The fact that they could fulfill their whole loan that they wanted, and that they lost many important government satellite contracts recently seems to indicate that this is a business that hasn't reached a stage that it isn't out of the woods.
According to certain investors, this is a business worth $30 billion. That's not a company that should be struggling with these things.
United Launch Alliance had similar revenues (right around 2.5 billion) in 2018, but most only value them at $3 billion. This 10x multiple of their most obvious competitor doesn't seem to make sense.

From my PoV (very casual fan of the above) it actually is pretty spot on to value ULA at 1/10th value of SpaceX. However reasons for that are too long to go into in one comment ... Mainly origin of & current owner structure of ULA, their current LVs cost & future and dynamics of SX launch business.
