SpaceX's heavy spending and risk of further borrowing make its sharp stock rally hard to square with weakening debt and a huge lock-up expiration ahead. Bloomberg reports its bonds weakened and credit spreads widened despite earnings above estimates. Talk of a potential Tesla acquisition is also in the air. x.com
SpaceX shares look headed lower, possibly below $75, because the business is not profitable at the moment. The stock has hit a new all-time low of $110, and a fall toward $50 cannot be ruled out, though it may take time. x.com x.com x.com
SpaceX's strong earnings give its bullish setup fresh fundamental support. Revenue of $14.58 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $8.81 billion and operating income of $2.79 billion beat expectations, as did connectivity and space revenue; 35 launches and mass to orbit fell short. The shares are also pushing through a cup-and-handle breakout. x.com x.com
SpaceX's expansion could dilute shareholders and flood the spot market with compute capacity, making 2027 a potential disaster despite this quarter's results. A large share of its proposed capacity would go to the spot market, unlike Meta's internally used capacity; valuing it as if peak spot prices last forever ignores that risk. SpaceX should be down, not up, on that outlook. x.com x.com x.com x.com
SpaceX at 100 times sales is not a winning entry: buyers at $225 last week are already suffering. x.com
SpaceX looks due for a bounce because sentiment has become extremely negative and stretched rubber bands snap. The stock fell from $171 on June 30 to $108, its lowest close, on worries about the lockup, high beta and AI, and permabears declaring victory is a contrarian sentiment signal. Large holders likely hedged with shorts or puts on SpaceX or on AST SpaceMobile, Rocket Lab, Planet Labs and Intuitive Machines, and that unwind could be violent. The negativity should abate. x.com x.com x.com … Show more
SpaceX's valuation was completely stupid, and the stock could fall to $100. x.com
SpaceX shares are being held up by market makers, not real institutional buying, setting retail up to be the last buyers. The support draws retail FOMO and short sellers whose covering adds another leg up, while pre-IPO institutions slowly sell high and insider lock-ups may unlock early. With a float of only 3-5% of market value, SpotGamma calls it one of the most gamma-sensitive markets in a decade; if call buying pauses, dealers unwind and the stock could fall as fast as it rose. x.com x.com
SpaceX's competitive threat makes AST SpaceMobile less attractive at these levels than SpaceX and Rocket Lab. AST SpaceMobile's weekly chart shows a downtrend and strong outflows, though the stock is near marked support. x.com
SpaceX isn't worth the risk to chase into tonight's earnings after an 8% run-up. Elon Musk may well pump it, and earnings estimates for the biggest IPO ever look conservative enough to allow a few nice beats, but staying out is preferable right now. x.com x.com
