Wall Street bullish on SpaceX ahead of test flights
Wall Street is regaining confidence in SpaceX ahead of its upcoming Starship test flight, with shares nearing their IPO price and analysts citing growth potential. Morgan Stanley rates SpaceX 'overweight' with a $300 price target, while Wells Fargo has a $212 target. Analysts highlight the potential for a 'ship catch' as a major catalyst and note SpaceX's dominance in the private launch market. Deutsche Bank suggests the space sector may be at a trough, expecting medium-term gains.
SpaceX’s Post‑IPO Plunge Ahead of First Earnings
Investors are watching SpaceX ahead of its first quarterly report after the June 12 IPO, following a collapse that wiped out more than $500 billion of market value and left the stock over 50% below its intraday high. The company — with an implied market cap near $1.4 trillion — faces scrutiny over valuation and fundamentals: a price‑to‑sales ratio in the 70s, negative free cash flow, multibillion-dollar quarterly cash burn and debt roughly double cash. Strategic catalysts could justify the price if successful: making Starship reusable, expanding profitable Starlink connectivity while launches remain loss-making, building orbital and terrestrial data centers, and growing AI compute and products (Grok). Key commercial moves include large compute contracts with Google and Anthropic and a planned ~$60 billion acquisition of AI coding startup Cursor; short sellers have also posted sizable paper gains since the IPO.
SpaceX Sets Blueprint for Mega‑Cap IPOs
SpaceX’s June 12 public debut and rapid index inclusion are being cited as a potential blueprint for upcoming mega‑cap IPOs such as Anthropic and OpenAI. SpaceX listed at a $2 trillion-plus market cap, jumped 53% above its $150 opening price within three trading days, and remained roughly 17% above its debut by the most recent close. The company was quickly added to the Russell 1000 and is scheduled for inclusion in the Nasdaq‑100 after the July 6 market close. Nick Ryder, chief investment officer at Kathmere Capital Management, said similar dynamics could play out for other large listings depending on market conditions, while Arne Noack of FTSE Russell noted index eligibility rules create a fast-track path for qualifying large IPOs.
