Virgin Galactic (NYSE: SPCE) is a pioneer in private outer space travel that aims to send tourists into flight at an unprecedented frequency. As a leader in this unproven but captivating industry, the company stands to produce massive returns if space tourism finally goes mainstream. A lack of meaningful commercialization, however, makes the stock a speculative play, and Wall Street’s opinion is mixed.

In this article, we’ll look at Virgin Galactic’s latest share price, analyst sentiment, multiyear price forecasts, and the key factors playing a critical role in the company’s path going forward.

Current Stock Overview

• Market cap: $235.6 million
• Trailing P/E Ratio: N/A
• Forward P/E Ratio: N/A
• 1-year return: -38%
• 2025 YTD: -33%

Virgin Galactic trades at around $4 per share as of October 2025. Shares have dipped by nearly half year-to-date as investors question the company’s ability to tap into the commercial opportunity of space exploration. The stock has a lofty 63.44 P/S ratio, which is much higher than the 11.41 P/S ratio it had on September 30, 2024. The P/S ratio hasn’t soared due to a rising stock price, but it reflects how much the business has contracted in recent quarters. 

Virgin Galactic operates in a potentially high-growth industry. Grand View Research anticipates the space tourism market will maintain a 44.8% CAGR from now until 2030. Investors, however, are being a bit more circumspect. The company only generated revenue of $0.4 million in Q2, and while commercial services planned for 2026 could spark enticing growth, the market demand for space travel is still a huge “if.” Virgin Galactic also continues to burn through money, based on its $67 million Q2 net loss. 

SPCE has a consensus Hold rating with an average price target of $6.67 per share based on the ratings of 12 analysts. The highest forecast of $36 (Goldman Sachs) demonstrates the vast potential of this stock. However, the lowest price target of $0.75 (Wells Fargo) demonstrates the dramatic differences in analysts’ expectations. The three most recent price targets from Bernstein, Goldman Sachs, and Jeffries suggest a near-term average price target of $4.33, which would represent a 5.87% upside from current levels.

Quick Snapshot Table of Predictions

Bull & Bear Case

Virgin Galactic is positioned to benefit from a space travel boom, but does that make SPCE a buy? These are some of the bull and bear cases to consider. 

Bull Case

• EV/Assets ratio of 0.15 is in the top 10% of its industry
• Virgin Galactic is poised to benefit immensely if the space tourism industry is as hot as bulls anticipate
• Quick ratio of 3.38 is in the top 10% of its industry

Bear Case

• Virgin Galactic can lose ground to competitors like Blue Origin and SpaceX
• The company burned through $64 million in cash in Q2. That’s part of the reason it’s net profit margin is -17,828.03%.
• ROE of -114.94% is in the bottom 10% of its industry

Stock Price Prediction for 2025

CoinCodex projects downside from current levels.

The space tourism industry won’t become mainstream in 2025, and with commercialization still far away, some analysts believe Virgin Galactic stock is due for more losses. 

Stock Price Prediction for 2026

CoinCodex’s projections anticipate that Virgin Galactic will fall next year, implying a 16% dip from current levels.

The company’s services may commercialized in 2026, but the forecast suggests the reception won’t be as warm as bulls are hoping.

Stock Price Prediction for 2030

Bearish analysts assume the space tourism industry isn’t as hot as people expect, which would be a significant headwind.

Virgin Galactic could also lose market share to Blue Origin and SpaceX, making it harder for the company to stay in business. However, a booming space tourism industry with Virgin Galactic front and center would disprove that consensus. 

Investment Considerations

Virgin Galactic is a speculative stock that could produce significant returns if space tourism becomes a big industry and the company becomes one of its leaders. However low revenue, unproven commercialization, and sizable net losses make it a very risky stock.

Key risks: Space tourism doesn’t become a big hit, Virgin Galactic’s commercialization efforts don’t pan out, Blue Origin and SpaceX take substantial market share, Virgin Galactic becomes financially insolvent, and the company may dilute shares to raise more money if losses continue to pile up.

Virgin Galactic intends to launch commercial services in 2026, which could change the narrative and fuel the space tourism industry. Revenue growth could accelerate significantly and minimize losses if successful.
