See our latest analysis for Redwire.
These European contracts and the new UK defence hub come as Redwire’s share price sits at $9.29, with a 90 day share price return of a 15.39% decline but a very large 3 year total shareholder return that suggests long term holders have already seen a strong move.

So with Redwire trading at $9.29, sitting on a 90 day share price return decline of 15.39% but a very large 3 year total shareholder return, are you looking at a reset entry point or a market that is already pricing in future growth?
Most Popular Narrative: 30% Undervalued
At $9.29, the most followed narrative pegs Redwire’s fair value at $13.28, applying a specific growth and margin path that differs from the recent 90 day share price weakness.
The rapid proliferation of commercial satellites and upcoming public/private low Earth orbit projects continues to build demand for Redwire’s advanced in-space manufacturing, deployable structures, and subsystems, supporting multi-year visibility on high-margin product sales and recurring earnings.
Curious what earnings profile and revenue ramp this narrative is baking in to reach that fair value and future multiple assumptions? The full narrative spells out the growth mix, margin shift and time horizon behind that $13.28 figure and shows how they tie those projections back using a 7.77% discount rate and a richer future earnings multiple than many peers.
