Firefly Aerospace has finalized its public offering, successfully raising $181.9 million in net proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes. The offering was priced at $48.00 per share, which is a premium to the current market price of $46.01, indicating strong institutional demand and confidence in the company's valuation.
