SpaceX Adds $500 Billion in Days, Reaching $2.43 Trillion Valuation

3 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · Jun 22

Summary

  • $2.43 trillion is where SpaceX's market value stood by June 18, up roughly $500 billion just days after its June 12 debut near $2 trillion.
  • A $18.7 billion revenue base leaves the stock trading at about 130 times sales, with Starlink supplying the only operating profit while launch and AI remain lossmaking.
  • Starlink's growth case faces limits from weaker urban economics and falling monthly revenue per user, which dropped to $66 last quarter from $86 at the end of 2023.
  • The launch business is smaller than its profile suggests—global demand is just above $22 billion today—while the AI unit is burning cash despite new compute-leasing deals.
  • That mix leaves the report concluding SpaceX has major opportunities but nowhere near enough to justify a valuation above $2 trillion.
