On May 20, Firefly Aerospace rose 5.11% in regular trading, trading at $44.50/share, with trading volume of approximately $74.81 million, extending the rebound that began earlier in the month.
The rally was primarily driven by continued strength across the commercial aerospace sector and sustained investor optimism following the company's robust Q1 results. Firefly Aerospace reported Q1 revenue of $80.9 million, a 45% year-over-year increase, with earnings surpassing market expectations. Additionally, the company's subsidiary SciTec recently secured multiple contracts from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, further bolstering confidence in its growth trajectory. The current move also represents a continued technical recovery from a prior pullback triggered by insider selling disclosures.
Within the Aerospace & Defense sector, peers posted broad gains, with GE Aerospace up 3.56%, Boeing up 3.06%, Rocket Lab USA up 2.47%, Redwire Corp up 0.90%, and Intuitive Machines up 0.69%, reflecting sector-wide positive momentum supporting Firefly Aerospace's advance.
