SpaceX Exceeds Revenue Estimates in First Earnings Since IPO

SpaceX’s revenue exceeded Wall Street’s expectations in the company’s first quarterly financial report following its blockbuster initial public offering in June. Elon Musk’s satellite, space and artificial intelligence conglomerate reported revenue of $7.8 billion on Tuesday, greater than than the $6.81 billion analysts polled by Bloomberg estimated on average. It also unveiled an operating loss of $1.26 billion from its AI business, better than the consensus for a loss of $2.39 billion. SpaceX’s eagerly awaited quarterly results cap a roller coaster ride since the company raised $86 billion in the largest stock-market debut of all time. Its shares have since plunged in a bout of post-IPO volatility and a broader AI selloff, erasing more than $1 trillion in market value from their peak.
