SpaceX stock sinks for a second day as company slips below Amazon in market cap

The stock fell more than 6% as investors weighed billions in annual losses and a $60 billion AI deal.

  • SpaceX shares tumbled for a second straight day on Wednesday, losing nearly 5% and another 3–4% in premarket trading, erasing over $100 billion in market capitalization after peaking above $222 earlier this week.
  • Following a mega-IPO priced at $135, shares rocketed before declining; the merger with Elon Musk created a controversial albatross that complicates profitability while the company lost billions last year.
  • Arete Research analyst Andrew Beale predicted shares could reach over $400, while Founder Funds in Dallas partner Michael Monaghan cited $200 billion in potential 2030 revenue, though fundamentals remain uncertain.
  • Waning enthusiasm serves as a reality check for investors buying into Musk's visions, as SpaceX bulls settle into a wilder, more drawn-out ride than anticipated following the IPO.
  • Space is hard, with timelines prone to slipping due to launch anomalies and technical challenges; investors should treat long-term estimates with caution as the market recalibrates expectations.
