From S&P Global Market Intelligence projects massive growth for SpaceX

How could S&P Global Market Intelligence's projections affect BlackRock's stake in SpaceX?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

SpaceX's projected massive growth could influence BlackRock's institutional stake value. S&P Global Market Intelligence projected significant growth for SpaceX, estimating revenue could exceed $45.6 billion by year-end and adjusted EBITDA over $23 billion. If SpaceX achieves its long-term projections—such as revenue soaring to over $492.5 billion by 2030—the company's valuation could reach tens of trillions of dollars. Since BlackRock holds a significant institutional stake in SpaceX, the realization of these high growth metrics would directly increase the value of BlackRock's investment.

The facts so far

As reported. Each one links to where it comes from.

Why it matters

The potential valuation of SpaceX is immense, with projections suggesting a value of nearly $31 trillion based on forward EBITDA. This scale of growth makes SpaceX one of the most scrutinized and high-risk investments in the market, attracting major institutional players like BlackRock.

BlackRock's involvement highlights the confidence major investment firms have in the company's ambitious agenda, which includes launching data centers into space and utilizing Starship. However, the reports caution that these projections rely on many assumptions, such as the successful completion of Starship testing and the viability of space-based data centers.

What we don't know yet

  • Will SpaceX incur the projected close to $1 trillion in capital expenditures between 2026 and 2030?
  • How will the company fund its massive capital expenditures, and what impact will that have on existing shareholders?

What would change this answer

SpaceX successfully completes activities with Starship and launches data centers into spaceThis would validate the underlying assumptions of the high growth projections, making the positive effect on BlackRock's stake more certain and stronger.
SpaceX fails to meet its ambitious goals or faces significant delays in its core projectsThe market would likely become skeptical, causing the company's multiples to decline and diminishing the positive effect on BlackRock's investment.
