Mynaric was, and still may be, a space tech darling of European Space Stocks because it is a specific and crucial part of the space value chain: Laser communications. Listings on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and NASAQ have given it a notable space stock prestige but headlines such as „Mynaric stock tanks after space lasers company slashes revenue guidance, announces CFO departure“ definitely sharpens a space investor’s risk appetite, and was followed by a sharp share price decline.
As you can see by the accompanying share price chart, there was a recovery, which might be a reversion to real value, and also including a discount for legal issues ahead, which at time of writing, have not been resolved.
Mynaric has caught the attention of many European space investors, including some European tech investors; hopefully giving reason for more usually conservative GmbH and AG stock corporations to show an increasing interest in, and investing in the European space tech sector.
