What the analyst said

RBC Capital analyst Ken Herbert reiterated an Outperform rating and $225 price target on SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX).

“Acceleration, spectrum purchase, data center sentiment the focus, maintain OP and $225 PT; We are previewing SpaceX (SPCX) ahead of its 3Q26 earnings release on Tuesday, Oct 20.

We believe SPCX surprised investors with announcing earnings as early as next week, with most anticipating the report sometime in Nov.

We anticipate positive commentary from SPCX management with a continued sense of urgency and further pull forward out-year goalposts.

We view the recent spectrum purchase as a positive, and Starship momentum on pace to continue.

Moreover, investor interest around a potential merger with TSLA is increasing.

Maintaining OP rating and $225 PT.”
