Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

Starlink, the satellite internet service, generated $4.3 billion in revenue during the second quarter of 2026, which accounted for the majority of SpaceX's $7.8 billion in total sales for that period. SpaceX, which has 12 million subscribers for Starlink, completed its IPO on Nasdaq in June 2026. The company's second-quarter earnings also showed that its AI segment generated $2.6 billion.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Starlink is identified as the core revenue driver for SpaceX, supporting the company's valuation as it operates on Nasdaq. While the space business generated $962 million in Q2 2026, the connectivity business provided the bulk of the company's sales. SpaceX also joined the Nasdaq-100 index in July 2026.

Some analysts suggest SpaceX may have lost the AI race, while the medium-term potential of Starlink is viewed as limited amid space sector IPO hype.
