Raising PT to $240

We went into SpaceX’s earnings thinking there wouldn’t be big changes to numbers given the June IPO was less than 2

months ago—we were wrong. SPCX continues to benefit from extreme vertical integration and the pace of change in AI

is incredibly fast. As a result, SPCX believes it can exit 2026 with a December ARR of $100B—well above our previous 2027

revenue estimate of $75B—and that it can achieve $1T in revenue in 2030, a year earlier than previously expected.
