China Renaissance has initiated coverage of SpaceX with a 'Buy' rating and a price target of $194.20.
SpaceX stock (SPCX) fell 7.5% following Democratic victories in midterm elections, as investors worry new regulations on data centers and AI could threaten a significant portion of the company's business. However, the analyst suggests that stricter Earth-based data center regulations could actually benefit SpaceX's space-based data center solution.
Ten U.S. tech giants erased about $1.74 trillion in market value Thursday as Nvidia, Micron and AMD led a post-midterm sell-off in AI and chip stocks.
SpaceX selected Qualcomm to supply base-station chips and software for Starlink Mobile's nationwide 5G network, with tens of thousands of cell sites planned to launch in 2027. Despite this progress toward becoming a U.S. wireless carrier, analyst Daniel Sparks maintains a hold rating on SpaceX stock, noting that while the deal makes the carrier plan more concrete, it likely adds little revenue impact before 2028 and the current valuation already assumes years of fast growth.
SpaceX's AI compute business has become its largest revenue driver, growing to over 50% of sales. However, the company faces significant concentration risk with one customer (Anthropic) accounting for 34.5% of total revenue.

As the compute supply shortage eases and competitors develop alternative solutions, SpaceX risks losing this major customer, potentially eliminating over a third of its current revenue.
