SpaceX (SPCX) shares have traded in a volatile range near $144–$160 following its June 2026 IPO, with a market capitalization of roughly $1.9–2 trillion as of late October. The primary near-term driver is the October 20 Q3 earnings release, which delivered $14.6 billion in revenue (up 161% year-over-year) and $4.4 billion in net income, fueled by AI/compute revenue surging to $7.6 billion and Starlink connectivity rising 69% to $5.2 billion. This beat consensus but was tempered by elevated Q4 capex guidance of $35–40 billion and uncertainty around a potential Tesla merger. Analyst consensus targets average near $250, implying substantial upside from current levels, while broad tech-sector pressure contributed to a 9.1% single-day decline on October 22. Traders are monitoring upcoming data releases and any merger developments for further price catalysts.
