Top Space Stocks To Research - April 24th

Alphabet, Boeing, Berkshire Hathaway, United Rentals, GE Aerospace, Microchip Technology, and Amphenol are the seven Space stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Space stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose core products, services, or revenue streams are tied to the space economy—such as satellite manufacturing and operations, launch services, space-based communications, Earth-observation data, and emerging pursuits like in-orbit servicing or lunar exploration. Because the industry is capital-intensive, technologically complex, and often reliant on government contracts, space stocks can exhibit higher risk and volatility than the broader market, but they also offer exposure to long-term growth trends in global connectivity, data analytics, and commercial space activities. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Space stocks within the last several days.
