SpaceX (SPCX) Q2 2026 Earnings Preview: Key Numbers to Watch Ahead of Massive Lockup Expiration
Dear Investor, Welcome to Deep Research Global.
Executive TL;DR
SpaceX (SPCX) reports its first-ever quarterly results as a public company on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, after the closing bell.
Wall Street expects Q2 revenue of roughly $6.81 to $6.9 billion, an adjusted loss of about $0.24 per share, and adjusted EBITDA near $2.0 billion, with the Starlink-anchored Connectivity segment carrying virtually all of the profit.
Two days later, on August 6, the first major lockup expiration frees close to one billion insider shares, more than doubling the tradable float, with further unlocks scheduled after Q3 and Q4 earnings.
The stock enters the print near $110 per share, about 18% below its $135 IPO price and roughly 50% below its post-IPO peak, while analyst price targets range from $62 all the way to $900.

Introduction
Seven weeks ago, SpaceX completed the largest IPO in history, raising about $75 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation. On Tuesday evening, the company faces its first real test as a public entity, and the stakes are unusually high.
Roughly 48 hours after the results land, the first major lockup expiration will free close to one billion insider shares for sale, more than doubling the stock’s tradable float in a single session.
Shares have already fallen from a post-IPO peak of $225.64 to the $114 area (as of now), a decline that reflects both anxiety about the unlock and growing skepticism about whether a company with a $4.7 billion quarter can justify a $1.4 trillion market capitalization.
What management says on Tuesday about Starlink’s growth rate, Starship’s readiness, AI compute spending, and full-year guidance will determine whether the stock finds a floor or keeps sliding into the unlock.
This analysis walks through every number that matters.
