Nebius Group prices $1 billion share offering at $92.50 per share
Investing.com - Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage on Firefly Aerospace Inc (NYSE:FLY) with an Overweight rating and a $65.00 price target on Tuesday. The stock, currently trading at $45.37, sits near its 52-week low of $44.00, with a market capitalization of $6.5 billion. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears overvalued at current levels.
The research firm expects FLY shares to outperform as the company achieves significant growth catalysts across all its end markets, particularly in its launch business where Alpha and Eclipse rockets are anticipated to demonstrate faster cadence, better pricing, and expanded mission capabilities. The company’s revenue growth forecast for FY2025 stands at 7%, with current revenue at $108.3 million.
Cantor Fitzgerald believes Firefly’s satellite business opportunities, including Blue Ghost and Elytra, will accelerate due to NASA’s fixed-price requirements and favorable intelligence budget trends.
In the near term, the firm expects investor sentiment to follow the development and scaling of Firefly’s launch portfolio, landers, and national security opportunities in hypersonics and intelligence sectors.
Longer-term performance will likely be determined by cash generation capabilities, with Cantor noting that while space has historically been capital-intensive, demand tailwinds could enable healthy cash trends in launch operations, while Firefly’s strong cash position could support higher-margin acquisitions over time.
