KeyBanc Initiates SpaceX with 'Sector Weight,' Citing High Valuation and Starship Concerns
SPCX sits 18% above its 52-week low of $149.34.
Summary
KeyBanc initiated coverage on SpaceX with a 'Sector Weight' rating and no price target, expressing caution due to the company's high valuation, trading at 29 times its 2027 revenue forecast. This analyst initiation provides a fundamental counterpoint as SpaceX stock falls for a third consecutive day following its recent IPO and massive surge. The firm highlighted the need for more evidence on Starship's progress to justify a more positive outlook. Starship-related milestones are expected to dictate the pace of growth for its connectivity and non-terrestrial AI segments.
