Wolfe Research gives SpaceX an "Outperform" rating, with a target price of $175

BlockBeats News, June 13th, according to CNBC, Wolfe Research initiated coverage on SpaceX in a report on Friday, giving it an "Outperform" rating with a target price of $175. This target price represents nearly a 30% upside from SpaceX's IPO price of $135. Wolfe Research stated that despite SpaceX's $1.77 trillion valuation, which has puzzled many on Wall Street, its leading position in the launch business supported this massive valuation. The firm noted that the launch business is SpaceX's core and provides an "attractive unit economics" for other ventures.

A 2025 report from Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technology revealed that SpaceX accounts for five out of every six U.S. space launches. Wolfe Research believes that the rocket's reusability gives SpaceX a cost advantage and helps maintain its dominance. Walton stated that the successful reusability of Starship is the "most critical value unlock." He also mentioned that while they do not expect SpaceX to surpass Anthropic or OpenAI on the modeling side, they anticipate SpaceX to establish a cost advantage in the final computational competition through vertical integration and space access capabilities.
