Stock in space tourism pioneer Virgin Galactic was soaring in early trading Thursday after reporting better-than-expected third-quarter sales. Fourth-quarter guidance isn’t hurting, either.
“With six spaceflights successfully completed in under six months, Virgin Galactic has demonstrated the repeatability of our spaceflight system and also showcased the overwhelmingly positive experience of our Astronauts,” said CEO Michael Colglazier in a news release. What’s more, Virgin expects to generate $3 million in sales in the fourth quarter. It’s already conducted two flights. Wall Street was looking for $2.1 million.
The move still leaves Galactic stock down roughly 65% over the past year. Starting a space tourism business has turned out harder than expected.
