Evercore ISI Lifts SpaceX Target to $275 as Q3 Results Near

3 articles · Updated · CNBC · Oct 16

Summary

  • $275 is Evercore ISI's new SpaceX price target, up from $230 and implying 85% upside from Thursday's close ahead of early-November third-quarter results.
  • Evercore said the earnings report could clarify key debates around the business, with the firm expecting investors to focus less on the quarter itself than on medium-term estimates and sentiment into 2027.
  • LSEG consensus calls for 14 cents a share in earnings on $12.738 billion in revenue, while Evercore said it is already above Wall Street on revenue and EBITDA.
  • 2027 catalysts underpin the bullish view, including Starship satellite deployments, proof of reusability within the next few flights and Musk's 4Q27 target for first Starmind AI satellites.
  • The call broadly matches Street sentiment: 33 of 42 analysts rate SpaceX buy or strong buy, and the shares have gained about 13% over the past three months.
