SpaceX went public with an IPO valuation of $2.1 trillion, trading at 112 times sales despite $4.9 billion in net losses and negative free cash flow. The high valuation is driven by aggressive projections from underwriters, but independent analysts estimate its true value to be 30–65% lower. Among its three business segments, only Starlink is profitable, though its average revenue per user is declining amid growing competition from Amazon and others. To justify its current price, SpaceX must achieve unprecedented growth across all segments, a scenario considered highly risky and potentially a severe value trap for investors.
