Firefly Aerospace heads into Q3 earnings after $1.3 B engine pact and NASA lunar contract

Firefly Aerospace will release its third‑quarter results on November 10 after announcing a three‑year engine supply agreement with AST SpaceMobile worth more than $1.3 billion and being selected as a vendor for NASA’s $10 billion CLPS 2 lunar program. The company’s CEO Jason Kim highlighted the recent Blue Ghost Mission 1 success and the ramp‑up of lander production. Analysts expect a loss of about $0.51 per share on revenue of roughly $103.8 million.

The consensus loss forecast signals near‑term earnings pressure, but the new contracts could expand the backlog and generate cash flow, influencing investor sentiment ahead of the earnings release.
