Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) saw its shares surge over 11% in premarket trading, pushing its market capitalization close to $3 trillion, surpassing Amazon to become the fifth-largest company globally. This rapid valuation increase has led some analysts, like Futurum Equities’ Shay Boloor, to extend optimistic forecasts to 2028 based on expected EBITDA growth. However, critics including short-seller Jim Chanos and commentator Patrick Boyle warn that the valuation is detached from realistic market fundamentals, citing Musk's $28.5 trillion total addressable market as 'absurd' and cautioning retail investors about risks tied to broker lockups and market dynamics. The debate highlights tensions between bullish long-term growth expectations and concerns over current price sustainability.
