Virgin Galactic Loses Money, Raises Prices. Is the Stock a Buy?
Share prices of space tourism stock Virgin Galactic (NYSE: SPCE) tumbled as much as 16% in the days following its fourth-quarter earnings release last week. The reason wasn't obvious on the surface.
In its report, Virgin Galactic management noted that its Q4 losses were smaller than analysts had forecast -- only $0.26 per share instead of $0.30 per share. Management also admitted that sales underperformed expectations, coming in at $2.8 million instead of the expected $3 million.
Such a report would seem to set up a good news/bad news kind of quarter for this pioneering space stock ... except for one thing.
