars, the message is unmistakable: the orbital economy is now being valued in the open, by the whole market, all at once. The yardstick is here. What investors do with it will shape the sector's next decade.CONTINUED … Learn more about Starfighters Space, Inc. at:

The Day the Market Puts a Price on the Final FrontierJune 11, 2026 8:45 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of Starfighters Space, Inc.When the sector's largest company sets its price, every other space stock suddenly has a number to be measured against. That reckoning is happening now.Baystreet.ca News Commentary CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., June 11, 2026 /CNW/ -- Markets run on price discovery, and there is no more dramatic example than the moment a long-private giant finally tells the world what it thinks it is worth. As reported, that moment arrives for SpaceX around now, with the company's initial public offering expected to price ahead of its Nasdaq debut. The number it lands on will not just value one company — it will recalibrate how investors value an entire sector, because for the first time the orbital economy will have a public, market-cleared anchor at its center. That repricing is landing on a sector that public markets have only just begun to formally embrace. Just days ago, the broad-market Russell 3000® Index confirmed it is adding commercial-space names in its 2026 reconstitution — including Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE: FJET), effective June 29, 2026 — a structural signal that space has grown large enough to register on the market's broadest screens. The pricing of SpaceX and the indexing of its smaller peers are two halves of the same story: capital is assigning real, public value to space at a pace and scale the sector has never experienced.Putting a Number on the UntouchableFor most of its life, SpaceX could only be valued through the narrow window of private funding rounds and secondary sales — numbers visible to a select few. Its public offering changes that overnight. Having filed its public S-1 and applied to list on Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX, the company is reported to be pricing its shares around $135, at a valuation measured in the trillions of dollars, with a raise that at the upper end would stand among the largest in the history of public markets. (All figures are as reported and remain subject to final pricing.) Much of the case rests on Starlink, the satellite-broadband arm estimated to drive the majority of company revenue.The significance for everyone else is the benchmark effect. Once the market sets a public price on the sector's flagship, every other space company is implicitly measured against it — on growth, on margins, on the multiple investors are willing to pay for a slice of the orbital economy. Some names will look cheap by comparison; others expensive. But all of them gain something they lacked before: a reference point. Price discovery at the top cascades down through the whole category.A Sector Being Valued in Real TimeThe clearest evidence that this is a sector-wide repricing, not a one-company event, is how broadly capital has been moving across listed space names — spanning space stations, direct-to-phone satellites, Earth observation, and the advanced manufacturing that makes missions possible. Four names map that breadth.CONTINUED … Learn more about Starfighters Space, Inc. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/fjet-landingVoyager Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: VOYG) has become a centerpiece of the 'space has never been hotter' narrative. The defense-and-space company is developing Starlab, a commercial successor to the International Space Station, and recently agreed to acquire lunar-delivery specialist Astrobotic in a deal valued at up to $300 million to deepen its Moon-economy exposure. With analysts raising targets and management raising guidance, Voyager illustrates how quickly the market is re-rating credible space-infrastructure stories.AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS) is pursuing one of the sector's boldest ideas: a satellite network that connects directly to ordinary, unmodified smartphones, in partnership with major carriers. With a North American spectrum settlement and its own pending addition to the Russell 1000® Index, ASTS shows how the market is willing to assign substantial value to space companies attacking enormous terrestrial end-markets — in its case, global mobile connectivity.Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL) operates one of the largest Earth-observation satellite fleets in the world, selling imagery and analytics to agriculture, government, mapping, and defense customers. As a data-and-analytics business built on space hardware, Planet represents the recurring-revenue, information-services layer of the orbital economy — a different and increasingly valued way to monetize space.Velo3D, Inc. (NASDAQ: VELO) supplies metal additive-manufacturing systems used to build mission-critical components for space, aviation, and defense programs — a reminder that the repricing sweeping the sector reaches the specialized manufacturers behind the hardware, not just the launch and satellite names. After posting first-quarter 2026 revenue up 48% year-over-year and reaching a positive gross-margin inflection, Velo3D represents the production-and-supply-chain layer of the orbital economy. These companies are referenced to illustrate the breadth of the space sector and do not imply any partnership, endorsement, affiliation, or comparable financial performance; they differ widely in size and stage.Where Starfighters Sits in the RepricingStarfighters Space brings a model that looks like none of the above. The company operates what it describes as the world's only flight-ready MACH 2+ supersonic aircraft fleet from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, pursuing air-launch — releasing a vehicle from a fast, high-flying aircraft so the launch system inherits altitude and speed, with the runway responsiveness and reusability an aircraft platform implies. As a freshly public, recently indexed company, it is precisely the kind of differentiated niche name that a sector-wide repricing tends to surface, as investors hunt for exposure beyond the obvious giants. CEO Tim Franta framed the Russell inclusion as a milestone reflecting growing awareness of that differentiated platform.The caution is the same one that applies to any emerging name: Starfighters is early-stage and small-cap, its shares have been volatile, and a benchmark anchor set by a trillion-dollar peer cuts both ways — it can lift sentiment, but it also raises the bar for what investors expect operators to deliver. The opportunity and the scrutiny arrive together.Why the Timing Is the Whole StorySectors do not get repriced on a random Tuesday. They get repriced when a catalyst forces the market to look at an entire category with fresh eyes — and the SpaceX pricing is exactly that kind of forcing event. For years, valuing a space company meant arguing by analogy, because the sector lacked a large, liquid, public reference point. Private marks were stale and selective; public space names were too small or too varied to anchor the category. The pricing of a trillion-dollar flagship removes that excuse. Suddenly there is a live, visible multiple attached to the most scrutinized space business in the world, and every analyst model in the sector has to be re-run against it.That is why the days around a mega-listing tend to see the sharpest moves across an entire peer group, in both directions. Capital that had been waiting on the sidelines for a credible entry point finds one; capital that had been crowded into a handful of names reallocates as the opportunity set widens. The result is a burst of price discovery that ripples through launch providers, satellite operators, infrastructure suppliers, and niche specialists alike. Investors who understand that dynamic tend to focus less on the giant's first print and more on how the repricing redistributes attention across the names around it.A Sector Pulled Into the MainstreamThere is also a structural dimension that outlasts any single trading session. Reporting on the SpaceX offering has emphasized an unusually large intended retail allocation — a deliberate effort to put shares in the hands of ordinary investors rather than reserving them almost entirely for institutions. Whether or not those specifics hold at pricing, the signal is meaningful: the sector's flagship is being positioned as a broadly owned, mainstream holding, not a closed institutional club. That ambition, paired with index inclusion sweeping smaller space names into benchmark funds, points to the same destination — space becoming a category that shows up in everyday portfolios, retirement accounts, and index products, not just venture funds and specialist mandates.For the companies in the sector, mainstream ownership changes the game. It deepens liquidity, broadens the shareholder base, and raises the profile of the entire category — which in turn makes it easier for emerging names to be discovered, researched, and ultimately financed. A rising profile for the sector's giant tends to raise the ceiling for everyone operating credibly beneath it. That is the quiet, compounding benefit of a watershed listing: it does not just value one company; it expands the audience for the whole field.The Number That Reframes EverythingBy the time the week is out, the space sector will have something it has never had: a public, market-set price on its single most important company. That number becomes the gravitational center around which every other valuation in the sector orbits. For investors, the pricing of SpaceX is not the end of the story — it is the moment the whole sector gets a yardstick. And with the broadest U.S. index simultaneously folding space names into trillions in tracked capital, the orbital economy is being measured, valued, and owned by the public market all at once.CONTINUED … Learn more about Starfighters Space, Inc. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/fjet-landingPOWERED BY EAGLE EYETrack the signal, not the noise.Eagle Eye delivers real-time investor intelligence — aggregating social, forum, and news data across the tickers that matter, so you can see what the market is talking about before it moves.Explore it now at Eagle-Eye.devCONTACT:Baystreet.ca

The Space Economy Just Got an On-Ramp to Wall StreetJune 10, 2026 11:49 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Starfighters Space, Inc.For years the most exciting companies in space stayed stubbornly private. That era is ending in a single week — and the way capital reaches the sector may never look the same.Baystreet.ca News Commentary CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- There are two ways a company can find its way into the portfolios of the world's largest investors. The first is the one everyone talks about: a story so compelling that analysts champion it, fund managers buy it, and momentum builds. The second is quieter, more mechanical, and in many ways more powerful — a company simply grows large enough to cross an objective threshold, and the machinery of global index investing pulls it in automatically. This week, the commercial space sector is experiencing both at once, and the combination is turning what was once a niche, venture-funded frontier into a mainstream, publicly investable asset class. The mechanical signal came when Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE: FJET) announced it had been added to the broad-market Russell 3000® Index, effective when U.S. markets open on June 29, 2026, as part of the first 2026 Russell reconstitution. The narrative signal — louder, and arriving the very same week — is the long-awaited public debut of SpaceX, the company that more than any other came to define the modern space age while remaining tantalizingly out of public reach. Taken together, they mark something larger than any single stock: the space economy is being wired directly into the plumbing of public markets.Why Index Inclusion Is More Than a TrophyMost catalysts that move a young stock depend on persuasion. Index inclusion does not. Membership in the Russell indexes is determined primarily through objective market-capitalization rankings and style attributes — not a committee weighing a company's prospects. A company is either large enough on the measurement date, April 30 this year, or it is not. Clearing that screen has compounding consequences: inclusion in the Russell 3000® brings automatic membership in either the large-cap Russell 1000® or the small-cap Russell 2000®, plus the relevant style indexes, and with it the attention of the index funds and benchmarked managers that track them.The scale of that gravitational field is hard to overstate. According to data as of mid-2025, roughly $12.2 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell U.S. indexes. And this year's reconstitution was unusually expansive: FTSE Russell reported the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000® rose about 29%, from $58.4 trillion to $75.6 trillion, as of the April 30 rank day. When the index expands and is recut, room opens at the threshold for companies that have grown into the size band — and capital markets have been notably receptive to space and defense names. For Starfighters, a company that completed its IPO only in December 2025, arriving on one of the world's most-followed benchmarks inside its first seven months as a public company is an unusually fast trip from the listing bell to the index card.CONTINUED … Learn more about Starfighters Space, Inc. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/fjet-profile/The Capstone: SpaceX Comes to MarketIf Russell inclusion is the on-ramp, the SpaceX IPO is the eighteen-wheeler about to merge onto the highway. After filing its public S-1 prospectus in May 2026 and applying to list on Nasdaq under the symbol SPCX, the company widely regarded as the most important private space enterprise in history is, as reported, on the cusp of its market debut later this week, with pricing expected imminently. The figures attached to it are staggering: reporting has pointed to a share price around $135 and a valuation measured in the trillions of dollars, with a raise that, if achieved at the high end, would rank among the largest initial public offerings ever completed. (These figures are as reported and remain subject to final pricing.)The importance for the sector is not really about one stock, however large. It is about what a successful mega-listing does to the category. It gives public investors a direct, liquid way to own the orbital economy's flagship name; it forces a market-clearing price discovery on space assets that until now traded only in private rounds; and it draws a wave of institutional attention toward every adjacent company that offers exposure to the same theme. A rising tide of capital looking for space exposure does not stop at a single ticker — it spreads across the names that make up the rest of the ecosystem.The Ecosystem Riding the WaveTo understand why this is a sector story and not a single-company one, it helps to look at the range of public companies now competing for that institutional attention. Each offers a different lens on where capital is flowing across the modern space landscape.Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ: RKLB) has become the closest thing the public markets have to a SpaceX analogue, and its run reflects it: the stock reached fresh all-time highs around the mid-$140s in 2026, and it has expanded aggressively, including a spacecraft-robotics acquisition that pushes it further toward end-to-end mission capability and even Mars ambitions. Rocket Lab shows how hungry public investors are for a scaled, vertically integrated launch-and-space-systems story they can actually buy.Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ: LUNR) represents the lunar-economy thesis, building landers and services aimed at the renewed global push toward the Moon. As one of the names most associated with commercial lunar delivery, it illustrates how the investable space sector now reaches well beyond Earth orbit — and how richly the market is willing to value companies positioned for NASA-era Moon programs.Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW) anchors the in-space infrastructure and manufacturing layer, supplying components, structures, and capabilities used across satellites and missions. Its strong 2026 performance underscores investor appetite for the "picks-and-shovels" providers that supply the broader build-out rather than any single launch.Velo3D, Inc. (NASDAQ: VELO) rounds out the group from the supply-chain side, providing metal additive-manufacturing systems used to build mission-critical components for space, aviation, and defense programs. After reporting first-quarter 2026 revenue up 48% year-over-year and reaching a positive gross-margin inflection, Velo3D illustrates how the orbital build-out lifts not just launch and satellite names but the specialized manufacturers that supply the hardware behind them. These companies are referenced to illustrate the breadth of the sector, not to imply any partnership, endorsement, affiliation, or comparable financial performance; they span vastly different sizes and stages.Where Starfighters FitsWithin that landscape, Starfighters Space occupies a genuinely differentiated niche. Rather than building rockets or satellites, the company operates what it describes as the world's only flight-ready MACH 2+ supersonic aircraft fleet, flying from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The concept behind air-launch is elegant: releasing a vehicle from an aircraft already moving fast and flying high means the launch system inherits altitude and velocity it would otherwise have to generate itself, and because the platform is an aircraft rather than a fixed pad, it carries the promise of runway-based responsiveness and reusable hardware. "We believe our inclusion in the Russell 3000® Index represents an important milestone in Starfighters Space's evolution as a publicly traded space company," said CEO Tim Franta, framing the event as a reflection of growing awareness of the company's differentiated platform.It is worth being clear-eyed: Starfighters is an early-stage, small-cap company whose shares have been volatile, and index inclusion changes visibility, not fundamentals. The real test ahead is commercial execution, not index mechanics. But the timing places the company inside one of the most powerful currents in the market right now — a sector being institutionalized in real time.A Week That Resets the MapStep back and the picture is striking. In a single week, the broadest benchmark in U.S. equities is formally ingesting space companies, and the sector's defining private giant is stepping onto the public stage. For a decade, owning the frontier of space meant access to private rounds most investors could never reach. That wall is coming down. The question for the rest of the year is no longer whether the space economy is investable — it is which companies, across which layers of the ecosystem, capture the attention now flooding in. The on-ramp is open, and the traffic is just beginning to build.CONTINUED … Learn more about Starfighters Space, Inc. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/fjet-profile/POWERED BY EAGLE EYETrack the signal, not the noise.Eagle Eye delivers real-time investor intelligence — aggregating social, forum, and news data across the tickers that matter, so you can see what the market is talking about before it moves.Explore it now at Eagle-Eye.devCONTACT:

Paret... I wouldn't touch VELO with a 10 foot pole. It's not fundamentally sound, and they have a recent track record of SCREWING over the SH via reverse splits. I've been burned too many times by a R/S to ever go there again. Just talk to anyone who owned shares in VELO before the June 13, 2024 R/S and see how they feel.

This company does not make a profit (negative EPS). This company may eventually pull themselves out of the ditch, but IMO there are safer investments elsewhere.

How high can Velo 3D's stock price be in 5 years if all goes well? What is its potential?

Velo3D Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Financial Results; Unveils Long-Term Capacity Plan Envisioning up to Approximately 400 Production SystemsMarch 24, 2026 4:05 PM
PR Newswire (US)

Full-year 2025 Revenue of $46 millionBacklog of $31 million as of December 31, 2025Expects 2026 revenue between $60 million and $70 millionExpects to turn EBITDA positive in the second half of 2026Announces demand-driven capacity plan envisioning up to approximately 400 production systems over the next decade, supported by potential asset-backed financing and expanding defense and aerospace program portfolioFREMONT, Calif., March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Velo3D, Inc. (Nasdaq: VELO) ("Velo3D" or the "Company"), a leader in additive manufacturing ("AM") technology known for transforming aerospace and defense supply chains through world-class metal AM, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. 







Recent Business DevelopmentsQualified as the first additive manufacturing vendor to support the U.S. Army's Ground Vehicle Systems Center qualification initiative, accelerating AM adoption for ground combat vehicle components.Entered a Cooperative Research & Development Agreement (CRADA) with U.S. Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center, advancing additive manufacturing solutions to address critical defense supply chain challenges.Secured a contract from the Department of War valued at $32.6 million to support Project FORGE, prototyping and qualifying AM components to eliminate defense manufacturing bottlenecks.Secured a multi-year $11.5 million full rate production Rapid Production Solutions ("RPS") contract from a key U.S. defense prime contractor to supply essential components for a national security program.Enabled Intergalactic, a GE Aerospace company, to manufacture IN718 microtube heat exchanger headers for an accelerated aviation program timeline, going from design to printed parts in weeks using Velo3D's Rapid Production Solutions (RPS) offering and Sapphire XC platform.Raised $30 million through a private placement of common stock, led by institutional investors to support growth, capital expenditures and expanded RPS demand.Completed an aggregated $15 million debt to equity conversion, thereby reducing debt by ~60% and substantially deleveraging the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet."We achieved double-digit revenue growth in 2025, reflecting strong demand for our Rapid Production Solutions," said Mr. Arun Jeldi, CEO of Velo3D. "Importantly, we set a new record for bookings in the fourth quarter, and with a robust backlog, we entered 2026 with tremendous momentum. Key initiatives, including the Department of War contract, multi-year defense RPS contract and adoption by the U.S. Army's Ground Vehicle Systems Center, are accelerating our impact across defense and aerospace supply chains. Supported by private placement financing, debt-to-equity conversions that reduced outstanding debt by 60% and continued supply chain optimization, we believe we are well positioned to drive growth and deliver long-term value as we scale our operations globally.""Demand signals across the market are strong and clear, with accelerating interest in our Rapid Production Solutions and large-format additive manufacturing capabilities," said Mr. Jeldi. "The defense sector is evolving rapidly, and as programs move from development into production and customers focus on resilient, localized supply chains, expanding our production capacity and capabilities will be critical to meeting this demand and driving the company's growth. As individual programs scale, in some cases growing from a single production system to multiple systems within months, the compounding effect on capacity requirements is significant."Mr. Jeldi added, "Based on current demand trajectories and our expanding program portfolio, we have developed a long-term capacity plan envisioning up to approximately 400 production systems, ramping over the next decade, subject to securing additional financing and continued program growth. This is a practical, demand-driven buildout: as contracts grow and new programs come online, each drives incremental capacity requirements, creating a compounding growth profile. To support this expansion, we expect to raise additional capital in the near term. As an asset-rich operation, our production systems are well-suited to asset-backed debt financing, enabling us to scale our fleet with minimal dilution to shareholders. We are also exploring potential government-backed lending programs and other non-dilutive funding sources to further support capacity buildout. In addition, we are considering selective M&A opportunities in 2026 that could complement our organic growth strategy, accelerate our expansion into key defense and aerospace programs and strengthen our supply chain, particularly in feedstock and metal powder. Any equity capital raised would be targeted toward workforce expansion and operational infrastructure rather than equipment, keeping dilution low relative to the significant long-term value this growth is expected to generate. We believe this approach will allow us to scale operations, invest in manufacturing capacity and continue delivering the speed, quality and reliability our customers require for mission-critical applications."($ in Millions, except percentages and per-share data)4th Quarter 20254th Quarter 2024FY 2025FY 2024GAAP revenue$9.4$12.6$46.0$41.0GAAP gross margin(73.6) %(3.5) %(16.1) %(5.1) %GAAP net loss1($21.9)($21.3)($71.4)($69.9)GAAP net loss per share - basic and diluted($1.03)($12.37)($4.33)($82.46)

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release should not be considered as the sole measure of the Company's performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per diluted share exclude stock-based compensation expense, loss on warrant cancellation, fair value adjustments for the Company's warrants and earnout liabilities, impairment of equipment subject to operating lease, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt and non routine inventory adjustments for excess and obsolete inventory.Summary of Fourth Quarter 2025 Results Total Revenue was $9.4 million. 3D Printer and parts revenue decreased 5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by product mix and the number of systems sold. While system sales are expected to remain the primary driver of revenue in 2026, the Company anticipates that, under its new go-to-market strategy, its RPS parts production business will contribute an increasing share of revenue. Gross margin for the fourth quarter was (73.6)% compared to (3.5)% in the fourth quarter of 2024. This change was primarily driven by the write-down of approximately $7.0 million of obsolete inventory recorded during the quarter and production volume delays related to the government shutdown during the fourth quarter of 2025. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter were $14.9 million compared to $20.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expense of $1.5 million, were $13.3 million, down from $18.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter was ($21.9) million compared to ($21.3) million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter was ($11.6) million compared to ($14.8) million in the three months ended December 31, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was ($10.0) million compared to ($11.0) million in the fourth quarter of 2024. For more information regarding the Company's non-GAAP financial measures, see "Non-GAAP Financial Information" below.Summary of Full Year 2025 Results Revenue was $46.0 million. 3D Printer and parts revenue increased 54% compared to 2024, driven by product mix and the number of systems sold. Gross margin for 2025 was (16.1)% compared to (5.1)% in 2024. This change was primarily driven by the write-down of approximately $7.0 million of obsolete inventory recorded during the fourth quarter. The Company expects gross margin to continue to improve going forward as historical factors become a less significant driver of margin and as a result of operational efficiencies and an anticipated ramp-up of its RPS business. Operating expenses for 2025 were $47.5 million compared to $76.8 million in 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expense of $7.5 million, were $40.1 million, down from $66.5 million in 2024. GAAP net loss for 2025 was ($71.4) million compared to ($69.9) million in 2024. Non-GAAP net loss was ($41.3) million compared to ($79.4) million in 2024.

The Company's solution unlocks a wide breadth of design freedom and enables customers in space exploration, aviation, power generation, energy, and semiconductor to innovate the future in their respective industries. Using Velo3D, these customers can now build mission-critical metal parts that were previously impossible to manufacture. The fully integrated solution includes the Flow print preparation software, the Sapphire family of printers, and the Assure quality control system—all of which are powered by Velo3D's Intelligent Fusion manufacturing process. The Company delivered its first Sapphire system in 2018 and has been a strategic partner to innovators such as  Honeywell, Honda, Chromalloy, and Lam Research.

FREMONT, Calif., March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Velo 3D, Inc. (Nasdaq: VELO) ("Velo3D" or the "Company"), a leader in additive manufacturing ("AM") technology known for transforming aerospace and defense supply chains through world-class metal AM, announced today that it will release its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 financial results after the market close on March 24, 2026.







The company will host an earnings conference call and webcast to discuss its financial results at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time / 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time the same day. The U.S. dial-in for the call is 877-704-2771 / +1 201-689-8732. Please ask to be joined to the Velo3D call. The live webcast of the call can be accessed from the Events page of the Investor Relations section of Velo3D's website at ir.velo3d.com, along with the company's earnings press release and presentation which will be posted prior to the start of the conference call.About Velo3D:Velo3D is a metal 3D printing technology company. 3D printing—also known as additive manufacturing (AM)—has a unique ability to improve the way high-value metal parts are built. However, legacy metal AM has been greatly limited in its capabilities since its invention almost 30 years ago. This has prevented the technology from being used to create the most valuable and impactful parts, restricting its use to specific niches where the limitations were acceptable.Velo3D has overcome these limitations so engineers can design and print the parts they want. The company's solution unlocks a wide breadth of design freedom and enables customers in space exploration, aviation, power generation, energy, and semiconductor to innovate the future in their respective industries. Using Velo3D, these customers can now build mission-critical metal parts that were previously impossible to manufacture. The fully integrated solution includes the Flow print preparation software, the Sapphire® family of printers, and the Assure quality control system—all of which are powered by Velo3D's Intelligent Fusion® manufacturing process. The company delivered its first Sapphire system in 2018 and has been a strategic partner to innovators such as Honeywell, Honda, Chromalloy, and Lam Research. Velo3D has been named as one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies for 2024.

(NASDAQ: VELO), a leading additive manufacturing technology company for mission-critical metal components has been awarded a multi-year full rate production contract from a key U.S. defense contractor, valued at $11.5 million in support of a high-profile national security program.
