Intuitive Machines, Inc. Class A Common Stock (LUNR) last closed at $14.81, in the lower half of its 52-week range of $7.78–$46.75. Composite market sentiment across 1 analysis is neutral (-1 on a −100 to +100 scale), as of Sep 8, 2026.

## What the data says

At $14.81, the stock sits in the lower fifth of its 52-week range of $7.78 to $46.75 — about 68% below that high and roughly 90% above that low. A band in which the high is six times the low describes a stock that has been repriced sharply in both directions inside a single year, and a beta of 1.85 puts its typical daily move well above the broader market's.

The roughly $2.4 billion market capitalization is not being set against current earnings, because there are none to set it against. Forward P/E is negative, so the market is not expecting profitability over the coming year, and price-to-book is negative as well, meaning liabilities exceed assets and the usual asset-based comparison does not produce a usable number. The profit margin of about -26.6% shows the company currently spends more than a quarter more than it takes in on each dollar of revenue. Against that, revenue grew roughly 310% year over year — the figure carrying the valuation is top-line expansion rather than profit.

The recent news flow is mostly company-specific and clustered around early September 2026: coverage of a $1.8 billion backlog and what it might mean for 2026 results, a 46.4% decline over three months, the tension between accelerating growth and a high valuation, and a manifest of seven NASA missions. Around that sits a sector layer — an additional $600 million of NASA funding for Moon missions, a $1 billion Air Force contract discussed in the context of space stocks generally, and a side-by-side with AST SpaceMobile — so the government funding backdrop for the wider space sector is a recurring frame in how the company is being written about. One item, a broker adding U.S. stock and ETF CFDs, concerns product availability rather than the business itself.
