Redwire (RDW) Loses 12.5% After 5-Month High

We recently published 10 Big Names Stumbling Hard. Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW) was one of the worst performers on Monday.

Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW) dropped its share prices by 12.46 percent on Monday as investors resorted to profit-taking after jumping to a five-month high in the previous session.

Last Friday, the stock climbed to as high as $13.74—a level it last touched in August 2025—as investors took heart from President Donald Trump’s announcement of progress in the US government’s Golden Dome ambitions.

The Golden Dome, initially known as the Iron Dome of America, is an initiative of the Trump administration that aims to combine a range of capabilities to create a “system of systems” to protect the United States from “aerial attacks from any foe.”

Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW), for its part, announced its full support of the initiative, saying that it is exploring multiple solutions throughout the technology value chain, leveraging existing capabilities to help defend the United States.

Among its products are the SabreSat Orbital Drone—designed to detect, identify, and potentially mitigate threats; space-based sensor capabilities offering resiliency, timely threat detection, and custody; as well as Digitally Engineered Mission Systems and Integration (DEMSI) agent-based digital engineering environment, which combines commercially available systems and domain engineering tools for high fidelity simulation.

For the Golden Dome, Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW) said that DEMSI could enable end-to-end architecture assessment across land and space for threat mitigation.
