Space economy infrastructure and satellite constellation buildout

Conviction: 68% · Horizon: 5Y · 2026-04-16
Scale-up space infrastructure can compound through scarce launch and orbital manufacturing capacity

Companies building launch systems, orbital manufacturing, and lunar logistics can benefit from high entry barriers, strategic government demand, and operating leverage as capacity utilization improves.

Instrument Side Target Reason
RKLB Long Rocket Lab combines launch with higher-margin space systems, which creates multiple revenue streams and improves the odds of capturing a larger share of future space infrastructure spending.
RDW Long Redwire is exposed to orbital manufacturing and station infrastructure, where technical complexity and mission-critical integration can support durable contracts and stronger pricing power.
LUNR Long Intuitive Machines is positioned in lunar logistics and cislunar services, and early leadership in that niche could translate into outsized share if recurring public-sector programs expand.
Scale-out satellite networks can monetize connectivity and geospatial data at global scale

Large satellite constellations can build recurring revenue through network effects, broad coverage, and data utility, especially in communications, defense, and earth observation.

Instrument Side Target Reason
ASTS Long Direct-to-device satellite broadband addresses a very large communications market, and successful constellation deployment could unlock powerful recurring economics with global reach.
PL Long Planet Labs can benefit from rising demand for persistent earth observation and analytics, where subscription-like data products can scale faster than the underlying satellite base.
BKSY Long BlackSky is leveraged to time-sensitive geospatial intelligence, a segment where defense and security customers value rapid revisit rates and actionable data more than commodity imagery.
