Has Intuitive Machines Run Too Far on Sales?

The P/S ratio is a useful anchor for Intuitive Machines because the business is still working through losses and cash burn. On this yardstick, the stock trades on a P/S of about 3.5x, which is slightly below the broader Aerospace & Defense industry at roughly 3.7x and above the peer average of around 2.6x. That mix indicates the market assigns the company a richer valuation than many closer comparables, yet not a premium to the sector as a whole.

The fair P/S level implied by the tailored model comes in below the current 3.5x, so within this framework Intuitive Machines screens as overvalued. The fresh NASA FALCON-RADAR mission award adds visibility to future spacecraft platform work, but the multiple already prices in a substantial degree of optimism around how those contracts translate into revenue. Readers weighing this valuation need to judge whether the existing contract pipeline and execution record justify paying above what the model suggests as a more grounded P/S starting point.
