Redwire Corp's stock fell 9.38% as it hit a 5-day low, despite reporting a 51% revenue growth in Q3.
The company's revenue surged to $103.4 million year-over-year, but this growth fell short of market expectations, leading to a significant stock pullback. Additionally, while Redwire secured a $44 million contract with DARPA for docking systems, rising operating expenses resulted in a wider-than-expected loss, reflecting ongoing challenges in cost management.
Despite the revenue growth and contract wins, the stock's decline indicates cautious market sentiment regarding Redwire's future performance, particularly in light of the broader market's strength.
