SpaceX Valuation Reassessed as AI Revenue Forecasts Surge

SpaceX’s stock valuation has been revised upward significantly following a sharp acceleration in its artificial intelligence business. Wall Street estimates for 2027 sales and Ebitda have jumped to $100 billion and $59 billion, respectively, driven by AI revenue projections that now stand at $60 billion for 2027, up from $38 billion in July. This growth has shifted the company’s expected cash flow from a projected burn of $24 billion in 2030 to positive free cash flow. While Barron’s acknowledges its previous undervaluation of the stock, analysts remain divided on whether the current valuation is justified by sustainable AI agent revenue or merely temporary compute leasing.
