SpaceX (SPCX) shares traded near $145–$151 in the final days of September 2026 after closing at $145.47 on September 28 and $149.24 on September 29. The primary catalyst was Starship Flight 14’s successful orbital insertion on September 28, which deployed the first 26 V3 Starlink satellites and marked the vehicle’s first revenue-generating mission despite an engine anomaly. This milestone reinforced expectations for accelerated Starlink capacity growth and reusability progress, supporting analyst price targets near $222 amid 23 billion dollars in trailing revenue and elevated capital spending. Market-implied odds remain closely split between the $145–$150 and $150–$155 ranges, underscoring uncertainty over whether the launch-driven sentiment will hold through month-end volatility and pre-earnings positioning.
