SpaceX Stock Rises Amid Data Center Overhaul and UK Defense Deal
SpaceX (SPCX) stock rose on Thursday as investors reacted to news about the company's data center strategy shift. According to a report from The Information, SpaceX is overhauling its approach by prioritizing reliability over speed in new data centers, which may slow construction but improve stability after recent outages affected major AI models and customers like Anthropic and Google. Meanwhile, the UK has deepened its partnership with SpaceX through nearly $40 million in satellite services. The Defense Ministry purchased both Starshield (military-grade) and standard Starlink terminals, making it the first country outside the US to publicly acknowledge using Starshield. This development is boosting confidence in SpaceX's defense segment. The stock also absorbed a new supply of shares as 319 million insider shares became eligible for sale following the company’s June IPO at $135 per share.
