Is SpaceX Overvalued Right Now?
Yahoo Finance ·
The Space Exploration Technologies ( SPCX +3.01% ) IPO was the biggest, and arguably the most divisive, in history. It raised about $75 billion, and for a brief period on June 16, it surpassed Microsoft and Amazon -- two companies with much stronger balance sheets -- in market cap. SpaceX has been extremely volatile in its first weeks on the market. Since peaking at $226, it has declined to about $155 at market close on June 24. Does the pullback make for a better buying opportunity, or is the leading space company still overvalued? The most common criticism in the lead-up to SpaceX going public was the valuation. SpaceX is trading higher than its IPO price of $135 at the time of this writing, so the valuation concerns haven't gone away. SpaceX isn't profitable, reporting a net loss of $4.9 billion in 2025. Revenue that year was $18.7 billion. At a market cap of just over $2 trillion, SpaceX trades at 109 times last year's sales, making it the most expensive megacap stock. Palantir Technologies ( PLTR +6.17% ) , previously the poster child for high valuations, is trading at 65 times annual sales.
