<\/div>\n

The Virgin Galactic stock price has rebounded this week and is hovering at its highest point since January 28. <\/p>\n

It has soared by 45% from its lowest point this year, bringing the market capitalisation to $250 million.<\/p>\n

Top reasons why the Virgin Galactic stock has soared <\/h2>\n

The SPCE stock has soared in the past few days, helped by some of the top catalysts in the space industry.<\/p>\n

One of the main catalysts is the upcoming SpaceX Initial Public Offering (IPO)<\/a>, which is expected to value the company at nearly $2 trillion. <\/p>\n

As a result, this deal has led to more demand for companies in the space industry.<\/p>\n

The stock is also soaring amid rumours that Amazon will make a buyout bid for Globalstar<\/a>, a top company in the space industry that competes with SpaceX. <\/p>\n

It may place a $9 billion bid as soon as this month. That is a sign that there is demand for companies in the space industry.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, the Virgin Galactic stock jumped as the company opened spaceflight ticket sales at $750,000, up by $100,000 from the previous offerings.<\/p>\n

The ticket sales comes a few months before the management starts its commercialisation process later this year, possibly in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

These events come as traders reacted to the recent financial results, which fell short of expectations, which is understandable as the company is still in its pre-revenue state. <\/p>\n

Its numbers showed that its revenue dropped to $0.3 million, lower than the $0.4 million it made in the same period a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Virgin Galactic made a net loss of over $63 million, better than the $76 million it made a year earlier. <\/p>\n

It also reduced its cash outflow to $95 million from $117 million in the previous period.<\/p>\n

Still, Virgin Galactic stock faces some major risks ahead, which explains why its short interest has jumped to 20%. <\/p>\n

First, as the company has done in the past, there is a risk that its schedule will be delayed.<\/p>\n

Second, Virgin Galactic will likely continue diluting its shareholders in the near term. <\/p>\n

It raised $12 million in the last quarter by selling shares. Its outstanding shares have jumped to 73.3 million, up from 12 million in 2021.<\/p>\n

Third, there is a risk that the ongoing rebound may be a dead cat bounce, a situation where an asset in a freefall rebounds briefly and then resumes the downtrend.<\/p>\n

The daily chart shows that the SPCE stock price has been in a downward trend for a long time. <\/p>\n

It even formed a head and shoulders pattern, and moved slightly below the neckline at $2.68.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It bottomed at $2.13 earlier this month and then staged a strong comeback to the current level of $3.07. The stock remains below all moving averages, signalling that bears have prevailed.<\/p>\n

Therefore, history shows that the stock will rise a bit as the Fear and Greed Index prevails. <\/p>\n

It will then resume the downward trend, potentially to the year-to-date low of $2.13.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
