Stoke Space Lands $1B to Build Falcon 9-Class Reusable Rocket
SPCX sits 45% above its 52-week low of $104.83.
Summary
Stoke Space raised $1B in a Series E round led by Point72 Ventures and Spark Capital, valuing the launch startup at $10B. The funding accelerates development of Nova Pathfinder (2027 debut) and Nova Block 2 (2029), a fully reusable rocket with capacity near SpaceX's Falcon 9. This is a significant private-market vote of confidence in a SpaceX alternative, though Stoke remains pre-revenue with execution risk. For public investors, it highlights growing demand for launch capacity beyond SpaceX and Rocket Lab's Neutron.
