SpaceX rises 9% premarket after earnings beat; Musk floats Tesla merger
SpaceX rose more than 9% in premarket trading on Wednesday after reporting its third-quarter 2026 results. Revenue reached $14.6 billion, up 161% from a year earlier and above the $12.72 billion estimated by LSEG. Operating income was $2.8 billion and net income $4.4 billion, compared with a net loss of $1.05 billion in the same period of the previous year. The Super Intelligence (SI) segment, the company's AI business, generated $7.56 billion, ninefold the $813 million of a year earlier.…
- Q3 2026 revenue: $14.6B, up 161% year over year, versus $12.72B expected.
- Musk is weighing a SpaceX-Tesla merger; both boards formed committees to study it.
🔎 Why it matters: According to the article, a combination with Tesla would be the largest merger in history, and both boards already have committees to analyze it. The SI segment also grew revenue from $813 million to $7.56 billion.
📈 Upside: The Super Intelligence segment rose from $813 million to $7.56 billion year over year, ninefold.
📉 Risk: A Tesla merger depends on committees from both boards that have not yet produced results, and Musk has only said he is considering it.
