Top Space Companies (July 2026)

The space economy still runs on more ambition than revenue, and our list of top space companies holds only three names. Planet Labs leads at an MGI of 56, Rocket Lab, a $40B name growing revenue 61% a year, sits at 34, and Satellogic closes it out at 33.

A three-name list with a median MGI of 34 is a statement about the sector: orbital business models are young, and few yet pair real revenue with durable economics. The ordering carries a tension worth noticing, since Planet ranks first despite revenue per share falling 22% a year, while Rocket Lab converts far faster growth into a lower overall score. The full citation-backed analyses explain why.
