    SpaceX Q2 Revenue Grows 92% to $7.8B; Stock Falls 12% on $18.4B Capex Burn

    Question

    SpaceX Q2 Revenue Grows 92% to $7.8B; Stock Falls 12% on $18.4B Capex Burn

    Direct answer

    SpaceX's first earnings report as a public company highlights a massive bet on AI infrastructure, with capex spending nearly double the quarterly revenue. While management expects a one-year recoupment, the $542M operating loss is weighing on sentiment. The 12% drop reflects a broader market skepticism toward 'AI-funding' machines that burn cash faster than they generate it.
