Intuitive Machines Sees Revenue Growth Despite Setbacks

Intuitive Machines reported fourth-quarter revenue of $54.66 million, a 79% increase from the previous year, although it fell short of analysts' expectations of $57.57 million. Despite setbacks from its recent moon mission failure, which saw shares drop significantly, the company's stock surged by 20% due to new contracts and an increased backlog. Intuitive Machines has secured significant contracts for direct-to-earth services, crucial for NASA's Artemis program, contributing to a backlog that has reached $328.3 million. The company forecasts 2025 revenue to be between $250 million and $300 million, with expectations of achieving positive adjusted EBITDA by 2026. CEO Steve Altemus highlighted the expansion into new markets beyond NASA, despite a financial health score labeled as 'weak performance' by InvestingPro. The focus remains on leveraging their proven technologies and expertise to propel growth in the space technology sector.
