Space analytics company HawkEye 360 set its initial public offering (IPO) price at $26 on Wednesday. The Herndon, Virginia-based company sold 16 million shares, which is expected to raise about $416 million. HawkEye is expected to begin trading on Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "HAWK." A Strategic Move The offering consists entirely of newly issued common shares being sold by HawkEye 360. The company said the $416 million figure is before underwriting fees and other costs tied to the deal. Underwriters also received a 30-day ability to buy up to 2.4 million additional shares at the IPO price, minus underwriting discounts and commissions. That provision could expand the share count sold if exercised. The offering was underwritten by Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, RBC Capital Markets, Jefferies and BofA Securities.

The White House rolled out the National Initiative for American Space Nuclear Power, SpaceX's potential record setting IPO is capturing massive investor attention, and NASA's Artemis II mission successfully brought astronauts back from deep space for the first time in more than five decades.
