Analyst activity also features prominently: 26 analysts are reported rating the stock a buy against 8 who disagree, while Morgan Stanley reiterated a $300 price target.

Looking ahead, no confirmed earnings date appears on the calendar; the last report on 4 August 2026 showed an EPS beat of -0.09 against a -0.26 estimate, with a -5.5% reaction.

About Space Exploration Technologies

Space Exploration Technologies builds rockets and spacecraft and puts them to work carrying satellites, supplies, and astronauts toward low Earth orbit, the space station, and destinations further out such as the Moon and Mars. Its fleet includes the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles plus the Starship system, and it also produces the Dragon capsule for crewed and cargo flights. Beyond launches, it runs the Starlink service, beaming internet access down to homes and businesses from a network of satellites in orbit.
