Moon Landing & Money Moves: Firefly Aerospace Goes Full Send on Nasdaq!

[lingriiddd]

Hey space nerds and stonk junkies, buckle up — Firefly Aerospace is officially shooting for the stars... on Wall Street!

The Texas-based rocket gang behind the Blue Ghost lunar lander (yes, the one that touched down on the freakin’ Moon in March 2025 like a champ) just filed for an IPO on Nasdaq. Ticker: FLY — because of course. 🛸

Here’s the cosmic scoop:

IPO details are still in stealth mode — no word yet on price, date, or how many shares. But big-name underwriters like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Jefferies, and Wells Fargo are backing the launch. Talk about a mission crew!

Not all moonlight and roses, though: Firefly is currently flying through some financial turbulence:

🚨 Net loss in 2024: $231M (vs. $135.5M in 2023)

📈 Revenue: $60.8M (+10% YoY)

🧾 Debt: Over $173M, which they hope to ease with IPO funds

🧠 Order backlog: $1.1B worth of launch & lunar tech contracts as of March 2025 — double last year’s count!

️ Fun Fact: The Blue Ghost landing was the first fully successful private lunar landing, partly bankrolled by NASA. Meanwhile, Intuitive Machines’ lander Odysseus kinda faceplanted in a crater after its touchdown. RIP.

So yeah, Firefly’s not just lighting up launchpads — they're bringing Moon fuel to the markets.
