What Is the SpaceX Share Price Today?

Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SPCX) closed at $149.24 on September 29, per Yahoo Finance. Overnight trading was near $149.30, up 0.04%.

Volume ran about 14% below average. A rise on lighter volume means less push from buyers.

Why Is SPCX Stock Up Today?

Analysts turned bullish after the Starship flight. TD Cowen began coverage with a Buy rating and a $200 target. UBS kept a Buy with a $210 target.

UBS expects third-quarter revenue of $13.8 billion, 7% above consensus. It sees adjusted EBITDA of $7.5 billion against $6.9 billion expected.

What Is the Latest SpaceX Stock News?

Investors now see SpaceX as an AI compute and data center firm, not only a launch company. TD Cowen calls AI compute leasing a possible main revenue driver.

Reports tied to Anthropic's IPO prospectus hint at large future compute deals with SpaceX. Nothing is confirmed, so treat it as a headline to watch.

Last quarter, revenue hit $7.81 billion, up 91.9% from last year. The adjusted loss of $0.09 per share beat estimates.

What Happened in the SpaceX Starship Launch?

Starship reached orbit for the first time and deployed 26 next-generation Starlink satellites.

But an engine shut down early, the mission was cut short, and the vehicle was destroyed during splashdown. Fast reuse is not routine yet.

What Is Starlink V3 and Why Does It Matter?

Elon Musk calls Starlink V3 satellites "enormous," with the wingspan of a 737. He expects Starship to fly weekly or twice weekly next year.

Starlink's next step depends on how fast SpaceX can catch, turn, and refly Starship.

Price sits above the moving averages at $149.16, $146.92, and $145.77. It rose from $132 to $134 with higher lows, then slipped below the lower edge of its rising channel in late September.

RSI is 50.87, with the signal line at 50.76. That is neutral.

What Are the Support and Resistance Levels for SPCX Stock?

Will SPCX Stock Go Up or Down?

Bullish case. A 4-hour close above $152, while holding $146 to $147, could open at $155 to $158, then $165.24.

Bearish case. A drop below $145 weakens the structure. Next stops are $140 to $143, then $133.34.

For now, the range is about $146 to $152. Nobody knows which side breaks first.

What Is the SPCX Analyst Price Target?

MarketBeat counts 2 Strong Buy, 28 Buy, 7 Hold, and 7 Sell ratings. The average target is $218.68. Yahoo shows a 1-year estimate of $223.82.

Needham has a $250 Buy target. HSBC has a $115 Hold. Citigroup cut the stock to Sell on August 7.

Is SpaceX Stock a Good Buy Right Now?

There is no simple answer. The company grows fast but still loses money, and its market cap is near $1.97 trillion.

The stock is about 34% below its 52-week high and 42% above its low.

Risks include Starship reuse and insider sales, like the reported $52 million sale by President Gwynne Shotwell.
