While I Like SpaceX, Here's Why I'm Not Buying Its Stock Yet
SpaceX is a compelling company with very real strengths, but that doesn't necessarily mean the stock is a great buy right now.
Overview
Space Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX) is undeniably a category leader. The company's rocket-launching services dominate the market, and its satellite internet and mobile services are also clear-cut frontrunners in markets with significant long-term growth potential. In addition to those very promising positions, the company is also a compelling player in the artificial intelligence (AI) processing market and is ramping up investments to become a top competitor in the category.
And yet, I'm not ready to buy the stock. Here's why.
Details
SpaceX provides bleeding-edge technologies across multiple categories. The company revolutionized rocketry by developing launch-and-land rockets that can be reused for subsequent missions. Thanks to these capabilities, the company has been able to provide launch services to third-party customers at very cost-effective price points. The company accounted for roughly 51% of total global orbital launches last year and 85% of total satellite launches.
