SpaceX (SPCX) shareholders have had a positive week, with Starship Flight 14 recently reaching orbit and deploying 26 Starlink V3 satellites, moving SpaceX closer to launching satellites in large numbers and ultimately toward full reusability. TD Cowen initiated coverage of SPCX stock shortly after the flight, assigning a “Buy” rating and a $200 price target.
The reaction from the market was rather moderate, as SpaceX gained almost 3% on Sept. 29 and closed at $149.24 per share. This may be due to the ongoing debate regarding the newly public company. While the operational performance and revenue growth of SpaceX is impressive, the stock already commands a significant premium in terms of valuation.
