Thematic (Sector/Industry)

The interest shown by the richest and some of the most influential investors and the success of public-private partnerships in space programs are a reflection of an industry poised for strong growth over the next several years.  The space-tech landscape covers various technologies, but in this note, we focus only on the cosmonautic vehicle and propulsion systems. 
The current top players in propulsion are Ariane Group (<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/airbus-group-se" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:21380:1" rel="noopener">Airbus Group SE (AIR FP)</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/safran-sa" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:21540:1" rel="noopener">Safran SA (SAF FP)</a> joint venture),<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/aerojet-rocketdyne-holdings" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:19120:1" rel="noopener">Aerojet Rocketdyne (AJRD US)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/boeing-co" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:11957:1" rel="noopener">Boeing Co (BA US)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/raytheon-company" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:6453:1" rel="noopener">Raytheon Company (RTN US)</a>, &amp; <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/united-technologies-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:12750:1" rel="noopener">United Technologies (UTX US)</a>.

The two new preeminent private players SpaceX and Blue Origin don't feature in the top five players listed above, we discuss the reasons later in the report. 
Unlike e-commerce or software-driven startups, space vehicles and propulsion are relatively capital intensive. So unless the start-ups are led by founders with deep pockets (like Blue Origin) or founders with the ability to raise innovation capital (like SpaceX) it is best to stick to the established names and hope they evolve their business model to adjust for the democratization and marketization of the space industry. That said two private names that screen well are Redwire (vehicles) and Mountain Aerospace Research (propulsion).<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/avio-spa" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:34833:1" rel="noopener">Avio SPA (AVIO IM)</a>is a small-cap listed company in the top ten for propulsion
