SpaceX (SPCX.US) shares fell more than 3% on Monday, hitting a new all-time low of $109.53. The stock was last trading at $111.15.
Morgan Stanley noted in a fresh report that while SpaceX's 13th Starship test flight failed to achieve a perfect booster recovery, the mission still significantly boosted market confidence. The firm highlighted that the flight successfully deployed the next-generation Starlink V3 satellites, completed an in-orbit engine restart, and achieved the smoothest ocean splashdown to date, marking a key step toward full Starship system reusability.
Morgan Stanley believes that if the 14th Starship test flight can achieve direct capture of the upper stage by the launch tower, it would serve as the next critical catalyst for driving SpaceX's valuation higher. Based on ongoing Starship technology validation and its long-term potential in areas such as AI infrastructure and global satellite connectivity, the firm maintains an "Overweight" rating on SpaceX stock and reiterates a $300 price target.
The report also notes that Starship's rapid iteration and low-cost launch capabilities are the core foundation for building SpaceX's "space + AI" composite ecosystem. With the accelerated deployment of Starlink V3 satellites and progress in orbital computing infrastructure, SpaceX is expected to further solidify its dual leadership position in commercial aerospace and artificial intelligence infrastructure.
