Several others, including Planet Labs and Firefly Aerospace are down 40% or more for the month as of Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"intra-article-module\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;intraArticle&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13}\">\n<div class=\"articlePageIntraArticleFullWidth ad-slot-placeholder left-image-intra-ad full-bleed-image-intra-ad intra-ad-rm-bg intra-ad-rm-h\" data-ad-index=\"0\">\n<div class=\"left-image-intra-ad full-bleed-image-intra-ad intra-article-display-ad\">\n<div class=\"displayAdContainer\">\n<div id=\"rectangle4_967c23dc350843f1ba131f9098d9e2bc\" class=\"displayAdWCContainer     \" data-ad=\"&quot;v&quot;:1,&quot;d&quot;:1,&quot;r&quot;:1,&quot;s&quot;:undefined}\" data-anadid=\"759030608\">\n<div id=\"div_utif_rectangle4_967c23dc350843f1ba131f9098d9e2bc\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a class=\"adSlug adChoicesOutside adSlugDisabled\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"adChoicesSpan\">Sponsored<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">Even Rocket Lab which has seen a smattering of good news lately, has been affected by the broader space-sector pressure. Shares fell 5.5% on Thursday, contributing to a 44% decline so far in June.<\/p>\n<p class=\"continue-read-break\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">SpaceX\u2019s public launch on June 12 may have increased interest in the space industry, but it also highlighted the steep valuations associated with some space companies, according to CFRA analyst Keith Snyder. Adding to the volatility for the newly public company, SpaceX shares were down about 1% on Thursday, trading at about $153 a share, slightly above their debut price on the Nasdaq.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">The analyst, who is bullish on Rocket Lab, noted that at one point the company\u2019s shares were trading at about 100 times revenue. That kind of \u201cinsane\u201d valuation, in Snyder\u2019s view, used to be unheard of. It was a large part of the reason he ended up rating SpaceX\u2019s stock a sell.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">\u201cI think there\u2019s a little bit of kind of coming to terms with that in the space sector,\u201d Snyder told MarketWatch. \u201cWhile the growth is there, I think people are starting to realize it\u2019s going to take more time than we thought for this industry to really take off,\u201d and thereby to make some of these valuations justifiable.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">The downturn has also slammed funds following the space industry. The Tuttle Capital Space Industry Income Blast exchange-traded fund is the worst performer, down 47% on a month-to-date basis, per FactSet data. At least five other sector ETFs have dropped at least 30% in June.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">The Procure Space ETF is\u00a0<a class=\"icon none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/a-spacex-investment-coma-is-driving-this-major-space-etf-toward-its-worst-month-in-6-years-91e98ddc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;destination&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:1,&quot;c.t&quot;:7}\">having its worst month in six years<\/a>. The ETF is down by about 30% month to date, putting it on track to end June with a greater loss than it recorded in March 2020, when it fell 28.8% as the COVID-19 pandemic began, according to Dow Jones Market Data.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">\u201cAll space ETFs are feeling the \u2018investment coma\u2019 from the pre-launch fear of missing out on SpaceX to the reality now of owning a very volatile space stock,\u201d Micah Walter-Range, president of space consulting firm Caelus Partners and a contributor to the index behind UFO, said in an emailed statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\"><strong>Read:\u00a0<\/strong><a class=\"icon none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/rocket-lab-lockheed-martin-among-the-partners-in-spacexs-military-space-laser-project-1b8d61e2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;destination&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:1,&quot;c.t&quot;:7}\">Rocket Lab, Lockheed Martin among the partners in SpaceX\u2019s military space-laser project<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">In the future, the sector outlook could look brighter, according to experts. However, that will likely take some time, especially as SpaceX\u2019s stock is expected to demonstrate considerable volatility for weeks to come as insiders exit lockup periods and become able to sell their shares.<\/p>\n<div class=\"intra-article-module\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;intraArticle&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13}\">\n<div class=\"articlePageIntraArticleFullWidth left-image-intra-ad
