Why Virgin Galactic Stock Is Continuing to Tumble Today
Shares of Virgin Galactic (NYSE: SPCE) are in a tailspin. After topping $24 a share ahead of earnings on Monday, the stock has fallen 18% since earnings came out, and as of 2:20 p.m. EDT, Virgin Galactic shares are down another 4% today. There's the big 20.5 million-share stock issuance Virgin announced to raise cash to fund its continuing losses -- and the very strong likelihood that those losses will continue through at least the first quarter of 2021 (when company founder Sir Richard Branson says he will finally take his first flight aboard Virgin's VSS Unity spaceplane).
