- Analysts believe SpaceX’s odds of a successful AI-related launch could be boosted by using artificial intelligence.
- According to a report by SpaceX, the company could raise $7.8 billion by attracting $18.3 billion in investment, with the figure for the first half of the year.
- The material also suggests that plans for the next IPO may be delayed by six months.
SpaceX, whose IPO filing was submitted in early April, is expected to open the year with a valuation of more than 11%. The report says that this is likely to be driven by financial markets’ expectations of the company’s AI-related launch.
It also says that there is a chance that the first half of 2025 will see Falcon 9, which is expected to be launched in the first half of 2025, with a view to launching the first satellite in the next 12 months. The report adds that the new contract is likely to be worth more than $125.
SpaceX’s IPO could be valued at $7.8 billion, while investors could pay $18.3 billion, and the estimated number of shares would be $143 million for the three months ending in June and $2 billion for the next six months.
Based on one of the materials, analysts say that SpaceX may have a strong position in the AI-related market. In particular, it is stated that the company’s valuation may be driven by its Starlink internet business, while the company’s total revenue could reach $36.8 billion, and the IPO could be priced at $93.5 billion. AJ Bell Russ Mould also believes that, in the best case, the stock could rise to a higher price than the current estimate, even if the numbers are lower.
Another material says that SpaceX is valued at $135 per share as of April 12, while the company’s share price could reach $125 by the end of the year. The report also says that the company’s valuation is expected to grow further, with the company’s first launch of the year taking place in the next six months.
Regarding the SpaceX contract, Andre Lavoie says that he first acquired 200,000 shares in the company in 2009 for $23 million. The material adds that Lavoie plans to sell some of his shares, only to the extent that it is possible, and that SpaceX may sell all of its shares at a later stage: first 20%—six months, and then—until the end of the year.
