- Momentus shares are climbing with conviction. What’s driving MNTS stock higher?
What To Know: The commercial space company on Tuesday announced that it completed environmental testing for its Vigoride-7 orbital service vehicle, making a key milestone for its next launch.
Vigoride-7 is scheduled to launch aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-16 mission no earlier than March 2026, carrying payloads for several customers.
“Completing thermal and vibration testing is a critical milestone for Vigoride-7. These campaigns validate that our spacecraft can withstand the demanding conditions of launch and the space environment, giving our customers confidence in mission success,” said Tom Malko, SVP of Engineering and Operations at Momentus.
Momentus shares are bouncing back from a sharp sell-off on Monday that saw shares nearly get cut in half after the company canceled its special meeting of stockholders and announced a 1-for-17.85 reverse stock split.
The reverse stock split is set to take effect at 5 p.m. ET on Wednesday as every 17.85 shares of common stock are automatically combined into one share. Momentus stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the market open on Thursday.
Momentus said the reverse stock split aims to maintain the company’s compliance with the Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. The company also expects the split to make its stock price more attractive to a broader group of institutional and retail investors.
How To Buy MNTS Stock
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Momentus – be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of possible trading platforms here. Many will allow you to buy “fractional shares,” which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to “go short” a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a stock can be found at this resource. Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading – either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
