SpaceX Stock Slumps as Earnings and Huge Insider Unlock Loom

Aug. 4 results will test whether Starlink and AI margins justify heavy capex before an Aug. 6 release makes 911.5 million insider shares tradable.

Overview

  • SpaceX shares have fallen to about $108, roughly half below their mid‑June peak, and hit multi‑week lows as investors brace for the coming catalysts.
  • Analyst consensus expects roughly $6.7–6.9 billion in Q2 revenue and about $2 billion in adjusted EBITDA in the Aug. 4 report, with particular focus on Starlink subscriber growth and AI margins.
  • A scheduled Aug. 6 lockup expiry would make about 911.5 million insider shares eligible to trade, which could more than double the current public float and represent close to $100 billion at current prices.
  • Short interest is very large at about 219.3 million shares, equal to a high percentage of the tradable float and creating asymmetric downside pressure while also leaving room for a squeeze if results surprise.
  • Investors are also watching SpaceX's multiyear capital spending and debt plans to fund Starship and AI data centers because rising capex expectations have widened doubts about long‑term returns and have pressured valuations across the aerospace sector.
