Most Investors Are Overpaying for SpaceX Stock. Here's the Price I'd Actually Buy At.

While SpaceX has transformational potential through Starlink and orbital compute services, analyst Adam Levy argues the stock is overvalued at current prices. He contends the market is pricing in Elon Musk's $1 trillion 2030 revenue projection as certainty rather than possibility. Levy identifies significant risks including massive capital requirements ($672 billion through 2034), regulatory challenges, and unproven technology. He values the stock at $78 per share based on a more conservative $300 billion revenue projection for 2030, compared to the current price of ~$159.

Tesla Is on Pace for Its First Annual Delivery Increase Since 2023. Is the Stock a Buy?

Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles in Q3 2026, putting it on pace for its first annual delivery increase since 2023 with ~1.79 million vehicles expected for the year. However, despite the delivery recovery, the stock trades at 165x forward earnings, which the analyst argues is too expensive for a car business merely returning to 2024 levels without corresponding profit growth. The valuation appears to price in Tesla's autonomous driving ambitions rather than near-term delivery growth.
