Strongly BullishRob Maurer reviewed SpaceX's Q2 2026 earnings call and expressed strong conviction that the connectivity and AI businesses are significantly underappreciated by the market. Management highlighted accelerating revenue growth, expanding margins across all three segments, and reiterated a pulled-forward timeline for reaching $1 trillion in annual revenue.
Key Arguments
- V3 Starlink satellites combined with Starship's lower launch costs could cut the cost of delivering connectivity service by roughly 100x versus the current Falcon/V2 system.
- Connectivity segment gross margin expanded to 52% in Q2 with ARPU stable at $66, showing strong unit economics even as the company expands into lower-ARPU international markets.
- The AI segment turned adjusted EBITDA positive at $1.1 billion in Q2 as new cloud services agreements with Google and Anthropic began ramping.
- Management pulled forward its internal trillion-dollar revenue projection from 2031 to 2030, with a non-zero chance of hitting it as early as 2029.
- Management reiterated a trajectory to reach $100 billion in annualized revenue run rate by the end of 2026, driven by growth across space, connectivity, and AI segments.
