The stock is also up 7.4% over the past week and 6.6% over the past month, reflecting growing attention on the company\u2019s broader space infrastructure ambitions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The pivot toward recurring infrastructure revenue and expansion into national security work could change how you think about the risk and cash flow profile of NasdaqGM:LUNR over time. As the company integrates KinetX and Lanteris and starts to execute on new contracts, the mix of missions, services, and potential revenue streams may look quite different from its earlier mission based focus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Stay updated on the most important news stories for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplywall.st\/\/company\/id\/9f0827d4-80b4-4abd-a1bd-eafb38585667\/valuation?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=news_stay_updated_cta&amp;utm_source=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Intuitive Machines;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Intuitive Machines&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Intuitive Machines<\/a> by adding it to your <a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/features\/stock-watchlist?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=news_stay_updated_cta&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4487328\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:watchlist;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;watchlist&quot;}\" class=\"link \">watchlist<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/features\/portfolio?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=news_stay_updated_cta&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4487328\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:portfolio;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;portfolio&quot;}\" class=\"link \">portfolio<\/a>.
