what happened
According to Dow Jones Newswires, Virgin Galactic shares dropped to a 52-week low on Friday, trading down 27% at $1.96 after an intraday low of $1.95. The stock has lost about 39% so far this year.
The company said it expects to raise capacity to 150 spaceflights a year by the end of 2028 and has begun booking a limited tranche of Spaceflight Expeditions seats at $850,000 each. Commercial spaceflights are now expected to start in the second quarter of 2027, after an earlier shift from the fourth quarter of 2026 to February 2027.
On Thursday the company said it intends to exchange stock for 2.5% convertible senior notes due 2027 and signed an open market sale agreement for up to $250 million of stock. Third-quarter revenue rose to $427,000 from $365,000 a year earlier, while the loss narrowed to 39 cents a share from $1.09.
why it matters
Combining a possible stock-for-debt exchange with a sizable at-the-market share sale adds dilution pressure, and the delayed launch timeline reinforces doubts about near-term revenue. Investors in space tourism stocks will watch how the company funds its growth plan.
