For the answer, take a look at the space company's earnings and stock chart.</p><p><blockquote><b>维珍银河</b>(SPCE)于7月11日将创始人Richard Branson送入太空，先于蓝色起源的杰夫·贝索斯。那么，SPCE股票值得买入吗？要找到答案，请看一下这家航天公司的收益和股票图表。</blockquote></p><p> But on July 12, Virgin Galactic filed a regulatory notice that itplans to sell up to $500 million in stock. That triggered the worst weekly sell-off since SPCE stock became public.</p><p><blockquote>但7月12日，维珍银河提交了一份监管通知，计划出售最多5亿美元的股票。这引发了自SPCE股票上市以来最严重的每周抛售。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Virgin Galactic Stock Fundamental Analysis</b></p><p><blockquote><b>维珍银河股票基本面分析</b></blockquote></p><p> SPCE stock debuted on the NYSE on Oct. 28 2019, becoming the first publicly traded commercial space tourism company after a reverse merger with Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings.</p><p><blockquote>SPCE股票于2019年10月28日在纽约证券交易所上市，成为与社会资本Hedosophia Holdings反向合并后第一家上市的商业太空旅游公司。</blockquote></p><p> But it is still not flying paying passengers to the edge of space yet, so there is no revenue coming in and losses are piling up. On May 10, Virgin Galactic reported a Q1 per-share loss of 55 cents, missing Wall Street expectations for a loss of 31 cents a share and widening from 30 cents a year ago, on no revenue. Available cash slipped to $617 million from $666 million in Q4. The company expects free cash outflow to worsen to $60 million in Q2 from $50 million in Q1.</p><p><blockquote>但它仍然没有将付费乘客运送到太空边缘，因此没有收入，损失也在不断增加。5月10日，维珍银河公布第一季度每股亏损55美分，低于华尔街预期的每股亏损31美分，较一年前的30美分有所扩大，且没有收入。可用现金从第四季度的6.66亿美元下滑至6.17亿美元。该公司预计第二季度自由现金流出将从第一季度的5000万美元恶化至6000万美元。</blockquote></p><p> Still, the July 11 test flight was a key step toward the start of commercial service. The flight evaluated the customer cabin with a full crew, demonstrated the conditions for conducting human-tended experiments, and confirmed that the training program at Spaceport America supports spaceflight. Virgin Galactic has two more flights, including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> with the Italian Air Force, to close out its test program. It plans to start commercial service in early 2022.</p><p><blockquote>尽管如此，7月11日的试飞是开始商业服务的关键一步。这次飞行评估了全机组人员的客户客舱，展示了进行人工管理实验的条件，并确认了美国航天港的培训计划支持航天飞行。维珍银河还有两个航班，包括<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">一</a>与意大利空军合作，结束其测试计划。它计划于2022年初开始商业服务。</blockquote></p><p> Virgin Galactic has lined up further scientific research flights, another key revenue stream for the commercial space company. A researcher for the International Institute for Astronautical Sciences will conduct experiments with new healthcare technologies during a space flight that could happen as early as next year. A future NASA-funded research mission will include a planetary scientist. So far, it is unclear how much each seat on the research flights will cost.</p><p><blockquote>维珍银河已经安排了进一步的科学研究飞行，这是这家商业航天公司的另一个关键收入来源。国际航天科学研究所的一名研究人员将在最早可能于明年进行的太空飞行中进行新医疗技术的实验。未来美国宇航局资助的研究任务将包括一名行星科学家。到目前为止，还不清楚研究航班上每个座位的价格是多少。</blockquote></p><p> Virgin Galactic will report Q2 results after the market closes on Aug. 5. Analysts polled by FactSet expect the company to report a loss of 33 cents per share vs. a 30 cent-per-share loss in the year-ago quarter. Revenue is seen rising to $400,000 from none a year ago. Virgin has not started revenue-generating flights but has some small revenue streams outside of commercial flights.</p><p><blockquote>维珍银河将于8月5日收盘后公布第二季度业绩。FactSet调查的分析师预计该公司每股亏损33美分，而去年同期每股亏损30美分。收入预计将从一年前的零增加到40万美元。维珍航空尚未开始创收航班，但在商业航班之外有一些小额收入来源。</blockquote></p><p> While the company began as a space tourism company, analysts have also notedVirgin Galactic's potential in hypersonic point-to-point travel, by using its space plane to take passengers across continents in a fraction of the time it takes today.</p><p><blockquote>虽然该公司最初是一家太空旅游公司，但分析师也注意到了维珍银河在高超音速点对点旅行方面的潜力，通过使用其太空飞机将乘客运送到各大洲，所需时间只是今天的一小部分。</blockquote></p><p> Virgin is partnering with<b>Boeing</b>(BA), whose venture capital arm HorizonX has a $20 million minority stake in Virgin Galactic, in high-speed travel.</p><p><blockquote>维珍正在与<b>波音公司</b>(BA)旗下风险投资部门HorizonX持有维珍银河价值2000万美元的少数股权。</blockquote></p><p> Virgin Galactic said in February 2020 that it sees a\"huge opportunity\" to apply high-speed global mobility technologyto reduce travel time. Then-CEO Whitesides told CNBC at that time the company wants to integrate its vehicle into national airspace systems, allowing it to land at airports and link to local transport networks.</p><p><blockquote>维珍银河在2020年2月表示，它看到了应用高速全球移动技术来减少旅行时间的“巨大机会”。时任首席执行官怀特塞德斯当时告诉CNBC，该公司希望将其车辆集成到国家空域系统中，使其能够降落在机场并连接到当地交通网络。</blockquote></p><p> But Wall Street, which once had all buy ratings on SPCE stock, has turned more bearish on the company. Bank of America lowered Virgin Galactic stock to underperform on June 30, noting that the premium already priced into the stock is likely to decline as more space tourism companies go public.</p><p><blockquote>但曾经对SPCE股票给予全部买入评级的华尔街现在对该公司变得更加看跌。6月30日，美国银行将维珍银河股票下调至表现不佳，并指出，随着更多太空旅游公司上市，该股已经定价的溢价可能会下降。</blockquote></p><p> <b>More Space SPACs Ahead</b></p><p><blockquote><b>更多太空SPAC即将到来</b></blockquote></p><p> Investors in Virgin Galactic stock could soon get another option to invest in space. Founder Richard Branson has hired Credit Suisse Group AG and LionTree LLC to find a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) to take it public, sources told the Wall Street Journalin mid-March.</p><p><blockquote>维珍银河股票的投资者可能很快就会获得投资太空的另一种选择。消息人士3月中旬告诉《华尔街日报》，创始人理查德·布兰森(Richard Branson)已聘请瑞士信贷集团(Credit Suisse Group AG)和LionTree LLC寻找一家特殊目的收购公司(SPAC)将其上市。</blockquote></p><p> The news came as Virgin Orbit, a spinoff of Virgin Galactic, launched 10 satellites into space on Jan. 17 after a key test flight stumbled in May. Virgin Orbit uses Cosmic Girl, a modified Boeing 747, to take the LauncherOne rocket to an altitude of 35,000 feet, where it is released and ignited to continue on to space.</p><p><blockquote>这一消息传出之际，维珍银河(Virgin Galactic)的子公司维珍轨道(Virgin Orbit)在5月份的一次关键试飞失败后，于1月17日向太空发射了10颗卫星。维珍轨道公司使用改装的波音747“宇宙女孩”(Cosmic Girl)将“发射器一号”火箭带到35,000英尺的高度，在那里释放并点火，继续进入太空。</blockquote></p><p> Virgin Orbit and Virgin Galactic were split in 2017 so Virgin Orbit could focus on low-cost launch services for small satellites for the U.S. military and other customers. It already has a $35 million three-launch deal with the Space Force and is working with the Air Force on launches from Guam.</p><p><blockquote>维珍轨道和维珍银河于2017年拆分，因此维珍轨道可以专注于为美国军方和其他客户提供小型卫星的低成本发射服务。它已经与太空军签订了价值3500万美元的三次发射协议，并正在与空军合作从关岛发射。</blockquote></p><p> The space sector is becoming increasingly more crowded, with more opportunities for investors outside of Virgin Galactic as blank check companies plan to take Rocket Lab, Spire Global, and others public.</p><p><blockquote>随着空白支票公司计划将Rocket Lab、Spire Global等公司上市，航天行业变得越来越拥挤，维珍银河以外的投资者将获得更多机会。</blockquote></p><p> <b>SPCE Stock Technical Analysis</b></p><p><blockquote><b>SPCE股票技术分析</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> Shares were building a deep cup-with-handle base with a 57.61 buy point but lost support at the50-day lineand 200-day line amid the sell-off.</p><p><blockquote>该股正在以57.61的买入点建立一个深杯形底部，但在抛售中失去了50日线和200日线的支撑。</blockquote></p><p> After diving in every session this past week, SPCE stock ended with a loss of 38.6%, marking the worst weekly drop since its blank-check merger closed.</p><p><blockquote>在过去一周的每个交易日暴跌后，SPCE股价最终下跌38.6%，创下自空白支票合并结束以来最严重的单周跌幅。</blockquote></p><p> Virgin Galactic has anIBD Composite Ratingof 45 out of a best-possible 99. The key rating combinesfive other IBD stock ratings.The stock also has a poor 44 EPS Rating.</p><p><blockquote>维珍银河的IBD综合评级为45分（满分为99分）。关键评级结合了其他五个IBD股票评级。该股的每股收益评级也很差，为44。</blockquote></p><p> The relative strength line spiked after the completion of the test flight in May.</p><p><blockquote>相对强度线在5月份试飞完成后飙升。</blockquote></p><p> The stock has an Accumulation/Distribution rating of D-, indicating more selling than buying by institutional investors.</p><p><blockquote>该股的累积/分配评级为D-，表明机构投资者的卖出多于买入。</blockquote></p><p> Virgin Galactic stock is ranked No. 25 in IBD's Aerospace/Defense Group.</p><p><blockquote>维珍银河股票在IBD航空航天/国防集团中排名第25位。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Key Investors Unload SPCE Stock</b></p><p><blockquote><b>主要投资者抛售SPCE股票</b></blockquote></p><p> Cathie Wood's exchange traded funds launched a massive sell-off of Virgin Galactic shares in late March.</p><p><blockquote>Cathie Wood的交易所交易基金在3月底发起了对维珍银河股票的大规模抛售。</blockquote></p><p> ARKX Space Exploration (ARKX) began with 672,000 shares back in March dumped all Virgin Galactic stock by May. Her ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics (ARKQ) ETF sold 1.65 million shares during May and no longer has a position.</p><p><blockquote>ARKX Space Exploration(ARKX)早在3月份就持有672,000股，到5月份就抛售了所有维珍银河股票。她的ARK Autonomous Technology&Robotics(ARKQ)ETF在5月份出售了165万股，并且不再持有头寸。</blockquote></p><p> Branson sold about $150 million worth of shares, about 2.5% of the space tourism company, in mid-April, according to a recent regulatory filing.</p><p><blockquote>根据最近提交的监管文件，布兰森在4月中旬出售了价值约1.5亿美元的股票，约占这家太空旅游公司的2.5%。</blockquote></p><p> In early March, Chamath Palihapitiya, the chairman of Virgin Galactic, tweeted that he sold his 6.2 million-share personal stake. The stock was worth about $213 million. But he still owns 15.8 million shares via his special purpose acquisition company, Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings, which took SPCE stock public.</p><p><blockquote>3月初，维珍银河董事长Chamath Palihapitiya在推特上表示，他出售了620万股个人股份。该股票价值约2.13亿美元。但他仍然通过他的特殊目的收购公司Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings拥有1580万股股票，该公司将SPCE股票上市。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Ramp To Commercial Service</b></p><p><blockquote><b>转为商业服务</b></blockquote></p><p> Virgin Galactic unveiled itsSpaceShip III spaceplanein late March. The spaceplane will undergo its own flight test program. Then SpaceShipTwo, the WhiteKnightTwo mothership, and SpaceShipThree will undergo maintenance or improvement.</p><p><blockquote>维珍银河于三月下旬推出了Spaceship III太空飞机。这架太空飞机将进行自己的飞行测试计划。然后太空船二号、白骑士二号母舰和太空船三号将进行维护或改进。</blockquote></p><p> Branson's July 11 flight showed off the interior of SpaceShipTwo. Aluminum and carbon-fiber seats are individually sized and the fabric was created by<b>Under Armour</b>(UAA), which also designed Virgin Galactic's spacesuits. A large mirror in the back of the cabin allows astronauts to see themselves weightless during flight. The cabin also features 17 windows and 16 cameras.</p><p><blockquote>布兰森7月11日的飞行展示了太空船二号的内部。铝制和碳纤维座椅尺寸各异，面料由<b>Under Armour</b>（UAA），该公司还设计了维珍银河的宇航服。机舱后部的一面大镜子可以让宇航员在飞行过程中看到自己失重的样子。机舱还设有17个窗户和16个摄像头。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Virgin Galactic's Space Ambitions With NASA</b></p><p><blockquote><b>维珍银河与美国宇航局的太空雄心</b></blockquote></p><p> While making strides in commercial space tourism, the company has also been busy racking up deals with NASA. In June 2020, Virgin announced an agreement with the space agency tocreate an astronaut training program. SPCE stock jumped on the news.</p><p><blockquote>在商业太空旅游取得长足进步的同时，该公司也一直忙于与美国宇航局达成交易。2020年6月，维珍航空宣布与航天局达成协议，制定宇航员培训计划。消息传出后，SPCE股价上涨。</blockquote></p><p> Under the deal, the company will \"develop a new private orbital astronaut readiness program\" for customers looking to go to the International Space Station. Virgin also will find customers that want to buy astronaut missions to the station, book transportation to the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ISFFF\">ISS</a> and perform on-orbit and ground resources tasks.</p><p><blockquote>根据协议，该公司将为希望前往国际空间站的客户“开发一个新的私人轨道宇航员准备计划”。维珍还将寻找想要购买宇航员前往空间站任务的客户，预订前往空间站的交通工具<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ISFFF\">ISS</a>并执行在轨和地面资源任务。</blockquote></p><p> Last May, Virgin Galactic announced a separate deal with NASA to help develop a sustainable high-Mach supersonic aircraft.</p><p><blockquote>去年5月，维珍银河宣布与NASA达成一项单独协议，帮助开发可持续的高马赫超音速飞机。</blockquote></p><p> NASA, which also performs aeronautics research, has been working on a high-Mach flight, one that doesn't produce a sonic boom, under its Supersonic X-59 program with<b>Lockheed Martin</b>(LMT) Skunk Works. Such technology could make supersonic passenger service more feasible.</p><p><blockquote>NASA也从事航空研究，根据其超音速X-59计划，一直致力于高马赫飞行，这种飞行不会产生音爆<b>洛克希德</b>（LMT）臭鼬工厂。这种技术可以使超音速客运服务更加可行。</blockquote></p><p> Virgin Galactic is eyeing that potential market too. In August, it signed a memorandum of understanding with Rolls-Royce to collaborate in designing and developing engine propulsion technology for Mach 3 commercial aircraft. Rolls-Royce built the engine for the Concorde, which flew at Mach 2.</p><p><blockquote>维珍银河也在关注这个潜在市场。8月，它与劳斯莱斯签署了一份谅解备忘录，合作设计和开发3马赫商用飞机的发动机推进技术。劳斯莱斯为协和式飞机制造了发动机，协和式飞机的飞行速度为2马赫。</blockquote></p><p> The Rolls-Royce announcement included an initial design concept of the aircraft, which could carry nine to 19 passengers and fly at an altitude above 60,000 feet. Management has said that a Mach 3 aircraft has the potential for travelers to do a round trip in one day between 85% of the most frequently traveled global city pairs.</p><p><blockquote>劳斯莱斯公司的公告包括该飞机的初步设计概念，该飞机可搭载9至19名乘客，飞行高度超过60,000英尺。管理层表示，一架3马赫的飞机有可能让旅客在一天内完成85%最常旅行的全球城市对之间的往返旅行。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Management Shake-Up</b></p><p><blockquote><b>管理层改组</b></blockquote></p><p> On March 5, former CEO George Whitesides announced he was stepping down from his role as chief space officer less than a year after the position was formed.</p><p><blockquote>3月5日，前首席执行官乔治·怀特塞德斯(George Whitesides)在首席太空官职位设立不到一年后宣布辞去该职位。</blockquote></p><p> Whiteside's departure isn't the only recent management change for Virgin Galactic. CFO Jon Campagna stepped down on March 1 and was replaced by Doug Ahrens, who had served as CFO of chipmaker Mellanox.</p><p><blockquote>怀特塞德的离职并不是维珍银河最近唯一的管理层变动。首席财务官Jon Campagna于3月1日辞职，由曾担任芯片制造商Mellanox首席财务官的Doug Ahrens接任。</blockquote></p><p> Virgin Galactic named Swami Iyer as president of aerospace systems and Stephen Justice as vice president of engineering. Justice previously worked at Lockheed's top secret Skunk Works research facility.</p><p><blockquote>维珍银河任命Swami Iyer为航空航天系统总裁，Stephen Justice为工程副总裁。贾斯蒂斯此前曾在洛克希德公司的绝密臭鼬工厂研究机构工作。</blockquote></p><p> And in July 2020, Virgin Galactic appointedMichael Colglazier as the new CEO. In his previous role as president of<b>Disney</b>(DIS) Parks International, Colglazier was responsible for operations, strategy, and commercial and experiential development of the company's parks and resorts.</p><p><blockquote>2020年7月，维珍银河任命Michael Colglazier为新任首席执行官。在他之前担任主席期间<b>迪斯尼</b>(DIS)Parks International，Colglazier负责公司公园和度假村的运营、战略以及商业和体验开发。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Is SPCE Stock A Buy?</b></p><p><blockquote><b>SPCE股票值得买入吗？</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> While IBD typically advises investors to focus on companies with strong earnings growth, newly public companies can also merit attention if they show strong revenue growth. Virgin Galactic, however, has neither.</p><p><blockquote>虽然IBD通常建议投资者关注盈利增长强劲的公司，但如果新上市公司表现出强劲的收入增长，也值得关注。然而，维珍银河两者都没有。</blockquote></p><p> While it has NASA contracts under its belt and its powered test flight reached space, commercial service has been delayed until 2022.

It plans to start commercial service in early 2022.</p><p><blockquote>尽管如此，7月11日的试飞是开始商业服务的关键一步。这次飞行评估了全机组人员的客户客舱，展示了进行人工管理实验的条件，并确认了美国航天港的培训计划支持航天飞行。维珍银河还有两个航班，包括<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">一</a>与意大利空军合作，结束其测试计划。它计划于2022年初开始商业服务。</blockquote></p><p> Virgin Galactic has lined up further scientific research flights, another key revenue stream for the commercial space company. A researcher for the International Institute for Astronautical Sciences will conduct experiments with new healthcare technologies during a space flight that could happen as early as next year.

So far, it is unclear how much each seat on the research flights will cost.</p><p><blockquote>维珍银河已经安排了进一步的科学研究飞行，这是这家商业航天公司的另一个关键收入来源。国际航天科学研究所的一名研究人员将在最早可能于明年进行的太空飞行中进行新医疗技术的实验。未来美国宇航局资助的研究任务将包括一名行星科学家。到目前为止，还不清楚研究航班上每个座位的价格是多少。</blockquote></p><p> Virgin Galactic will report Q2 results after the market closes on Aug. 5. Analysts polled by FactSet expect the company to report a loss of 33 cents per share vs. a 30 cent-per-share loss in the year-ago quarter. Revenue is seen rising to $400,000 from none a year ago. Virgin has not started revenue-generating flights but has some small revenue streams outside of commercial flights.</p><p><blockquote>维珍银河将于8月5日收盘后公布第二季度业绩。FactSet调查的分析师预计该公司每股亏损33美分，而去年同期每股亏损30美分。收入预计将从一年前的零增加到40万美元。维珍航空尚未开始创收航班，但在商业航班之外有一些小额收入来源。</blockquote></p><p> While the company began as a space tourism company, analysts have also notedVirgin Galactic's potential in hypersonic point-to-point travel, by using its space plane to take passengers across continents in a fraction of the time it takes today.</p><p><blockquote>虽然该公司最初是一家太空旅游公司，但分析师也注意到了维珍银河在高超音速点对点旅行方面的潜力，通过使用其太空飞机将乘客运送到各大洲，所需时间只是今天的一小部分。</blockquote></p><p> Virgin is partnering with<b>Boeing</b>(BA), whose venture capital arm HorizonX has a $20 million minority stake in Virgin Galactic, in high-speed travel.</p><p><blockquote>维珍正在与<b>波音公司</b>(BA)旗下风险投资部门HorizonX持有维珍银河价值2000万美元的少数股权。</blockquote></p><p> Virgin Galactic said in February 2020 that it sees a\"huge opportunity\" to apply high-speed global mobility technologyto reduce travel time.

Bank of America lowered Virgin Galactic stock to underperform on June 30, noting that the premium already priced into the stock is likely to decline as more space tourism companies go public.</p><p><blockquote>但曾经对SPCE股票给予全部买入评级的华尔街现在对该公司变得更加看跌。6月30日，美国银行将维珍银河股票下调至表现不佳，并指出，随着更多太空旅游公司上市，该股已经定价的溢价可能会下降。</blockquote></p><p> <b>More Space SPACs Ahead</b></p><p><blockquote><b>更多太空SPAC即将到来</b></blockquote></p><p> Investors in Virgin Galactic stock could soon get another option to invest in space.

For the answer, take a look at the space company's earnings and stock chart.\nBut on July 12, Virgin Galactic filed a regulatory notice that itplans to sell up to $500 million in stock. That triggered the worst weekly sell-off since SPCE stock became public.\nVirgin Galactic Stock Fundamental Analysis\nSPCE stock debuted on the NYSE on Oct. 28 2019, becoming the first publicly traded commercial space tourism company after a reverse merger with Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings.\nBut it is still not flying paying passengers to the edge of space yet, so there is no revenue coming in and losses are piling up. On May 10, Virgin Galactic reported a Q1 per-share loss of 55 cents, missing Wall Street expectations for a loss of 31 cents a share and widening from 30 cents a year ago, on no revenue. Available cash slipped to $617 million from $666 million in Q4. The company expects free cash outflow to worsen to $60 million in Q2 from $50 million in Q1.\nStill, the July 11 test flight was a key step toward the start of commercial service. The flight evaluated the customer cabin with a full crew, demonstrated the conditions for conducting human-tended experiments, and confirmed that the training program at Spaceport America supports spaceflight. Virgin Galactic has two more flights, including one with the Italian Air Force, to close out its test program. It plans to start commercial service in early 2022.\nVirgin Galactic has lined up further scientific research flights, another key revenue stream for the commercial space company.
