ResearchSpaceX sin AI-regnskapsbok: Inntekter ser fortsatt til StarLink, kapitalutgifter har allerede fokus på AI
Ifølge selskapets kvartalsrapport for andre kvartal, vil SpaceX gjennomføre sin første børsnotering (IPO) i juni 2026. Den påfølgende første kvartalsrapporten etter børsnoteringen inkluderer romfart, Link og AI side om side i den offentlige regnskapsrapporten. Tidligere var det vanlig å omtale selskapet ut fra rakettoppskytinger og Starlink-satellitter. Nå er også de interne prioriteringene synlige gjennom tall som kan verifiseres.
Det som lettest fanger oppmerksomheten, er veksten i AI. Men ifølge vedlegget til selskapets andre kvartalsresultater bidro AI-avdelingen med 32,8 % av konsernets inntekter, men sto for hele 86,2 % av kapitalutgiftene i kvartalet. Inntekter og kapitalutgifter peker ikke i samme retning, og det er nettopp dette som gjør denne rapporten verdt å analysere nærmere.
Hva SpaceX tjener penger på nå
La oss først se på inntektsoversikten, konklusjonen er ikke mystisk. Link-avdelingen er fortsatt den største inntektskilden i kvartalet. Ifølge vedlegget til andre kvartalsresultater genererte den 4,291 milliarder dollar i inntekter, mens AI-avdelingen sto for 2,561 milliarder dollar. Denne avdelingen inkluderer Starlinks virksomhet rettet mot forbrukere, bedrifter og myndigheter, og utgjør fortsatt det største inntektslaget i perioden.
Figur én viser tre utvalgte rapporteringstidspunkter, ikke en sammenhengende kvartalsserie. Likevel er endringen i AI tydelig. I det siste kvartalet har den oransje delen blitt merkbart større, mens Link-avdelingen fortsatt dominerer med det største blå området. Det samme selskapet driver to virksomheter med ulik veksttakt: på den ene siden den nå større Link-tjenesteinntekten, på den andre siden den raskt voksende AI-virksomheten.
Her må vi også definere en grense for "AI-avdelingen". Ifølge vedlegget til andre kvartalsresultater inkluderer den Grok, X-plattformen, AI-løsninger for forbrukere og bedrifter, samt AI-beregningsinfrastruktur. Derfor kan ikke AI-inntektene i figuren direkte likestilles med ren skytjenesteinntekt, da den også inkluderer annonseinntekter.
Dette endrer hvordan man bør lese tallene. Hvis man kun fokuserer på AI sin år-til-år vekst, kan man lett tro det er en allerede uavhengig og moden skytjenestevirksomhet. Rapporten viser snarere en virksomhetsportefølje i sammenslåing og ekspansjon. Den har modeller, plattformer og en AI-infrastruktur som fortsatt bygges ut.
Hvor pengene går
Inntektsoversikten viser solgte tjenester, mens kapitalutgiftene viser hvor selskapet plasserer infrastrukturen. I figur to har AI-andelen av inntektene ennå ikke tatt igjen Link-avdelingen, men kapitalutgiftene er allerede langt høyere. Ifølge vedlegget til andre kvartalsresultater utgjør AI 32,8 % av inntektene, men 86,2 % av kapitalutgiftene.
Å sette denne kontrasten i beløp gir bedre forståelse. Ifølge vedlegget var AI-avdelingens kapitalutgifter i kvartalet 15,828 milliarder dollar, mens inntektene var 2,561 milliarder dollar. Dette kan sammenlignes med å sette byggekostnadene for en fabrikk opp mot leieinntektene i samme periode; man ser størrelsesforskjellen, men kan ikke matche post for post. Her sammenlignes avdelingens kapitalutgifter med inntektene i samme periode, ikke kontantstrømmen.
Figur tre viser disse to søylene ved tre rapporteringstidspunkter. I det siste kvartalet tilsvarte hver dollar i AI-inntekt 6,18 dollar i kapitalutgifter, ifølge vedlegget. Dette er ikke en bekreftelsesrate, og kan ikke brukes til å forutsi fremtidig fortjeneste. Det viser bare at inntektene og investeringene i utstyr, datasentre og tilhørende infrastruktur for AI foreløpig ikke er på samme nivå.
Selskapets oppgitte nominelle effektforbruk har også økt fra 0,4 GW for ett år siden til 1,4 GW. Ifølge definisjonen i vedlegget er dette basert på installerte GPU-er og total effekt, og representerer ikke faktisk strømforbruk eller utnyttelsesgrad. Denne utviklingen kan sammenlignes med å legge til flere kjørefelt på en ny motorvei. Det som kan bekreftes nå, er at veien blir bredere, men rapporten oppgir ikke hvor mye trafikk hvert felt har.
En annen kolonne i samme avdelingsoversikt gir en mer nøktern kommentar til denne ekspansjonen. Ifølge vedlegget hadde AI-avdelingen fortsatt et driftsunderskudd på 1,257 milliarder dollar i kvartalet. Justert EBITDA kan hjelpe til å forstå driftsstrukturen, men kan ikke erstatte kontantstrøm. Kapitalutgiftene, justert EBITDA og driftsunderskudd i figuren er basert på ulike regnskapsprinsipper og kan ikke erstatte hverandre.
141 milliarder dollar i kontraktsalg, hvor mye økte inntektene i andre kvartal?
Det som lett blir overdrevet i rapporten, er kontraktsalget på totalt 14,1 milliarder dollar for flere skytjenesteavtaler. Ifølge vedlegget genererte disse avtalene 1,6 milliarder dollar i økte AI-infrastrukturinntekter i kvartalet. Førstnevnte er total kontraktsverdi, sistnevnte viser bare økningen i AI-infrastrukturinntekter fra nytegnede avtaler i kvartalet.
Vedlegget oppgir ikke total inntektsbekreftelse for disse nye avtalene i kvartalet. Derfor kan man ikke beregne bekreftelsesrate ut fra disse tallene, og differansen kan ikke tolkes som uinntektsført beløp.
Ifølge vedlegget har SpaceX en konkret definisjon av "kontraktsalg". Det dekker total kontraktsverdi for ikke-kansellerbare perioder, inkludert inntekter som allerede er bekreftet i perioden og tilhørende utsatt inntekt, men ekskluderer fremtidige beløp som kunden kan kansellere. Å betrakte total kontraktsverdi som kvartalsinntekt er som å regne en helårs leiekontrakt som utbetalt leie den dagen.
En annen kontraktsoversikt for hele selskapet må også vurderes separat. Ifølge kvartalsrapporten for andre kvartal var ordrebeholdningen ved periodens slutt 47,461 milliarder dollar, hvorav utsatt inntekt på 14,286 milliarder dollar bare er en del. Disse to og kontraktsalget for skytjenester kan overlappe, og kan ikke summeres som uavhengige kontraktspooler.
Selskapet forventer at 56 % av ordrebeholdningen vil bli inntektsført innen ett år. Ifølge kvartalsrapporten gir dette en tidsdimensjon til inntektene, og opprettholder avstanden mellom levering og inntektsbekreftelse. Ordrer som venter ved døren, betyr ikke at hver enkelt vil passere inntektsbekreftelseskassen i samme kvartal.
SpaceXs nye regnskapsbok er nå delt i to sider. Den ene viser Link-avdelingens inntekter i perioden, den andre AI-avdelingens kapitalutgifter. Når man leser disse separat, fremstår kontraktsalget mer som totalprisen for en ikke-kansellerbar kontraktsperiode, ikke som et svar på kvartalsinntektene.
Hook:
SpaceX just beat Wall Street's expectations—so why did investors hit the sell button?
Because in today's market, making money isn't enough anymore. Investors are asking a different question:
"How much cash are you burning to keep the dream alive?"
SpaceX's latest earnings actually looked impressive:
✅ Revenue reached $7.81 billion, beating expectations by 13%.
✅ Loss per share came in at $0.09, much better than the expected $0.26 loss.
✅ Starlink's operating margin climbed to 38.6%, proving the business can generate real profits.
But beneath those headline numbers, investors found something more worrying:
⚠️ Capital spending surged to $18.37 billion, more than 40% above expectations.
⚠️ Free cash flow for the first half of the year was negative $25 billion.
⚠️ The AI segment generated $2.56 billion in revenue while consuming $15.83 billion in investment.
In other words, SpaceX isn't just growing fast—it's spending even faster.
And there's another problem: on August 6, 911.5 million shares will become eligible for sale, equal to 141% of the current public float.
Not all of those shares will hit the market, but even a small wave of selling could create serious short-term pressure.
That's the dilemma investors are facing right now:
• The business is improving, but cash flow remains weak.
• Revenue is beating expectations, but spending is growing even faster.
• The earnings surprise hasn't been fully absorbed, and the unlock event is already around the corner.
The market used to buy anything labeled "AI," "high growth," or "Musk."
Now, investors are pulling out their calculators.
Because stories can keep investors excited for years—but selling pressure arrives overnight.

This earnings season is sending a clear message: beating estimates is no longer enough.
SpaceX reported its first quarterly results as a public company, with Q2 revenue up 92% YoY to $7.81B and its operating loss narrowing from $970M a year earlier to $143M. Starlink subscribers doubled to 12M, helping connectivity revenue rise 66%.
But AI infrastructure capex reached $15.8B, up from $749M a year ago. SpaceX said NVIDIA hardware will power Starmind AI1, while Musk said its broader AI infrastructure would be built exclusively on NVIDIA chips. The stock gave back gains after hours. Next comes a supply test: 911.5M shares, about 12% of shares outstanding and more than the current public float, become eligible for sale on Aug 6.
AMD told a similar story. Q2 revenue reached $11.54B, up 50% YoY, while adjusted EPS came in at $1.66. Data Center revenue jumped 107% to $6.7B, or 58% of sales, and Q3 revenue guidance of about $13B topped consensus. Shares still fell more than 8% after hours as investors questioned whether the growth rate and roughly 56% non-GAAP gross margin could justify the valuation as Helios begins to ramp.
Three themes are driving the reaction:
· Growth quality: Is AI demand converting into durable profits?
· Capital intensity: How much spending is required to sustain that growth?
· Expectations: How much good news was already priced in?
SpaceX's NVIDIA decision also highlights the competitive backdrop facing AMD. It does not weaken AMD's reported Data Center growth, but it shows how fiercely major AI infrastructure contracts are contested.
The earnings bar has moved. The question is no longer whether companies can beat estimates, but whether their results can outrun expectations.
For crypto users, tokenized equities are bringing these earnings-driven moves closer to on-chain markets.
What matters most in this phase of the AI cycle: faster growth, stronger margins, or clearer returns on capex?

🚨 The Next Big $SPCX Opportunity May Come After the Lock-Up, Not Before
Most investors are focused on the stock's sharp decline.
The more important question is what happens after the first major lock-up expires on August 6, when a large number of previously restricted shares become eligible for sale.
Lock-up expirations often create short-term selling pressure as early investors gain liquidity. While that can weigh on price, it can also create opportunities if the company's long-term fundamentals remain intact.
A historical example is $PLTR : • IPO at $10
• Rallied to $39
• Sold off after the lock-up expiration as insiders took profits
• Bottomed near $6 before institutional accumulation
• Eventually rallied to new highs
Could $SPCX follow a similar path? It's far too early to know—but the upcoming lock-up will be an important event to watch.
Current milestones: • IPO: June 12
• Early high: $225
• Recent price: Around $111
• First major lock-up: August 6
For me, the key question is whether the $110–115 area can hold once any lock-up-related selling pressure is absorbed. If buyers successfully defend that zone and fundamentals remain strong, it could lay the groundwork for a stronger recovery over time.
The focus isn't on chasing headlines—it's on waiting for price action and market structure to confirm the opportunity.

SpaceX ($SPCX) CEO Elon Musk believes the market is significantly undervaluing Starlink's long-term potential. During the company's first earnings call since going public, he described Starlink as one of SpaceX's most important growth drivers.
Musk said Starlink has the potential to become a major pillar of global internet infrastructure, with the possibility of handling most of the world's internet traffic in regions where the service is available over the next decade.
SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell added that the upcoming Starlink Mobile network could deliver speeds and performance up to 100 times better than the current system. These improvements will be powered by newly acquired EchoStar spectrum and next-generation V3 satellites, which are expected to offer around 10 times more communications capacity.
The company also expects rapid growth in AI, humanoid robots, and autonomous vehicles to drive a sharp increase in global bandwidth demand, further strengthening Starlink's position as a critical internet platform.
Financially, SpaceX posted an impressive second quarter, reporting $7.81 billion in revenue—up 92% year over year and well above the $6.93 billion analysts expected. The company also reported a smaller-than-expected loss of $0.09 per share, outperforming forecasts of a $0.24 loss.
Looking ahead, management expects to achieve a $100 billion annualized revenue run rate by the end of 2026 and now targets $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030—one year earlier than previously projected—with a chance of reaching that milestone as soon as 2029.

SpaceX Crushes Expectations — A Powerful Signal for AI, Semiconductors, and Global Risk Assets
SpaceX delivered one of the biggest earnings surprises of the season, posting second-quarter 2026 results that significantly exceeded Wall Street expectations. Revenue nearly doubled from a year ago, while its loss per share came in far better than analysts had projected. Adjusted EBITDA also surpassed forecasts, reinforcing that the company's business is scaling faster than expected.
Starlink remained the primary growth engine, driven by a rapidly expanding subscriber base, stronger enterprise demand, and increasing government contracts. The results further highlight SpaceX's transformation into a global technology infrastructure company with increasingly resilient cash flows.
Meanwhile, AI-related operations continued to accelerate as demand for compute infrastructure and data centers surged. The company is investing aggressively in AI, committing tens of billions of dollars in capital expenditures. Although these investments pressured the stock after hours, they reflect confidence in long-term growth rather than short-term profits.
The report reinforces the view that the AI supercycle remains intact, supporting semiconductor and memory leaders such as $SNDK, $SKHYNIX, and $NVDA, which are positioned to benefit from continued AI infrastructure spending.
For crypto, stronger-than-expected results from a major technology company can improve overall risk sentiment. If capital continues flowing into AI and technology, digital assets could also attract renewed investor interest.
SpaceX's latest earnings confirm that growth remains the defining market theme of 2026. Despite heavy AI investment, the company's strengthening fundamentals suggest the long-term technology cycle still has substantial room to expand.

$SNDK $SKHYNIX
SpaceX’s Q2 revenue reached $7.81B, up 92% YoY, while its operating loss narrowed from $970M to $143M. The NVIDIA partnership for the Starmind AI1 satellite computing payload also strengthens the long-term technology case.
Still, the beat matters less near term than the supply and capital-intensity tests ahead. With up to 20% of restricted shares eligible for sale on Aug 6 and XSPCX down about 3.6% when checked, the market may need to absorb fresh supply before fundamentals regain control. The topic is currently ranked No. 2 trending on OKX Orbit.

Peter Diamandis: @SpaceX has the potential to become the world’s first $10 trillion company
“Well, if anybody can do it, Elon can. I think this has the potential to really be the first $10 trillion company out there and growing. He’s building civilizational-level infrastructure. The challenge is, I don’t think the market knows how to value this company. It’s not a company, it’s really four different businesses wrapped into one vertical, and you have to look at each individually.
“The first business is global communications with Starlink. Starlink is going to deliver global gigabit connectivity to the entire planet, billions of individuals. They’re just making a dent right now. Then they’re going direct satellite-to-cell phone. As Gwynne said on the earnings call yesterday, that’s a $600 billion level of revenue potential, and they expect to take a chunk of that.
“The second business is delivering AI compute. They’ve already signed up $20 billion in annualized revenue, and they’re building faster than anybody else. They announced two gigawatts of compute by the end of this year and are shooting for upwards of 10 gigawatts next year… Elon said they’re launching their first AI satellites in partnership with Nvidia in 2027, much faster than anybody thought.”
Written before SpaceX, at 4 a.m. $SPCX earnings report, I won’t stay up late waiting for the report, so here’s an early preview for sharing only
What are the key points to watch in this SPCX earnings report?
1. SPCX’s earnings can’t be viewed solely through the lens of traditional aerospace company financials; the core focus should be on balancing AI capital expenditure and revenue.
2. Currently, the only business truly generating profit and cash flow for SPCX is the Starlink business. Reviewing revenue for 2025 and Q1 2026, Starlink remains the main source of corporate income. Therefore, the market’s main concern is Starlink’s business growth, profitability, and whether it can support the company’s current capital expenditures.
3. The market’s current worry is whether Starlink’s profitability can cover SPCX’s AI business and aerospace investments, and whether the company can demonstrate a transition from "high growth, high burn" to "high growth but with controllable cash flow." The biggest concern in the Q2 earnings season is excessive capital spending without effective profitability.
4. Regarding AI business development, if Starlink supports current operations, SPCX’s AI business is the core future profit driver. Investment is about trading expectations and the future, so AI represents future profitability. The focus here is on revenue from AI data centers and computing power businesses.
The validation logic for this segment depends on AI revenue, AI capital expenditure, AI contracts, and the timing of future revenue realization. If revenue, contracts, and capital spending all rise, the market can accept it. The most worrying scenario is rising capital expenditure without a corresponding increase in AI revenue and orders, which would raise concerns about capital spending.
5. The company’s overall capital expenditure and cash flow: operating cash flow minus capital expenditure equals free cash flow. This is a key metric because if free cash flow continues to decline sharply, it will increase market concerns about SPCX’s future financing .
BREAKING: $SPCX is down -10% today despite beating on its first ever earnings report.
Revenue came in at $7.8 billion against $6.81 billion expected, up 92% year over year, with Starlink at 12 million subscribers.
The problem was capex.
Spending jumped sixfold to $18.4 billion in one quarter, mostly on $AI infrastructure.
The market wants proof this spending turns into profit.
Elon Musk responded by pulling his target forward, saying SpaceX hits $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030 instead of 2031.
The stock now trades around $111, below its $135 IPO price. The lockup expires tomorrow, freeing up to 20% of shares.
$AMD fell today for the same reason. The market has stopped paying for $AI spending.
🚨SPACEX STILL HOLDS 18,712 BITCOIN!
SpaceX confirmed in its first public Q2 earnings that it continues to hold the full 18,712 $BTC on its balance sheet, no sales since the IPO disclosure.
The position, originally acquired for about $661 million, remains intact and is valued at roughly $1.1-1.2 billion.
