SpaceX IPO hype is lifting the whole space sector — ride the coattails of smalle
Created
Thesis
When a massive company goes public, it shines a spotlight on its entire industry. SpaceX is debuting at a $1.8 trillion valuation, and investors who can't get shares in the IPO are looking to buy into similar companies to ride the wave. We are already seeing space stocks surge on this halo effect. By buying smaller space and satellite companies, traders can capture the spillover excitement without having to fight the chaos of the IPO itself.
Strategy approach
Build a momentum strategy for a basket of space and satellite stocks (RKTB, LUNR, ASTS). Enter long on the daily timeframe if the stock's 5-day return is greater than 10% and volume is 200% above the 20-day average. Exit the position if the stock closes below its 10-day moving average.
