SpaceX (SPCX) shares rose 0.87% to $153.16 after rebounding from an intraday low near $150.70. The stock briefly approached $154.80 before easing and stabilizing around $153. Merger speculation and new business developments have drawn attention as the company extends a 10.9% monthly gain, although no confirmed merger agreement or transaction terms were identified. SpaceX reported 2025 revenue of $18.67 billion, up 33% annually, but also reported a net loss and continued negative free cash flow. NASA's use of the company's crewed mission services remains important, while Starlink (SpaceX's commercial satellite and communications operation) continues expanding across multiple markets. Larger computing infrastructure projects are also adding equipment and long-term investment requirements. SpaceX trades at a price-to-book ratio (market value compared with shareholder equity) of 16.2 times, above the 14.8-times closer peer-group multiple and the 1.7-times broader telecom industry average. The valuation premium comes as the company funds equipment, facilities, launches, network expansion and infrastructure across its launch, satellite, communications and computing businesses.
