SpaceX reports Q3 2026 results with revenue surge and AI growth

SpaceX (SPCX) posted third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $14.6 billion, up 161% year‑over‑year, driven by a surge in its AI computing business. The company earned $0.35 per share, beating expectations, and posted a net income of $4.4 billion after a loss a year earlier. Capital expenditures reached $19.6 billion, largely for AI infrastructure, while the firm announced a plan to give one share to every U.S. child next year. Analysts lifted price targets, with Goldman Sachs to $230 and Morgan Stanley to $300.

The earnings beat and strong AI revenue lift the stock, with analysts now seeing a 47% upside to a $217.5 target (TipRanks). The large AI‑focused capex indicates continued cash burn, so investors must watch future profitability.
