Firefly Aerospace Worth A Bet As The Space Race Diversifies
Firefly Aerospace presents intriguing upside in the commercial space sector, notably with its Alpha rocket targeting the small satellite launch market. FLY's fundamentals remain weak: deep negative free cash flow, high operating expenses, and a TTM Price/Sales ratio of 13.26, but rapid revenue growth and a $1.5B backlog provide promise. I see FLY as a high-risk, high-reward play best suited for risk capital, given technological hurdles, cash burn, and uncertain government funding.
