The Week

SPCX closed the week at $148.68, down 2.64% from the previous Friday’s close of $152.71. The S&P 500 gained 1.21% over the same stretch, leaving SPCX roughly 3.85 percentage points behind the benchmark. The week had a clear fade-after-spike shape: the Monday open at $154.77 led to a session high of $158.13, but the stock slid through Wednesday’s 4% drop to $148.36, touched a week low of $145.88 on Thursday, and settled at $148.68 on Friday. Weekly amplitude was 7.91%, while average daily volume of roughly 65.9m shares ran about 11% below the median, pointing to lighter participation.

Key Events

The week’s through-line was the intersection of SpaceX’s AI ambitions and the wider space sector. On Thursday, Elon Musk said SpaceXAI’s Colossus 2 data centre could run more than 1.2 million Nvidia GB200 and GB300 chips by year-end, and added that SpaceX could reach GPT-6-level AI in three months and a leading position within six. A day earlier, Google said it would run its first space AI-chip test under Project Suncatcher and launch an experimental satellite for an orbital AI data centre, with SpaceX seen as a potential beneficiary. On Friday, markets digested reports that SpaceX acquired xAI for $250 billion and that the unit’s total addressable market was pegged at $26.5 trillion. Around the same time, the company’s president filed to sell nearly $52 million in stock. On the competitive front, Blue Origin raised $10 billion to fund New Glenn and its TeraWave satellite network. Starship Flight 14 also moved into preparation.

The Week Ahead

The macro calendar is busier over the coming days. Monday brings the Dallas Fed manufacturing business activity index, with a prior reading of 11.6. Tuesday packs in FHFA house prices, the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-city index, JOLTS job openings and consumer confidence; JOLTS previously printed 7.271m versus a 7.24m forecast, and consumer confidence came in at 89.4 versus a 90 consensus. For SPCX specifically, the timing of Starship Flight 14, any follow-up from Musk on SpaceXAI’s expansion, and progress on Google’s Project Suncatcher could all shape how the market weighs the AI-and-space narrative next week.

In Short

SPCX fell this week even as the AI narrative heated up, suggesting the market did not chase the headlines for long. The stock remains above its 60-day moving average of $137.59, but the weekly close back near the 20-day line of $148.395 reflects fading near-term momentum. On the latest trading day, large-lot money was a net seller. Valuation remains stretched relative to current earnings, with enthusiasm priced around very large long-term assumptions for SpaceXAI. The question ahead is whether the AI story translates into concrete launch and data-centre milestones, and how the macro data flow shifts risk appetite across the space sector.
