Analyst Call Lands With a Thud Amid Starship Test
HSBC has initiated coverage of SpaceX with a Hold rating and a $115 price target, citing fair value and unproven bets on Starship and orbital data centers. The analyst call comes as the stock is mired in its deepest pullback since going public, with shares falling 48% from highs. The Starship test has shown mixed results, and Alphabet’s stake in SpaceX is valued at $94 billion. The upcoming earnings report and lock-up expirations may be a turning point for the stock, according to a report by Unknown Source.
