A year of buying NASA
Over the last 38 days NASA closed between $22.62 (September 15, 2026) and $26.77 (August 17, 2026). One hundred dollars put in at the low would be worth $107 today; at the high, $90. The current price $24.10 is above 21 of those 38 daily closes, so a purchase on a random day of that stretch would be in profit 55% of the time — fees aside.
A typical day moves NASA by 3.4%: a $1,000 position swings about $34 a day.
