SpaceX Exceeds Q3 Earnings Expectations and Hints at Potential Tesla Merger

Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) reported third-quarter results that significantly outperformed Wall Street estimates. The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.45 on revenue of $14.58 billion, far exceeding analyst projections of $0.13 EPS and $12.72 billion in sales. Growth was driven largely by a massive 830% year-over-year surge in the superintelligence segment and a 69% increase in Starlink-focused connectivity revenue. Beyond the financial results, CEO Elon Musk sparked significant market interest by suggesting a potential merger between SpaceX and Tesla (TSLA). Musk confirmed that special committees have been formed to explore the possibility, though he noted his inability to participate directly due to conflicts of interest. The company also provided long-term guidance, projecting Q1 2027 sales between $33 billion and $37 billion.
