VinSpace’s new launch contract with Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX) puts fresh attention on how investors should think about the company’s Space segment, alongside its Connectivity and AI businesses.

Space Exploration Technologies’ recent VinSpace launch deal lands as the stock trades at $136.97, with a 1 month share price return of 18.84% but a year to date share price return that is down 14.90%. This suggests momentum has picked up in the short term after earlier weakness linked to post IPO volatility, lockup expirations, heavy AI and space capital spending and mixed reactions to its first earnings report.

Most Popular Narrative: 29,676.1% Overvalued

The most followed valuation narrative for Space Exploration Technologies puts fair value at $0.46 per share, far below the recent $136.97 close. Many investors are treating this as a high bar to clear.

SpaceX is one of the most important engineering companies in the world, but from a valuation standpoint, it still behaves like a capital intensive industrial business with modest margins and high execution risk. With a 30% discount rate to reflect the lack of current profitability, the fair value estimate lands at US$0.87 per share in 2026.

Want to see what is driving that wide gap between price and fair value? The narrative leans heavily on projected revenue growth, modest margins and a valuation multiple more typical of mature telecom or defense groups. The full breakdown shows how those ingredients combine into the final per share estimate.

Result: Fair Value of $0.46 (OVERVALUED)

However, Space Exploration Technologies could quickly challenge this overvaluation narrative if the AI segment gains traction more quickly than expected or if Connectivity margins improve meaningfully.
