On June 29, Firefly Aerospace rose 8.63% in regular trading, trading at $27.53/share, with turnover of approximately $22.17 million. The rally was driven by a broad rebound across the commercial aerospace sector and continued positive sentiment from the company's recent acquisition announcement.
The commercial space sector saw a collective recovery following a period of sustained selling pressure triggered by capital reallocation after SpaceX's public listing. Peer Rocket Lab gained 10.93% on the same day, signaling a clear improvement in sector sentiment. Additionally, Firefly recently announced its acquisition of AI vision navigation company Space-ng, integrating its flight software and high-resolution camera systems into Firefly's Blue Ghost lunar landers and Elytra orbital vehicles for NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services missions and defense space domain awareness programs. Space-ng co-founder Ethan Rublee will join as Chief Engineer of Software.
KeyBanc previously upgraded Firefly to Overweight with a $50 price target, citing the company's positioning in lunar economy and defense business growth, viewing the post-SpaceX listing pullback as a buying opportunity within a broader long-term aerospace expansion cycle.
