Virgin Galactic Holdings shares are climbing with conviction. What’s behind SPCE gains?

Analysts Are Setting Lofty Expectations For SpaceXNew Street Research released its first set of projections for SpaceX and the numbers are enormous. The firm set a $165 price target, which represents 22% upside from the expected IPO price.They expect SpaceX to generate $195.3 billion in revenue in 2030. Their breakdown includes $9.7 billion from Space, $57.9 billion from Connectivity and $127.7 billion from AI. They see revenue expanding at a 60% compounded annual rate from 2025 through 2030 and estimate earnings per share of $3.30 by 2030.Why SPCE Is Up TodayVirgin Galactic is rising because the entire space industry is being pulled into the spotlight.
