SpaceX shows strong growth in its first earnings report since going public

TL;DR

SpaceX reported $7.8 billion in revenue and a $541 million loss in its first quarterly earnings report as a public company.
Revenue exceeded analyst forecasts, with all three main business units (Space, Connectivity, AI) performing above consensus.
The connectivity unit, largely Starlink, brought in $4.3 billion, surpassing estimates, as Starlink subscribers doubled to 12 million.
Elon Musk expressed the potential for Starlink to provide the majority of the world's internet.
The Starship division generated $962 million in revenue, and the AI unit booked $2.6 billion.
SpaceX expects to deliver significantly more payload to orbit annually than the rest of the world combined.
Despite strong revenue growth, SpaceX shares have fallen nearly 50% since its IPO, trading below the offer price.
Investors are reportedly focused on short-term value generation rather than long-term promises like Mars missions.
Goldman Sachs noted SpaceX's track record of achieving seemingly implausible goals.
Last year, SpaceX had $18.7 billion in revenue but a net loss exceeding $4.9 billion.
SpaceX is targeting a moon landing in 2028, but no Starship has yet been put into Earth orbit.
