Virgin Galactic rides on SpaceX hype, doubling in two weeks; but since Unity has just returned to the sky, retail investors should be cautious about this volatility ahead of commercial flights in 2026.

On June 1st, Virgin Galactic opened up 23%, continuing last Friday's 36% surge, with a short-term cumulative increase of over 200%. Mainly due to spillover from the SpaceX IPO rumors, the market views SPCE as a SpaceX concept proxy stock; VSS Unity's glide test achieved a return to the sky, paving the way for commercial flights in 2026; last Friday's trading volume approached 180 million shares, with retail investors showing high enthusiasm. As the only publicly listed commercial space tourism company globally, it remains unprofitable, with volatile short-term fluctuations. It is recommended to rationally monitor SpaceX news and actual flight progress.
