Watch list

What moves the thesis, sorted by direction.

Tailwind

Starlink

Subscribers doubled to 12M with ARPU steady at about $66 a month. Connectivity earns $1.66B a quarter and funds the rest of the company.

Tailwind

Compute leasing

AI revenue jumped 247% on compute deals with Anthropic and Google, with another $6.7B of cloud revenue under contract over six months from October. Management targets a $100B annualized revenue run rate by December.

Watch

Capex

Capex was $18.4B in Q2, 2.4× revenue, and the CFO expects similar spending for two more quarters. He says AI compute pays back in under a year; the AI segment still lost $1.26B.

Watch

Governance

Musk owns about 42% of the shares but controls about 82% of the votes through super-voting stock. SpaceX is not in the S&P 500.

Risk

Launch still loses money

Space revenue of $962M came with a $542M operating loss. Starship progress drives both costs and the long-term story.

Risk

Valuation and volatility

About $2.1T of market value on roughly $23B of trailing revenue. The stock has traded between about $105 and $226 since June, so position sizing matters.
