  "account": "Canaccord reduced its price target for Intuitive Machines Inc. (NASDAQ:LUNR) stock to $39 from $41 after the company's second-quarter results. The company reported revenues of $206 million, a 310% year-over-year increase, and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $13.8 million, representing a 46% improvement from the previous year. However, these results fell short of Canaccord's estimates by 14% in revenue and 345% in earnings. While Intuitive Machines generated $490 million in revenue over the past year, a 117% growth, the company's stock has delivered a 124% return in the same period. Despite strong revenue growth driven by spacecraft production and various contract executions, the stock is currently considered overvalued by InvestingPro analysis. The company's record backlog stood at $1.8 billion, up $1.55 billion from the previous year-end, reflecting the Lanteris acquisition. Gross margins improved significantly by 4,090 basis points to about 17% in the quarter due to product revenue growth and scalability. Operating losses widened as the company spent more on spacecraft production, development, and mission execution, with increased R&D and SG&A expenses linked to the Lanteris acquisition, higher headcount, and stock-based compensation. Intuitive Machines consumed $59.8 million in cash from operations and invested $24.1 million in capital expenditures for manufacturing infrastructure and long-lead materials. The company finished the quarter with $367.4 million in cash. According to InvestingPro Tips, the company is not expected to be profitable this year.
