Prediction: Stoke Space—fresh off a $1 billion raise—will IPO in 2027 as Nova Pathfinder readies early launch
The article predicts Stoke Space will go public in 2027, arguing the reusable-rocket startup — which raised $1 billion and is developing the Nova family — will offer a new space stock for investors. Stoke's Nova Pathfinder, a 7-engine LNG/LOX demonstrator lifting 2.5 tonnes to LEO, should launch early next year, leading to a larger Nova Block 2 with 14 engines and 15-ton capacity.
Stoke Space raises $1B Series E at ~$10B valuation to fast-track larger reusable Nova Pathfinder (2027) and Block 2 (2029)
Stoke Space raised $1 billion in a Series E round led by Point72 Ventures and Spark Capital, valuing the company at about $10 billion to accelerate development of larger reusable rockets. The funding will speed work on the Nova Pathfinder (targeted 2027) and Block 2 (targeted 2029) as an alternative to SpaceX for satellite launches.
