9. Redwire (NYSE:RDW)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q3 2024: 7

Redwire (NYSE:RDW) is an aerospace company that develops technologies and satellite components.

The stock has risen sharply so far in 2025 due to its acquisition of Edge Autonomy in a $925 million deal. This is a drone manufacturer, and Redwire plans to pay for the acquisition with $150 million in cash and $775 million in Redwire stock.

Analysts expect this acquisition will immediately boost Redwire’s revenue and EBITDA. They now project combined 2025 revenue of $535 million to $605 million, whereas EBITDA is expected at $70 million to $105 million. This is up massively from Redwire’s standalone 2024 forecast of $310 million in revenue.

Moreover, political catalysts have been in play too. Trump placed a lot of emphasis on Mars exploration in his inaugural address. Redwire could be a major beneficiary of that.

The consensus price target of $16.5 implies 31.02% downside risk.

RDW stock is up 40.38% year-to-date.
