According to Tim Farrar, a Silicon Valley-based satcom analyst, SpaceX stock jumped 8% late Monday after the company's valuation crossed $2.5 trillion for the first time. Farrar said the company would need a 50-fold increase in revenue over the next five years to justify its market value, noting that current operations in launches, Starlink, and emerging AI initiatives alone do not support a trillion-dollar valuation.
Musk recently predicted SpaceX could generate $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030 and exceed that level in 2031. Farrar flagged Starlink as a key near-term concern, citing sharply declining revenue per user and recent price hikes suggesting slower-than-expected growth.
