SpaceX (SPCX) shares closed the prior session near $171 after a 7.6% surge on October 5, driven by Morgan Stanley’s reaffirmed $300 price target and assessment that the stock trades at a discount on a growth-adjusted basis relative to AI peers. Traders price the week-of-October-5 close most heavily in the $165–$175 bands because near-term catalysts—including the upcoming Starship Flight 15 and late-October Q3 earnings—remain binary for execution risk and AI infrastructure monetization. The separate $40 billion financing effort for Nvidia chips signals aggressive capex that could support revenue scaling but also raises leverage questions ahead of resolution. With probabilities tightly clustered, the distribution reflects balanced views on whether recent momentum holds or volatility from lock-up dynamics and macro risk appetite reasserts.
