Intuitive Machines' stock price plummeted 5.47% during intraday trading on Thursday, reflecting a significant downturn for the space exploration company.
The decline follows news that competitor Lunar Outpost has secured $30 million in funding to accelerate the development of its new Pegasus moon rover. Both companies are vying to become the primary provider of lunar rovers for NASA's Artemis missions, with future contracts potentially worth billions of dollars. The successful capital raise by a direct competitor may have raised investor concerns about Intuitive Machines' positioning in this high-stakes government contract competition.
