SpaceX Bonds Widen as AI Capex Doubles, Offsetting Revenue Beat
SPCX is trading near its 52-week low of $104.83 (9.9% above the low).
Summary
SpaceX bonds sold off Wednesday after the company doubled AI-related capital spending, overshadowing better-than-expected Q2 results. The 6.60% 2046 bonds widened 8 bps to 238 bps, while the 5.65% 2033 bonds widened 9 bps to 186 bps. This follows yesterday's 10% stock drop on the same AI capex concerns, but the bond market reaction adds a new dimension—credit investors are now pricing in higher leverage risk. The move signals that the market is scrutinizing the sustainability of SpaceX's aggressive AI investment, even as revenue surged 92% year-over-year.
