Space Exploration Technologies Corp. Class A Common StockDisappointing Q2 results, AI capex surge, dilutive acquisition, and lockup expiration pressure the stock.

SpaceX shares have fallen 20% from their IPO price and 52% from their all-time high after disappointing second-quarter results, and one analyst argues the stock is still unattractive. The company reported revenue of $7.8 billion, up 92% year over year, and a net loss of $541 million, but AI-related capital expenditures surged to $15.8 billion, more than doubling quarter over quarter and exceeding six times the capex of its other segments combined. An all-stock acquisition of AI start-up Cursor for $60 billion will dilute existing shareholders, and the first lockup expiration on August 6 could add further selling pressure. With a market capitalization of $1.5 trillion and a price-to-sales ratio of 73.4, the valuation appears excessive compared to peers, and the analyst expects the stock to contract further before becoming attractive.
