By Manya Saini (Reuters) -Firefly Aerospace shares fell 11% in morning trading on Friday, in what was perceived as a normal market swing, but the space tech firm's robust debut highlighted renewed investor appetite for high-growth listings.

Shares of Firefly Aerospace (NASDAQ:FLY) slid 8% in premarket trading on Friday, dropping to $55.80 as the space technology firm faced typical market volatility after a robust initial public offering.

After several big IPOs including Figma last week, the IPO market stayed hot with Firefly Aerospace, which is now approaching a $10 billion valuation out of the gate. I would categorize space as one of the hot sectors, along with artificial intelligence, crypto, and quantum computing, that investors can't seem to get enough of.
