The Procure Space ETF (UFO) gained 69% from December 31, 2025, to May 29, 2026, driven mainly by anticipation of a SpaceX IPO potentially valued at $1.5 trillion. The ETF, which tracks 49 space-related companies, also benefited from strong performances by holdings like Rocket Lab and AST SpaceMobile, as well as supportive U.S. space policy and new retail access via Coinbase. However, about 60% of its holdings are pre-profit and the valuation is stretched, making the recent surge event-driven rather than steady growth. Key factors to watch include the timing and valuation of the SpaceX IPO, defense budget allocations for space programs, execution by top holdings, and upcoming index rebalances.
