SpaceX increased revenue but remained in the red after results
Elon Musk's company SpaceX released its first quarterly results since its stock market debut on June 12. In the second quarter of 2026, its revenue grew by 92 percent to 7.8 billion dollars, but the net loss reached 541 million dollars. hnonline.sk ↗
The company thus significantly reduced its loss compared to the same period last year, when it lost approximately one billion dollars. The growth in revenue was driven mainly by the Starlink satellite internet and agreements related to computing capacity for artificial intelligence development. At the same time, SpaceX continues to increase its spending, which keeps its finances in the red. Tagesspiegel ↗
According to several reports, Musk expects that SpaceX's business could in the future generate trillions of dollars in revenue. However, investors reacted cautiously to the results, and the shares fell after their release. After the initial euphoria over the record-breaking stock market debut, market attention is shifting to the company's ability to turn rapid growth into profit. Die Zeit ↗
An important part of the outlook remains Starlink, which is expanding revenue beyond rocket launches themselves. However, SpaceX also remains dependent on large contracts and costly investments in space infrastructure. The coming quarters will show whether revenue growth can reduce losses even as spending on the development of services and technologies continues. Welt ↗
