Space Exploration Technologies Corp (NASDAQ: SPCX), or SpaceX, has released its first-ever quarterly earnings report since going public in history’s biggest initial public offering (IPO) almost 2 months ago. Generally, the firm beat analysts’ forecasts despite also reporting a considerable loss.
The SpaceX earnings report shows that it attained a total revenue of $7.81 billion, which was a 92% increase year-over-year (YoY) from $4.07 billion. The figure also beat London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) consensus estimates of $6.93 billion by 12.7%.
Additionally, the company reported a net loss of $541 million due to heavy expenditures on space and artificial intelligence (AI) development. This was, however, a significant reduction from its Q2 2025 loss position of $1.01 billion. Losses per share also reduced to $0.09 from last year’s $0.34 and beat estimates of $0.23.
Even more, SpaceX reported an adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $3.53 billion. This beat the $2 billion expectation mark, and nearly tripled from the $1.13 billion reported in Q1 2026.
Starlink internet service led the SpaceX profitability engine, contributing $4.29 billion to its revenue (66% increase YoY). Subscribers rose to 12 million in that quarter, expanding its footprint despite the average reduction in average revenue per user.
Meanwhile, xAI’s annualized revenue surged 247% to $2.56 billion. Its growth was heavily boosted by external computing and data center leases to tech giants such as Google and Anthropic. Here, SpaceX notes that it spent $16 billion of its $18.37 billion capital expenditure on xAI buildouts.
The core rocketry division remained in a pre-profit phase, due to massive investments in research and development of the Starship V3 vehicle program. Revenue experienced 29% annualized growth to $962 million as losses hit $542 million (an improvement from the previous quarter’s $662 million).
As for digital assets, the company disclosed that it still holds Bitcoin, but that its value had dropped to $1.10 billion from $1.64 billion at the end of 2025 due to market volatility.
At its IPO, SpaceX stock traded at $150 per share, with the company raising an unprecedented capital of $75 billion. Further demand led stock prices to highs of $201.80 in mid-June, with a market cap peak of $2 trillion.
However, stock prices began to plummet shortly afterwards, leading up to a price of $117.26 in the after-hours today, and a market valuation of $1.52 trillion.
Despite this dip, SpaceX ranks the 9th most valuable globally, trailing the likes of Apple, Microsoft and Amazon.

That said, SpaceX is scheduled to unlock 911.5 million insider shares (roughly 20% of the company’s total equity) for public trading on Thursday. Historically, such events led to near-term supply shocks that negatively impacted stock prices.
