SpaceX (SPCX) shares have climbed nearly 30% in August amid heightened launch cadence and Starlink expansion, closing near $142–143 as of August 31 with a market capitalization of roughly $1.9 trillion. Recent Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy missions, including the successful August 30 deployment of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, alongside ongoing Starship development and a planned $100 billion Louisiana facility, have supported sentiment. Traders are weighing robust revenue growth from Starlink against elevated valuation multiples exceeding 60 times sales, heavy capital expenditures, and ongoing losses tied to R&D and new initiatives. The month-end close will reflect these near-term operational milestones and broader risk appetite in the aerospace sector.
