The digest
SpaceX, a company once projected to incur losses for years, is now on a surprising trajectory towards early profitability. This dramatic shift is largely attributed to its aggressive expansion into AI data centers and the substantial contracts it has secured in the burgeoning compute market. This unexpected turn of events has led analysts to re-evaluate SpaceX's valuation, with some now considering it a "cheap" investment.
The Astonishing Flip-Flop in Earnings Estimates
Previously, SpaceX's financial future was primarily tied to space exploration and Starlink's growth, with profitability anticipated far into the 2030s or 2040s. However, recent earnings estimates have painted a vastly different picture. The consensus revenue estimates for FY2026 have surged by approximately 50%, while FY2027 estimates have seen an even more impressive 57% increase. This upward revision is not merely a slight adjustment; it represents a fundamental re-rating of the company's immediate financial prospects.
