3 articles · Updated · CNBC · Aug 4

Summary

  • SpaceX shares fell in after-hours trading after the company reported $7.81 billion in revenue and a 9-cent-per-share loss in its latest earnings release.
  • Revenue nearly doubled from a year earlier and topped expectations, but the stock reversed a 9% pre-earnings gain, extending volatility after its recent IPO.
  • Elon Musk told investors Starlink could deliver a majority of the world's internet within 10 years in most countries where it can operate.
  • SpaceX also said it plans to build its AI data centers using Nvidia chips only, underscoring the AI spending focus that has already worried some investors.
  • The move follows a sharp retreat from SpaceX's post-IPO peak, with the stock still down about 44% from its high despite broader U.S. indexes hitting records.
