What happened
SpaceX's AI division Super Intelligence grew revenue 830% year over year to $7.56 billion, accounting for over half of the company's $14.6 billion in Q3 total revenue.
Why it matters
Over half of SpaceX's quarterly revenue now comes from AI, so its stock may rise or fall with sentiment on AI spending.
Summaries like this, every morning.
SpaceX acquired xAI shortly before going public, bringing the Grok family of large language models and the X platform into the company. That acquisition set up a shift in the business mix: by Q3, Super Intelligence accounted for over half of total revenue. CEO Elon Musk is pivoting the company toward AI in the short term, with the stated aim of building a larger business that can help fuel the space exploration side when the time is right.
The debate around the stock is less about how fast the AI business is growing and more about how much companies should spend on AI. With the market bearish on several AI firms due to heavy spending, AI-related stocks have not done well. If that trend persists to the end of 2026 and throughout 2027, SpaceX's stock could struggle; if it flips, the AI business is the main reason the stock could rally by the end of the year, according to the author.
