Redwire stock surges 190% YTD but faces risks from high valuation and insider selling at $22.
Redwire, a space and defense contractor, has seen its stock price soar 190% year to date, driven by strong contract wins and revenue growth of nearly 58% in Q1 FY2026. Despite a record backlog and expanding gross margins, the company remains unprofitable with significant net losses and negative cash flow, with profitability not expected until 2029. The stock trades well above analyst targets and faces risks from a $350 million at-the-market share offering and heavy insider selling. Investors are advised to hold and wait for a price pullback or signs of profitability before buying, as the current valuation appears speculative and detached from fundamentals.
