Bank of America maintains a target price of $235 for SpaceX, which is approximately 87.5% higher than the reference price after the earnings report

Bank of America reiterated its "Buy" rating on SpaceX after the earnings report, maintaining a target price of $235, which is approximately 87.5% higher than the reference price of $125.33 after the earnings report. Bank of America believes that its bullish logic is no longer primarily based on the rocket launch business, but rather on the AI infrastructure business.

Bank of America expects SpaceX's AI business revenue to approach $24.5 billion by 2026, accounting for more than half of the company's total revenue forecast. Meanwhile, the collaboration with Anthropic has been contributing revenue since May of this year, and the computing power collaboration with Google is expected to start in October this year. As a result, Bank of America has raised its performance forecasts for the next few years: the revenue forecast for 2026 has been raised by about 15% to $46.9 billion; the revenue forecast for 2027 has been raised by about 29% to $100.7 billion; the revenue forecast for 2028 has been raised by about 29% to $184.8 billion.

However, Bank of America also expects that as capital expenditures continue to expand, SpaceX will still maintain large negative free cash flow in the coming years. It estimates: free cash flow of -$43.6 billion in 2026; -$45.4 billion in 2027; and -$37.4 billion in 2028.
