SpaceX reported its first quarterly profit as a public company on Tuesday, posting $4.4 billion in net income and easily surpassing analysts' consensus estimate of $1.88 billion for the period ending September 30. Total revenue reached $14.6 billion, nearly doubling the $7.8 billion recorded in the second quarter. During the earnings webcast, CEO Elon Musk revealed that SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to evaluate a potential merger, which would represent the largest such combination in history. Musk noted that he is not participating in the committee discussions due to potential conflicts of interest and that final terms remain undecided. Following the announcement, SpaceX shares climbed nearly 8% to $159.50 in after-hours trading, while Tesla shares gained 1.2%. The stellar financial performance was driven by robust growth across all segments, including artificial intelligence, connectivity, and launch operations. The AI division generated $7.56 billion in revenue with $431 million in operating income, reversing previous losses. Meanwhile, the connectivity segment achieved $5.25 billion in revenue and $2.37 billion in operating profit, bolstered by expanding Starlink services and a growing mobile user base of 22 million globally. Capital expenditures hit $19.59 billion, largely directed toward AI computing infrastructure.
