Recently, $SPCX released its financial report. The numbers themselves look very strong. Revenue of $7.81 billion significantly exceeded expectations, growing 92% year over year.
In terms of revenue sources, "Starlink" remains the largest contributor, bringing in $4.29 billion (66% year-over-year growth). Among the three major segments, it is also the only one that is profitable.
Looking at the current revenue mix, the most stable segment is still Starlink. However, although both the AI and rocket segments are currently showing losses, their revenues are still growing: the AI segment is up 247% year over year, and the rocket segment is up 29%.
So perhaps SPXC's current strategy is to use Starlink as the company's primary cash-flow source, and then leverage that steady cash flow to focus on developing the AI and rocket segments. While that is quite burn-intensive, it may also create an opportunity to build a higher growth ceiling.
This is also supported by the company's high spending. Currently, expenditures total $18.4 billion, and about $15.8 billion of that is invested in AI infrastructure.
In addition, company management has said that capital expenditures will remain at a high level over the next two quarters.
However, although from the standpoint of revenue growth alone, the results exceeding expectations should have the effect of encouraging the stock price, the stock has still been trending downward. One of the main reasons appears to be the heavy cost spending.
Basically, investors will definitely worry about its short-term cash flow and whether the returns later will be proportional to the investment. In simple terms: will this future growth be worth the money for us investors?
But from a long-term perspective, if the goal is to enhance the company's own competitiveness and widen the gap versus other peers, this painful period of high capital expenditures will inevitably need to be endured!
Interestingly, after the financial report came out and the stock price had dropped, when the first batch of shares became eligible for sale and the potential selling pressure arrived, the stock price actually bounced back and rose (up nearly 25% from the low point). It seems that the first batch of unlock pressure has not caused investors to panic too much. Some holders still firmly believe in SPXC’s future development (holding steady). With more batches of unlocks still to come, the key will be how the market digests them afterward?
