Bullishness on Spacex's Space Business Implies Antitrust Risk

Dow Jones01:55

1355 ET - MoffettNathanson analysts, among the most cautious of those initiating coverage of SpaceX, are nevertheless bullish about the company's space business remaining dominant in the market and driving the flywheel for other segments. But it is precisely that bullishness, they write, that lead them to an underappreciated concern: regulatory, antitrust, and political risk. "Eventually, a monopoly, or even near-monopoly, in rocket manufacturing and launch, especially one that fosters additional monopolies or near-monopolies in upstream, downstream, or horizontally adjacent businesses, will be deemed regulatorily unacceptable, and some or all of the optionality that stems from SpaceX's vertical integration strategy could be regulated away," they write.
