Trade Alert: To The Moon

President Trump says we're going back. Some space stocks are already on their way.

President Trump announced last week that his administration will accelerate U.S. space and defense initiatives, including a renewed push toward a return to the Moon as part of a broader strategy around satellite infrastructure and national security–related communications. That announcement sparked a sharp rally across the space complex, including a nearly 18% move higher in Rocket Lab (RKLB 0.00%↑) on the day.

We already have an open trade in Rocket Lab, which first appeared in Portfolio Armor’s Top Names list several months ago. As regular readers now know, our Top Names are securities that have historically gone on to outperform the S&P 500 (SPY) on an actual-return basis, and this list remains a primary source of new trade ideas.

Another space- and defense-communications name appeared in Friday night’s Top Names rankings, and we’re placing a trade on it today.

Alongside space, the AI and data-center buildout has been another key theme for us this year. An industrial company benefiting directly from that buildout also appeared in Friday night’s Top Names, and we’re placing a trade on that name as well.

Finally, we’re adding exposure to a picks-and-shovels play in biotech, tied to novel neurological treatments. We opened a trade in this name last week, but given its recent strength, there’s a chance the upside on that earlier structure could be capped sooner than we’d like. Today’s trade adds uncapped upside exposure extending nearly a full year, while keeping risk defined. This idea comes from our Multibaggers list, which for newer readers is a curated set of X accounts run by analysts and traders with documented histories of identifying stocks that have gone on to deliver 100%+ gains over the past year.
