In its third-quarter report, SpaceX (SPCX) renamed its artificial intelligence segment “Super Intelligence,” a term CEO Elon Musk favors and that President Donald Trump has promoted. Sales for the segment rose 830% year on year to $7.56 billion, making it the largest segment by revenue and more than the combined $7.02 billion of its space and connectivity segments. On the third-quarter call, Musk said he expects annualized recurring revenue of $500 billion to $1 trillion by the end of 2027. The article puts the market capitalization at roughly $2 trillion against $18.7 billion in sales last year, describes the stock as high-risk, high-reward, and argues that the segment's momentum justifies the valuation.

- SpaceX's "Super Intelligence" Segment Just Made the Stock a Must-Own
SpaceX's 'super intelligence' (SI) segment, formerly its AI business, generated $7.56 billion in Q3 revenue, up 830% from $813 million in 2025 and well above $2.56 billion in Q2. Most of the growth came from AI models, including subscription platforms, and infrastructure, which rose from $2.56 billion to $7.02 billion; X ad revenue grew from $454 million to $538 million. The segment's capital expenditures reached $16.4 billion in the quarter. The author views the stock as attractively priced at current levels if growth continues, but argues that such a pace may be hard to sustain, and the stock gave back its roughly 10% post-earnings gain by Thursday.
- Think You Missed Out on Investing in SpaceX Stock? Think Again.
After SpaceX (SPCX) reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter 2026 earnings, the stock rose 7.7% from Oct. 20 to Oct. 21 to $159.31, then closed at $147.49 on Oct. 23 as investors scrutinized capital spending. In Q3 2026 SpaceX reported $19.6 billion in capital expenditures, of which $16.4 billion went to its AI division, and it does not expect to launch AI satellites until 2028 at the earliest. Since trading began in June, shares have ranged from $104.83 to $225.64. Of the 47 analysts covering the stock, 77% rate it a buy, 19% a hold and 4% a sell; the median one-year price target is $240, a 62.7% gain from the Oct. 23 close, while the lowest target is $118, about a 20% decline. The article stresses that investing in SpaceX requires a long-term outlook and tolerance for erratic price swings, and that price targets are not guarantees.
- SpaceX Shares Surge as Elon Musk Makes Huge Revenue Prediction. Is the Stock Still a Buy?
SpaceX (SPCX) shares rose after Elon Musk predicted annual recurring revenue (ARR) of between $500 billion and $1 trillion in 2027, though he acknowledged that meeting all his 2027 targets is not guaranteed. Q3 revenue surged 161% to $14.6 billion, beating the $12.7 billion LSEG consensus, while adjusted EBITDA more than quadrupled to $8.8 billion. The superintelligence (formerly AI) segment led growth, with revenue climbing from $813 million to $7.56 billion, and Starlink connectivity revenue rose 69% while its operating income roughly doubled to $2.4 billion. Growth plans rest on bringing an additional 10 gigawatts of compute online in 2027 and accelerating Starship launches, though the company still needs to fully recover and reuse Starship. The article also flags risks from heavy AI infrastructure capex and the possibility that AI economics weaken if compute supply and demand balance out.
- Fantastic News for SpaceX Stock Investors
SpaceX's third-quarter revenue rose 161% year over year to $14.6 billion, beating market expectations, with connectivity sales up 69.5% to $5.2 billion and Super Intelligence (SI) revenue up 830% to $7.6 billion, including $608 million from an acquisition that closed in August. Connectivity operating income reached $2.4 billion, and SI posted $431 million in operating income versus a $1.7 billion operating loss a year earlier, while net income was $4.4 billion compared with a $1.1 billion net loss. CEO Elon Musk has said the company could reach $1 trillion in revenue by 2030, and the author notes that Starship could reduce average launch costs by up to 99%. The author points to risks including Starship development, regulation and slower AI industry growth, and cites a price-to-sales ratio of 68.5. The author remains skeptical that the stock can deliver strong returns over the medium term from current levels.
- Elon Musk and SpaceX Just Delivered Incredible News to Nvidia That Could Help the Stock Double in the Next Year
Elon Musk said SpaceX (SPCX) plans to aggressively ramp up AI infrastructure spending to reach annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $500 billion to $1 trillion by the end of 2027, and that SpaceX will use Nvidia chips exclusively, including the Vera Rubin architecture. He projected up to 3 GW of compute capacity by the end of 2026 and an incremental 10 GW in 2027, while the goal of 20 more GW is a “non-zero possibility.” The author estimates Nvidia could earn about $40 billion in revenue per GW with Vera Rubin, or around $400 billion from 10 GW. The author's model projects fiscal 2028 revenue near $850 billion versus the $692 billion analyst consensus, and adjusted EPS of $20.72 versus $15.91. At the current forward P/E of 13.5 times, the stock would be around $415; at a market multiple of 19, around $580.
- Elon Musk Just Delivered Spectacular News for SpaceX Stock Investors
SpaceX (SPCX) shares have fallen 29% from a peak of $225 after their June listing, to $159.31 at the close on Oct. 21, with a trailing P/S of 67.5 versus 6.7 for the Nasdaq-100. Musk believes the super intelligence (SI) business could lift annualized revenue to between $500 billion and $1 trillion by the end of 2027, compared with $32 billion generated over the last four quarters. This relies partly on a 440,000-GPU Nvidia Vera Rubin cluster Musk wants online by mid-2027, and on the Grok Bot agent, which is still in beta. The article notes that if SpaceX reaches $500 billion in annualized revenue, its forward P/S could fall to 4.3 within about 15 months, while Wall Street's average forecast is $167 billion in revenue next year. Starlink had 13.6 million paying subscribers at the end of Q3, up 89% year over year.

- The US signals again to Russia: Washington unexpectedly considers lifting sanctions on Russia's major investment fund
According to TASS, the US Treasury may review a sanctions exemption request from the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) through its standard process, an anonymous US official said. This is only an initial review and does not mean Washington has decided to lift restrictions; RDIF was placed on the sanctions list on February 28, 2022. RDIF CEO Kirill Dmitriev, who is also Putin's special envoy, is taking part in contacts aimed at boosting Russia-US economic ties and finding a solution to the Ukraine conflict. Earlier, on October 9, President Trump announced a deal with President Putin to bring Russian diesel back to the US and international markets, with planned shipments of about 300,000 tonnes in October, 500,000 tonnes in November and one million tonnes after that. If sanctions are eventually eased, the article says, this could open more room for economic cooperation between the two countries.

- Vietnam's financial market in 2027 faces pressure on liquidity and credit quality
Saigon Ratings says Vietnam's financial market showed significant changes in the first nine months of 2026: GDP grew 9.01%, realised total social investment reached about VND 3,109.6 trillion (up 15.1%), and realised FDI reached USD 21.07 billion (up 12.1%). As of 28 September 2026, credit growth was 10.89%, below 13.37% a year earlier and faster than deposit mobilisation (9.78%) by about 1.11%, which could strain liquidity if loan demand rises sharply late in the year. Corporate bond issuance is recovering but diverging across issuers, with heavy maturity pressure in Q4 2026 and 2027, especially in real estate. Average CPI for nine months was 4.52% and the goods trade deficit was USD 19.42 billion, factors that could affect capital mobilisation and credit quality. Saigon Ratings outlines three development scenarios for 2027.

- Technical analysis of the afternoon session on 28/10: Prolonged sideways trading
VN-Index continued to trade sideways and formed a Dragonfly Doji candlestick pattern while moving toward its 50-day SMA, but it remains above the middle line of the Bollinger Bands. The MACD is rising after crossing above its signal line, and the Stochastic Oscillator has moved out of oversold territory, pointing to a positive short-term outlook. HNX-Index also traded sideways with a small-bodied candle and lower volume, and sits below the Bollinger Bands middle line as the gap between its 50-day and 200-day SMAs narrows. The article says a Death Cross would make the outlook less favorable. These signals are for reference only, based on realtime data up to the close of the morning session, and may change when the afternoon session ends.
- Tesla-SpaceX Merger Needs No Premium, Investor Says — But Floats $500 To Sway Angry Holders Missing Bigger Payoff
Larry Goldberg of LumaSenti says Tesla shareholders do not need a premium to benefit from a SpaceX merger, but floats $500 a share as a figure that could persuade reluctant investors, and says his priority is completing the deal. He argues that the lower the premium, the higher the value of the SpaceX stock received, and that combining assets and cash flows could help finance a computing buildout he estimates at $500 billion to $1 trillion. Brad Gerstner of Altimeter Capital suggests a $420 to $550 range, while ARK's modeling projects benefits for both shareholder groups from a no-premium swap. Tesla's quarterly filing confirms a special committee is exploring a deeper relationship with SpaceX; Musk says the committees have not agreed on terms and Tesla would need approval from 50% of all shares.
