Virgin Galactic shares drop about 10% after hours as first commercial service for next-generation spacecraft slips to February 2027
AI Market Summary
Virgin Galactic shares fell after hours as management delayed the next-generation vehicle's first commercial service to February 2027, extending the timeline to meaningful revenue despite a narrower net loss and an EPS beat. Revenue remained minimal and down sharply year over year, while guidance implies continued heavy cash burn before flight testing begins in October. Oversubscribed $750k ticket demand supports long-term optionality but does not offset near-term execution and funding risk.

Virgin Galactic reported a GAAP loss of $0.50 per share, better than expected, but revenue was $134,000, down 67% year over year. Net loss narrowed to $56 million, helped by lower operating expenses and an $8.6 million gain related to debt extinguishment. The company said $750,000 spaceflight expeditions were oversubscribed, booking more than $50 million in expected future revenue.
