SpaceX's recovery and strong growth prospects have boosted investor sentiment, with the stock climbing back above its IPO price and analysts raising price targets. The company's heavy AI and infrastructure investments could drive significant future revenue, but high capital spending and dilution risks may temper valuation multiples.

SpaceX, publicly traded since June 2026, experienced a volatile post-IPO period, falling from an intraday high of $225.64 to a low of $104.83 before recovering above its $135 IPO price by August 12. The company reported strong Q2 results on August 4: revenue surged 92% year-over-year to $7.8 billion, with adjusted EBITDA up 191% to $3.5 billion, though net loss narrowed to $542 million. SpaceX — Starlink remains the profit engine with 12 million subscribers, while the AI segment grew 247% but posted an operating loss. CEO Elon Musk shortened his $1 trillion revenue timeline to 2030. Analysts project 2027 revenue of $102 billion and 2028 revenue of $160 billion, with a median price target of $217. SpaceX's pending $60 billion all-stock acquisition of Cursor (company) and heavy capex spending ($18.4 billion in Q2) are key factors. The stock trades at about 18.9 times expected 2027 sales, and analysts see potential for a $220 price by June 2027.
