Intuitive Machines stock rises 27% after Q4 results

Intuitive Machines' stock is experiencing a significant rise today. The company's share price surged by 27% after it released its quarterly results this morning. Investors were pleased with the company's performance and its outlook for the future. In its Q4 report, Intuitive Machines' revenue grew by 79% compared to last year, reaching $54.7 million. However, the company still posted an operating loss of $13.4 million for the quarter. For the full year, sales reached around $228 million. After a recent capital raise, Intuitive Machines reported having $385 million in cash. For 2025, the company expects sales to be between $250 million and $300 million, which is lower than analysts' average estimate of $342.5 million. Despite this, management shared a positive outlook. They anticipate generating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) on an adjusted basis by the fourth quarter of this year, and expect positive adjusted EBITDA for the entire year in 2026. Additionally, the overall market is performing well today. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite are both up, contributing to the gains made by Intuitive Machines. Investors are optimistic due to news that upcoming tariffs might be more limited than initially expected. This has led to increased buying activity in stocks, particularly among growth stocks that had previously seen declines.
