Gravity Awakes: Space Ambitions vs. Industrial Friction
As Rocket Lab (
$RKLB) celebrates its capital debut with a
$60 marker, the industrial giants on terra firma are feeling the pull of gravity. Rockwell Automation (
$ROK) saw its valuation ceiling collapse under the dual weight of Wells Fargo and Barclays, bottoming at
$360.
Even the resilient Roper Technologies (
$ROP) couldn't escape the downdraft, with a new
$380 benchmark signaling the end of the premium era. We are witnessing two velocities:
$RKLB attempting to escape orbit, while
$ROK and
$ROP find themselves in a valuation freefall.
