SpaceX Posts Strong Inaugural Results as AI Cloud Business Surges, UBS Says

By

Space Exploration Technologies' (SPCX) inaugural quarterly results showed broad outperformance, led by AI cloud service deals, UBS Securities said Wednesday in a report.

SpaceX's combination of launch, connectivity and compute businesses is increasingly differentiated and positioned to create long-term value, UBS said.

The company is making rapid progress across its Starship, Starlink and its AI initiatives, and management believes it has addressed Starship's heat-shield issue and plans a ship-catch attempt on the next test flight, the report said.

UBS expects an inflection in Starlink revenue growth once 1,000 next-generation V3 satellites are deployed, which it estimates will occur sometime next year. AI compute capacity may reach 5 to 10 gigawatts by the end of 2027, above its prior estimate of 4 gigawatts.

UBS maintained its buy rating on SpaceX stock with a $210 price target.
