Elon Musk fueled the fire by stating SpaceX could target $1 trillion in revenue by 2030. Mainstream backers like Goldman Sachs are modeling aggressive 25-fold revenue expansions over the next four years to justify the current price tag.

SpaceX is currently experiencing one of the most monumental moments in its history following its blockbuster Nasdaq IPO under the ticker SPCX. The public listing has completely shifted how

Wall Street views the company, pushing its valuation past $2 trillion and cementing CEO Elon Musk as the world’s first trillionaire.
SpaceX pulled in roughly $18.7 billion in revenue in 2025. To hit Musk’s target, the company relies heavily on three evolving pillars:

SpaceX’s internal documents outline a staggering $28.5 trillion total addressable market, with roughly 90% of it tied to artificial intelligence-related opportunities rather than traditional rocket launches. The long-term play is using space infrastructure as a massive distribution layer for orbital data centers and AI computing.
While rockets get the headlines, Starlink satellite internet is the current cash cow. It generated $11.4 billion of SpaceX’s 2025 revenue and brought in a robust $1.19 billion in operating income in Q1 alone.

SpaceX is trading at an astronomical 95x price-to-sales multiple. Financial analysts note this leaves “very little room for mistakes.”
Wall Street estimates are nowhere near Musk’s $1 trillion projection. Morgan Stanley models SpaceX hitting $330 billion by 2030 , while Goldman Sachs aggressively projects $470 billion, still less than half of Musk’s target.

While Starlink is deeply profitable, SpaceX’s core launch business actually posted a $657 million loss last year due to heavy R&D and capital expenditures, leading to an overall net loss of $4.94 billion for 2025.

Brokerages like Oppenheimer are highly bullish, issuing an “Outperform” rating with a $190 price target, viewing it as a vertically integrated AI and engineering powerhouse. Conversely, firms like Morningstar conservatively value the company’s fundamentals closer to $780 billion, citing massive uncertainties surrounding the actual viability and timelines of space-based AI data centers
