Redwire stock surged 12.1% after the company announced a multi-year marketing partnership with the Washington Commanders NFL team. The partnership involves military appreciation initiatives and potentially providing drones to film NFL games. The U.S. Air Force has requested $338.8 billion in funding for fiscal 2027, with $71.1 billion allocated to the U.S. Space Force, more than double the FY2026 amount. The budget includes a 70% increase in spending on missile defense to $6.8 billion and a 158% leap in 'space control' to $21.6 billion. Redwire is well-positioned to benefit from this increase, having acquired defense contractor Edge Autonomy last year. The company's involvement in missile defense and space control makes it a potential beneficiary of the increased U.S. Space Force spending.
