Redwire Corp. (RDW) saw its stock price soar 5.03% during intraday trading on Tuesday, marking a significant rebound for the space infrastructure company.

The move comes after a sharp sell-off on Monday, where Redwire and other space stocks dropped an average of 11%. According to market analysis, a Jefferies downgrade of Redwire to Hold from Buy catalyzed profit-taking, following exceptional gains in May where the sector advanced an average of 80%.

Investor sentiment towards space stocks remains volatile but buoyed by the impending SpaceX initial public offering (IPO), which is expected to raise a record amount of cash and validate the growing commercial space sector. This overarching optimism is driving turbulence and renewed interest in related companies, contributing to Tuesday's intraday recovery.
