Two ETFs for long or short leverage on SPCXRecent Updates on Space Exploration Technologies Corp. stock
SpaceX (SPCX) recently saw bullish options activity, with shares jumping about 12% to near $129 and call volume tripling the daily average after Argus upgraded the stock to Buy with a $160 target. Implied volatility rose modestly while put-call skew flattened, signaling a supportive options backdrop.
The company’s first post-IPO quarter guided to a year-end 2026 revenue run rate near $100B, above prior forecasts, and a major lock-up expiration freed 911M shares but the stock traded roughly 3% higher. Analysts remain broadly positive, with a Moderate Buy consensus and an average 12-month target near $232, implying substantial upside despite near-term volatility risks.
Spark’s Take on SPCX Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SPCX is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by weaker underlying fundamentals (sharp 2025 profitability decline and materially negative/free-cash-flow burn) and bearish-to-neutral technical momentum. These are partially offset by a very strong earnings-call outlook highlighting rapid growth, improving loss trajectory, major commercial wins, and significant liquidity to fund expansion, but the investment intensity and execution risks keep the overall score near the low-to-mid range.
