Long-Term Value

Earlier in December, Sidus Space announced its selection as one of the awardees for the Missile Defense Agency’s Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract with a $151 billion ceiling. This deal, part of the broader Golden Dome missile defense strategy in the U.S., makes Sidus eligible to compete for future task orders. Shortly after, the space company announced a public offering that raised approximately $25 million.

In the past year, Sidus has also been expanding its footprint beyond space satellites, building up for end-to-end space manufacturing, AI-driven data solutions, and space and defense hardware.

The company has also enjoyed a leg up amid the broader move in the space sector, amid SpaceX’s massive IPO chatter and the White House’s push for more lunar exploration, commercial launch services, and sustainable, cost-effective space missions.

Shares of SIDU have gained nearly 3% in the past year.
