An upcoming SpaceX IPO could increase investor interest in the space sector, according to Kirk Konert of AE Industrial Partners. He noted strong demand for recent IPOs of Firefly Aerospace and York Space Systems, which were oversubscribed 25 and 20 times, respectively.

The SpaceX IPO, potentially valued over $1.5 trillion, may lead to more IPOs and consolidations among smaller companies. While some see it as beneficial, others warn it may divert attention from smaller firms. AE Industrial Partners also announced acquiring a majority stake in L3Harris Technologies' propulsion business, set to become Rocketdyne.
