Firefly announces new stock sale aimed at raising more than a half billion in new funds
The publicly traded rocket/lunar lander company Firefly yesterday announced a new public offering of stock, totalling more than 12 million shares, with the goal of raising more than a half billion for “general corporate purposes.”
Firefly Aerospace (Nasdaq: FLY), a market leading space and defense technology company, today announced the pricing of its public offering of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock and 8,000,000 shares of common stock by certain selling stockholders (the “Offering”) at a public offering price of $48.00 per share. In addition, the selling stockholders have granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,800,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Offering is expected to close on June 1, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
Firefly intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including to support growth of core business and recently awarded programs and initiatives. Firefly will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.

Simple math says this offering hopes to raise $576 million dollars, assuming the $48 per share price holds.
The graph to the right shows the full price history of Firefly’s stock since the initial public offering in 2025. After an initial high around $60, the stock sagged to around $20, and only has recovered back into the $40 to $50 range in the past few months. It appears therefore that the company has well timed this new offering.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

There’s a ton of money trying to get into Space sector stocks, so good timing on their part.
I’m really hoping Blue didn’t spoil the party last night though (most space stox down today).
