The first company to complete a fully successful lunar landing is going public
Firefly Aerospace seeks to raise more than $600 million through a public stock offering, an arrangement that would boost the company's market valuation to nearly $5.5 billion, according to a document filed with the SEC on Monday.
The launch of Firefly's Initial Public Offering (IPO) comes as the company works to build on a historic success in March, when Firefly's Blue Ghost lander touched down on the surface of the Moon. Firefly plans to sell 16.2 million shares of common stock, at a price of between $35 and $39 per share. Under those terms, Firefly could raise up to $631.8 million on the public market.
Firefly has applied to list its common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market under the ticker symbol "FLY."
