The acquisition involves a combination of $300 million in cash and $555 million in Firefly shares at a $50-per-share valuation. This deal aims to integrate Firefly's launch, lunar, and on-orbit services with SciTec's mission software, rapid data processing, and low-latency AI systems, which support missile warning, tracking, and multi-domain operations.
According to the technical analysis of Firefly Aerospace's 15-minute chart, there has been a narrowing of Bollinger Bands, indicating a decrease in the magnitude of stock price fluctuations. Additionally, the KDJ Death Cross at 10/06/2025 14:30 suggests a shift in momentum towards the downside, with potential further decreases in stock price [2].
The valuation of Firefly stock at $50 per share by SciTec is notable, given that the stock closed closer to $27 a share last week. This suggests that the parties may have negotiated the valuation weeks ago, when Firefly stock was worth more. The acquisition will more than double Firefly's annual revenue stream, expanding its role in defense contracting [1].
Jefferies analysts have called the deal "immediately accretive" to EBITDA and FCF, adding 41% to 2026 revenue. The addition of proven software and data processing capabilities is expected to enhance Firefly's capability around delivering integrated, software-defined solutions for critical national security missions [2].
