  • Virgin Galactic (SPCE) Seen as Undervalued by 95% Amid Share Price Slide
    February 2, 2026, 3:37 AM EST. Virgin Galactic Holdings (SPCE) has experienced a sharp share price decline, down 37.5% over the past year.

A recent Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis projects future cash flows turning positive by 2030, estimating an intrinsic value of $58.26 per share. This implies the stock is undervalued by approximately 95% according to the DCF model. The company currently faces funding challenges and operates in a capital-intensive, early commercial phase. Simply Wall St assigns a valuation score of 4 out of 6, reflecting some caution but potential. Investors continue to weigh Virgin Galactic's long-term prospects against sector risks and market conditions.
