Momentus Faces Sector Selloff as SpaceX Valuation News Weighs on MNTS

Jun 4, 2026, 9:57 AM EDT1 sourcesAI-analyzed
Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Sector weakness and SpaceX valuation concerns drive near-term downside across MNTS and peers; unwind of high-profile squeezes increases volatility and can keep prices depressed until a new catalyst appears (e.g., NASA contracts, SpaceX news). Historical examples include bubble-era squeezes that unwind causing rapid, if temporary, drawdowns in related stocks.

AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Momentus (MNTS) shares slid about 22% this week as space equities sag amid SpaceX pre-IPO fatigue and a high-profile short squeeze unwind. The sector-wide pressure outweighed any individual contract wins, with SPCE’s squeeze ending and SpaceX valuation chatter weighing on pure-play space names. The pullback could persist into the near term without fresh catalysts.

  • MNTS fell ~22% this week amid space-sector weakness. Sector rotation weighs on names.
  • SPCE squeeze unwound; intraday high hit $8.90. Close at $4.29.
  • SpaceX valuation news weighs sentiment; targets trimmed to $1.75T.
  • LUNR wins vs. sector drag; two NASA awards noted.
