  • SpaceX Stock Could Surpass Amazon and Microsoft with Market Cap Rally
    June 15, 2026, 10:40 PM EDT. SpaceX's market capitalization has surged past $2.5 trillion, nearing tech giants Amazon's $2.6 trillion and Microsoft's $3 trillion. Despite incurring billions in losses and growing revenues by just 15% last quarter, SpaceX's stock jumped nearly 20% on its market debut, reflecting high investor enthusiasm. To surpass Amazon, SpaceX's stock price would need to hit approximately $203, and $230 to exceed Microsoft, assuming no significant change in those companies' valuations. However, SpaceX trades at over 100 times revenue and faces risks from hefty investments in space exploration and artificial intelligence, with profitability years away. Analysts warn the stock is highly speculative with substantial downside risk. Investing now offers no margin of safety amid uncertain growth prospects.
