SpaceX Q2 Capex Hits $18.4B as AI Build-Out Doubles; Revenue Surges 92%
SPCX is trading near its 52-week low of $104.83 (11% above the low).
Summary
SpaceX's first post-IPO quarterly report reveals a massive AI investment cycle: Q2 capex reached $18.4 billion, with $15.8 billion dedicated to AI infrastructure—double the prior quarter. Revenue jumped 92% YoY to $7.8 billion, driven by a 247% surge in AI revenue and Starlink's growth to $4.3 billion. Musk outlined plans to expand data center capacity from 2 GW to 10 GW and launch orbital data centers by 2027. The company is on track for $100 billion in annualized recurring revenue by December and now projects $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030, a year ahead of schedule. Despite a net loss of $541 million, the results beat expectations, though shares fell 7% after-hours on capex concerns. An exclusive Nvidia chip deal and a looming lock-up expiration add near-term catalysts. This follows the June IPO and $60B Anysphere acquisition, cementing SpaceX's aggressive pivot to AI.
