- AST SpaceMobile missed Q2 earnings but held its 2026 revenue guidance
- Rocket Lab posted a 28% weekly gain, now on a seven-session winning streak

Space stocks had a strong week as SpaceX led a recovery and several sector names posted big gains.
SpaceX dropped sharply after its earnings report, but bounced back on Friday with a 16% surge. The stock crossed back above its 21-day exponential moving average and was trading around $130 on Monday.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., SPCX
Analysts who follow the stock say the price action is hard to ignore. One price target puts SpaceX at $165 by end of Q3, a roughly 24% gain from current levels.
Rocket Lab and Voyager Lead the Pack
Rocket Lab extended its winning streak to seven sessions last week, gaining 28% over that stretch. The stock is up 20% year to date and has been a standout performer in the space sector.
Voyager Technologies had an even bigger week, jumping 71% in a single week after breaking above a key technical level at $37.02. That move was not a typo. The stock is now up more than 60% in 2026.
Both companies are seen as part of a broader group that includes launch services, spacecraft systems, and satellite communications.
AST SpaceMobile Misses but Holds Guidance
AST SpaceMobile reported earnings after the bell on Monday and missed expectations. However, the company kept its 2026 revenue guidance in place, which gave investors some reassurance.
The stock was trading around $69 heading into the report. It had shown some technical recovery signals in recent weeks, including bullish RSI divergence and what analysts described as a potential double-bottom base forming.
A bullish island reversal was completed on August 4 with an 11% gap higher. That came after a tough stretch that included a death cross in late July, when the 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average.
One analyst believes the stock could retest the $125 level by year-end, which would represent a 76% gain from where it was trading before earnings.
The space sector overall remains one of the more closely watched groups in the market. Stocks like Honeywell Aerospace and RTX also appear on screener lists for the highest dollar trading volume among space-related names.
SpaceX and AST SpaceMobile remain the two most discussed names, given their direct exposure to satellite communications and launch activity.
Volume in SpaceX picked up over its last four sessions, with short covering seen as a possible factor in the recovery. Analysts say the stock needs to hold above $121 to keep the bullish case intact.
