The post-IPO volatility in FJET stock has led to divided opinions among retail investors. A bearish user said that FJET stock is dragging down all the other good aerospace stocks.
Another user said that the FJET stock “feels like a classic low-float IPO frenzy — insane volatility, zero patience allowed,” while noting that this could result in either a parabolic run or a similarly fast decline.
A bullish user thinks that the FJET stock’s movements are not about fair value. “It’s about who blinks first,” they said.
FJET stock is up 85% year-to-date.
