Investors will be paying close attention to any updates on the company’s lunar missions and new contracts. In 2024, Intuitive Machines successfully completed its first Moon landing with the Nova-C lander—the first U.S. landing since 1972. The company is also preparing for its fourth lunar mission in 2025 by partnering with SpaceX. On top of that, it recently received a $10 million grant from the Texas Space Commission to help develop new technology like Earth re-entry vehicles and microgravity biomanufacturing systems, which could create new revenue opportunities.
While the company has made big progress, there are still some risks. Indeed, Intuitive Machines has a choppy record when it comes to beating earnings estimates, as it has only done so four times during the past eight quarters. For this report, investors will be watching for signs of stronger financial performance, updates on future Moon missions, and progress in adding new sources of income.
