Virgin Galactic is an American spaceflight company founded by the Billionaire, Richard Branson with its headquarter in California, USA and operates from New Mexico. The company is developing commercial spacecraft and aims to provide suborbital spaceflights to space tourists. It had its IPO in the NYSE in September 2017 with the price at $10.15. The price was stable till October 2019, when the price fell a bit to $6.98. This price correction led to a huge rally in price to the all-time high before the global lockdown at $42,64. During the lockdown, the price fell to $9.18 which was about an 80% loss in value, the price recovery moved the price to $63.25.
On 11 July 2021, Branson and three other employees rode on a flight as passengers, making them the first to travel on his own ship into outer space (according to the NASA definition of outer space beginning at 50 miles above the Earth). Since this event, $SPCE has lost about 50% in value. The share price was expected to rally, but the price continued to fall since the first flight.
Regular paid passenger service flights have been scheduled to begin this year 2022 after two more test flights have been completed. The share price has fallen from the all-time high at $62.50 to $10.14, which is approximately an 84% loss. The current price is at $10.14 which is very close to the pandemic lowest price was at $9.05. The share price might rally as $SPCE prepares passengers flights this year. The rally might reach $43.49, which is about 3X of the current price at $10.14. On the weekly chart, price is still at the lower region of the Bollinger bands and RSI gives no indication of the price being oversold. On the other hand, the Daily chart has multiple indications that the price has been oversold.
