Days after its public listing pushed its valuation above $2 trillion, SpaceX is projecting a revenue scale far beyond current aerospace industry norms. Elon Musk says the rocket company could generate $1 trillion in revenue by 2030, even as its latest annual results show rising sales alongside a swing to a net loss.
Highlights
- SpaceX set a $1 trillion revenue target by 2030 after its public market debut valued the company above $2 trillion on Friday.
- Revenue guidance surpasses Wall Street forecasts, with Goldman estimating over $470 billion and Morgan Stanley nearly $330 billion by 2030.
- SpaceX projects 2025 revenue at $18.67 billion, up from $14.02 billion, but expects to swing to a $4.94 billion net loss from $791 million profit.
Revenue target follows blockbuster listing
As reported by Reuters, Musk wrote on X on Sunday that SpaceX could bring in $1 trillion in revenue by 2030. He added that he would be surprised if revenue is not greater than $1 trillion in 2031, in a reply to journalist and financial commentator Jon Erlichman.SpaceX went public on Friday and became the sixth-largest U.S. company, extending Musk's standing as the world's first trillionaire. The forecast comes just two days after that market debut, which values the company at more than $2 trillion.
Growth expectations outpace Wall Street estimates
Despite its valuation, SpaceX still generates far less revenue than similarly valued technology groups such as Broadcom and Amazon.com. In 2025, the company's revenue rises to $18.67 billion from $14.02 billion a year earlier, but it swings to a net loss of $4.94 billion from a profit of $791 million.Some Wall Street analysts remain cautious about the pace of future expansion. Goldman estimates SpaceX revenue would exceed $470 billion in 2030, while Morgan Stanley projects nearly $330 billion, according to a Wall Street Journal report published earlier this month.
Our earlier coverage of SpaceX’s Nasdaq debut explained how the company’s more than $2 trillion valuation reignited debate over whether Wall Street’s “Magnificent Seven” label still reflects today’s market leaders. We also outlined how strategists have begun testing new shorthand groupings—such as adding SpaceX and other major AI names—while noting that some investors expect the existing term to persist alongside any new terminology.
