The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

I give them the benefit of the doubt that they can do it most likely.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

but it's not baked in as a certainty to my scenarios.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

And then the second piece is whether data centers in space will be cost effective.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

Again, I'm assuming they're doable engineering wise, but that's how we get to the $63 is we're probability weighting this outcome against other scenarios where the data centers may not be cost compelling or where Starship is less reusable, less frequently.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

So I hope that helps kind of put it in context.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

Yeah.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

And the real problem, you could say, you know, that lowers these percentages is that two things have to happen.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

Starship has to be reusable and data centers in space need to be compelling.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

So the kind of combined probability, the way we looked at it, was only 7% for that best case scenario.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

And if we learn something tomorrow, which I don't think we will quite so soon, but if we learn more about either of those, I can change the percentages and that would move my valuation.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

But in reality, kind of just being honest,

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

it's still, even at 154, that's still meaningfully below the market price.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

So I think you have people also pricing in kind of other moonshot, Mars shot, long range projects as added value to the company that, again, might work out, but aren't a solid 100% probability in my book.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

I mean, did we talk about that?

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

Yes.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

But no, there isn't like a line item in my model that says, cool, therefore, you know, or whatever.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

We don't really use multiples to value stocks, and that is one of the disconnects.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

Our valuation is meant to measure what the present value of the free cash flow to the firm is.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

full stop.

The Rundown
What’s SpaceX Really Worth? This Analyst Says $63 a Share

And I do my best to model, in this case, a range of scenarios and weigh them into what I would call the most likely outcome or the set of most likely outcomes.
