  • According to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, Intuitive burned through more than $75 million in free cash flow last year, and cash burn has increased this year. Although Intuitive has won several lucrative contracts from NASA, Wall Street analysts don't expect it to turn free-cash-flow-positive and begin earning profits until 2026.

The article from The Motley Fool discusses the significant drop in Intuitive Machines' stock price, which fell by 14% following the company's announcement of a $32.9 million public offering of its common stock. This offering was priced at $2.80 per share, which was lower than the stock's closing price of $3.25 on the previous trading day. The decline in stock value is attributed to the dilution effect of issuing new shares, which reduces the ownership percentage of existing shareholders. Additionally, the article notes that the market often reacts negatively to such offerings because they can signal that the company needs to raise capital, potentially indicating financial strain or a need for funds to support operations or growth initiatives. Despite this, the article suggests that the long-term outlook for Intuitive Machines could still be positive, given its involvement in the burgeoning space industry.
