$SPCX could be one of the biggest long-term bets in the market but the valuation leaves very little room for mistakes.
SpaceX already dominates orbital launches, with Falcon 9 reportedly carrying roughly 80% of global payload mass last year. But the bigger opportunity could be what happens if Starship achieves reliable, rapid reusability.
Raymond James analyst Brian Gesuale has a $800 price target, while VY Capital believes SpaceX could exceed a $10T valuation within 5–7 years. Cathie Wood has also argued that each Starship launch could eventually generate around $1B, creating a theoretical path toward $10T in annual Starship revenue if Musk's 10,000-flight target were achieved.
Starlink is already generating recurring revenue from satellite broadband, including aviation connectivity, while SpaceX continues using its launch and Starlink ecosystem to fund the next layer of growth.
The challenge is execution. 10,000 Starship flights per year by 2030 would require an extraordinary increase in launch cadence, reliability, infrastructure and demand. Even if Starship succeeds, timelines could slip and costs could remain higher than expected.
And valuation matters. At roughly 20x next year's expected sales and 83x projected earnings, investors are already paying heavily for future growth.
