SpaceX Swings From $225 to $105 as Investors Split on $135 Stock

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 23

Summary

  • $135 SpaceX shares remain sharply divided after surging above $225 and falling below $105 since the company’s June IPO.
  • Reusable rockets and Starlink anchor the bull case: lower launch costs, fast-growing recurring satellite revenue, and a path to new markets such as voice services and space-based AI data centers.
  • Space-based data centers could tap near-continuous solar power while avoiding grid, zoning and fiber bottlenecks, and SpaceX says its terrestrial data center investments pay back in under a year.
  • Starship is the main bear-case risk because the company still must solve heat-shield durability and upper-stage recovery, both central to its rapid-reuse economics.
  • The stock’s boom-or-bust debate ultimately turns on whether SpaceX can convert Musk’s broad ambitions into reliable engineering execution.
