Virgin Galactic surged 10.14% in premarket trading following the announcement that it has resumed limited sales of commercial spaceflights at $750,000 per ticket. The price increase, marking a $100,000 jump from its previous rate, comes as the company progresses with ground testing of its new Delta-class spacecraft and advances in building its next fleet of SpaceShips. CEO Michael Colglazier highlighted key milestones in the company’s development timeline, including the planned launch of regular spaceflights later in 2026. Despite a weak fourth-quarter earnings report, the resumption of ticket sales and positive operational updates fueled investor optimism, driving the premarket rally.
