SpaceX's Q3 growth could justify its previously questioned valuation if it continues. Revenue reached $14.6B, up 161% year over year, EPS was $0.35, and SI revenue grew 830%. Elon Musk said he expects at least 13 GW of compute online next year, potentially 20 GW of SI capacity, and floated $500B-$1T of ARR in 2027; those remain his projections. x.comÂ
SpaceX's revenue growth and raised guidance make its double beat and raise worth liking. Revenue grew 161% year over year, Q1 guidance was raised 67%, and its SI arm is growing extremely fast. Talk of $500 billion to $1 trillion in revenue by 2028 should not get investors too excited. x.comÂ
SpaceX's stronger-than-expected Q3 and surging Space Intelligence business make its valuation look more defensible. Revenue was $14.6 billion versus about $12.9 billion expected, adjusted EBITDA rose 306% to $8.8 billion, and Space Intelligence grew 830% to $7.6 billion, becoming its largest segment. Even half of the $500 billion to $1 trillion ARR Elon Musk is talking about by end-2027 would make the earlier valuation objection wrong; sentiment is now bullish. x.comÂ
SpaceX's addressable market cannot expand without limit because global income bounds customer spending. Even after a roughly $2B revenue beat, its $2T valuation is 17x revenue even if the annualized figure is doubled. x.comÂ
SpaceX's Q3 growth and guidance make a small position worth considering despite its still-expensive valuation. Revenue reached $14.58B versus $12.54B expected, up 161% year over year, and Q1 2027 guidance is $33B-$37B. A small start around $144 is under consideration, with more aggressive buying reserved for below the $135 IPO price. x.comÂ
SpaceX's blowout earnings make its somewhat lofty valuation deserved. Elon Musk said it could exit 2027 at $500 billion to $1 trillion in annual recurring revenue, an ambitious forecast that looks achievable for SpaceX. x.com x.comÂ
SpaceX's revenue ambitions look implausible against current sales and the risk of overbuilding chips. Revenue is $14 billion this quarter, and even the Street's $120 billion forecast for next year looks aggressive. Its costs are within its control, leaving the risk heavily skewed against investors. x.comÂ
SpaceXAI's projected compute-led revenue could support a $4.3 trillion valuation by end-2027. On a conservative $250 billion revenue estimate, with 80% from AI compute and a 35% operating margin, profits would reach $87.5 billion; at 50 times earnings that implies about $322 a share, roughly double in a year. This depends on projected ARR of $500 billion to $1 trillion by end-2027. x.comÂ
SpaceX looks extremely cheap because management's new revenue outlook could shrink its lofty sales multiple if ambitions become lasting profits. CFO Bret Johnsen guided $33-37B in Q1 2027 revenue, and roughly $42B of a $63B backlog is expected to be recognized within a year. At a fixed $1.95T enterprise value, today's 61x trailing sales would fall to about 13-15x on annualized Q1 guidance; Elon Musk's $500B-$1T end-2027 ARR outlook implies 2-4x. The targets still need to be delivered. x.com … Show more
SpaceX's $2T valuation may price in orbital data centers that remain a distant vision. Its operating business is essentially a scaled neocloud and internet provider, raising the question of whether current operations justify that valuation. x.comÂ
SpaceX's surging AI revenue and Starlink profits could make today's expensive valuation look cheaper as earnings catch up. Q3 revenue rose 161% to $14.6B; Super Intelligence brought in $7.6B, Starlink earned $2.37B in operating income, and backlog reached $63B. Q1 2027 revenue guidance is $33B-$37B versus ~$22B expected. A path to $200/share depends on meeting guidance and sustaining compute pricing and utilization; $35B-$40B in Q4 capex brings financing, dilution and execution risks. x.comÂ
