SpaceX (SPCX) shares closed at $158.96 on October 2 after a 7.35% gain, supported by the late-September Starship Flight 14 orbital milestone that deployed the first operational V3 Starlink satellites and validated higher-capacity hardware. Traders are focused on accelerating Starlink revenue growth, expanding AI compute hosting deals, and the company’s first full post-IPO quarter, with consensus 2027 revenue estimates near $108–113 billion against a roughly $2.16 trillion market cap. Q3 results are slated for early November, while remaining lock-up releases through December could add supply pressure. Analyst targets average around $226, though valuation multiples remain elevated relative to near-term free cash flow.
