Google’s SpaceX windfall fuels near $100B unrealized gains, but AI race looms

TL;DR
Alphabet’s early SpaceX stake is now worth about $94.1B, contributing to nearly $100B in unrealized gains as SpaceX’s valuation nears $1.5T after its IPO; Google also backs Anthropic and Databricks. Despite the windfall, earnings questions centered on capex and AI progress, with revenue up ~25% and the stock slipping ~1.2% as executives avoided discussing the investments on the call.
