Intuitive Machines Stock (LUNR) Gains Momentum as Clear Street Names it Top Idea

Intuitive Machines stock (LUNR) has been rallying strongly in recent weeks, and has been given a further boost that more may be in store for bulls after Clear Street identified the company as a “Top Idea” for 2026. This endorsement, coupled with a maintained “Buy” rating and a price target elevation to $25, underscores confidence in Intuitive Machines' strategic pivot.

The markets are reacting positively to the analyst's view, with the stock demonstrating resilience despite intraday volatility. The stock opened today at $18.285, peaking at an intraday high of $18.67, and dipping to a low of $17.92 early. This recent performance builds on a substantial 56.6% gain over the past month, as bullish sentiment builds.

A key driver behind this positive outlook is Intuitive Machines' acquisition of Lanteris. This strategic move is expected to be accretive to both revenue and adjusted EBITDA, significantly enhancing the company’s capabilities in securing and executing multi-billion-dollar space programs. Analysts see this acquisition as aligning with the increased U.S. focus on lunar exploration and solidifying Intuitive Machines’ position as a next-generation space prime contractor.

Intuitive Machines reported a 21% year-over-year increase in revenue in the second quarter of 2025, reaching $50.3 million. The company also secured a $9.8 million Phase Two contract from a National Security customer to advance its Orbital Transfer Vehicle. Bolstered by a strong cash position of $345 million and no debt, Intuitive Machines is well-capitalized to pursue both organic and inorganic growth opportunities. The company projects full-year 2025 revenue near the low end of prior guidance, with expectations of positive adjusted EBITDA in 2026.
