AI BriefingWhy SpaceX's IPO Looks Overvalued
Key point
Morningstar analyzed that SpaceX's enterprise value will vary significantly depending on whether the commercialization of orbital AI data centers succeeds.
Details
According to Morningstar's analysis, SpaceX's fair value is $63 per share, a 53% discount to the planned IPO offering price. The key to this valuation lies in the success of Starship's reusability and whether orbital AI data centers can be commercialized.
The analysis derived a probability-weighted average based on three scenarios.
- Moonshot (7% probability): A scenario where Starship achieves rapid reusability and orbital AI platforms secure an operating cost advantage over ground-based computing, valued at $154 per share.
- MVP (50% probability): A scenario where orbital data centers are realized under certain capacity constraints, adding approximately $11.75 per share in value.
- No Go (43% probability): A scenario where orbital data centers do not work or offer no economic advantage.
For SpaceX's value to reach the offering price of $135, the analysis suggests that investors would need enough conviction to pay an option premium of $72 per share for future projects (such as orbital AI infrastructure).
