Q3 2026 results
Published 20 Oct 2026. SpaceX beat what analysts expected on almost every measure: sales of $14.6bn against about $13bn forecast, and profit of 35 cents a share against 10 to 17 cents. All three businesses sold more than forecast, led by AI. The one soft spot was Starlink home subscribers, a little below one forecast. Against a year ago, sales are up 161% and a $1.1bn loss has turned into a $4.4bn profit.
Against what analysts expected
| Expected | Actual | Result | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | $12.7–13.0bn | $14.6bn | Beat |
| Profit per share | $0.10–0.17 | $0.35 | Beat |
| Underlying profit | $6.6bn | $8.8bn | Beat |
| Operating profit | $2.2bn | $2.8bn | Beat |
| AI sales | $6.4–6.5bn | $7.6bn | Beat |
| Starlink sales | $4.9bn | $5.2bn | Beat |
| Space sales | $1.4–1.5bn | $1.8bn | Beat |
| Spending on factories and AI | $19.6bn | $19.6bn | In line |
| Cash left after spending | −$11.6bn | −$10.0bn | Better |
| Starlink subscribers | 14.3m | 13.6m | Miss |
Forecasts are analyst forecasts published before the results (Bloomberg, Benzinga, TipRanks, MarketBeat and other reports). They vary between providers, so a range is shown where they differ. The operating profit, cash and subscriber forecasts each come from a single report. Profit per share is as reported, not adjusted.
In brief
- Sales of $14.6bn were well ahead of the $12.7–13.0bn analysts expected, and nearly double last quarter’s $7.8bn. Profit per share was 35 cents, against forecasts of 10 to 17 cents.
- AI was the big driver. AI sales were $7.6bn against about $6.5bn expected, up from $2.6bn last quarter and $0.8bn a year ago. SpaceX puts this down to new deals renting out its AI data centres, buying Cursor (which added $608m from 14 Aug) and more use of Grok.
- Operating profit was $2.8bn, against $2.2bn expected and a $143m loss last quarter. The AI business went from a $1.3bn loss last quarter to a $431m profit, even after $1.2bn of Cursor share awards.
- Net profit was $4.4bn, against a $1.1bn loss a year ago. $1.2bn of that came from interest and other income (after paying interest on debt) and $390m from a tax credit.
- Starlink sales rose 69% to $5.2bn, ahead of the $4.9bn forecast. Home subscribers rose by 1.6m in the quarter to 13.6m, though one forecast had about 14.3m. The average monthly bill was $69, against $83 a year ago.
- Spending on factories and AI was $19.6bn, as expected and almost three times a year ago; $16.4bn of it was in the AI business. After that spending, SpaceX used about $10.0bn more cash than it brought in, less than the $11.6bn one forecast expected. It had $89.9bn in cash and investments at the end of September.
- Space sales rose 6% to $1.8bn, ahead of the $1.4–1.5bn forecast, but launches fell to 35 from 44 a year ago. Starship flew its first revenue-earning mission, carrying 26 Starlink satellites. AI computing power reached 1.7 GW, up from 0.6 GW a year ago.
Against a year ago (Q3 2025)
| Q3 2025 | Q3 2026 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | $5.58bn | $14.6bn | up +161% |
| AI sales | $813m | $7.56bn | up +830% |
| Starlink sales | $3.10bn | $5.25bn | up +69% |
| Space sales | $1.67bn | $1.77bn | up +6.1% |
| Margin on sales | 51.5% | 62.4% | +10.9 pts |
| Running costs | $3.14bn | $6.31bn | up +101% |
| Underlying profit | $2.17bn | $8.81bn | up +306% |
| Spending on factories and AI | $6.88bn | $19.6bn | up +185% |
| Starlink subscribers | 7.20m | 13.60m | up +89% |
| Launches | 44 | 35 | down −20% |
Red and green show whether a change is good or bad for SpaceX, so more spending shows in red.

Spending on factories and AI
Starlink subscribers
Margin on sales is gross margin: what is left of each sale after the cost of providing it. Underlying profit is SpaceX’s adjusted EBITDA: profit before interest, tax, depreciation, share awards and one-off costs. Starlink subscribers are home and small-business users, not large company and government customers. Running costs are research, selling and admin costs. Cash left after spending is cash from the business minus spending on factories and AI; SpaceX does not publish it, so it is worked out from its cash flow figures. Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 come from SpaceX’s June 2026 share sale document. SpaceX now calls its AI business ‘Super Intelligence’. SpaceX Q3 2026 results release, 20 Oct 2026

Computer power, built and planned
Built SpaceX’s targets
Gigawatts (GW) of power the installed AI chips can draw. 1 GW is about the output of a large power station. SpaceX Q2 2026 results, 4 Aug 2026, SpaceX share sale document, 12 Jun 2026, SpaceX results call, 4 Aug 2026 (transcript)
Who earns the most, April to June 2026
| Business | Sales | Profit | Spent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starlink | $4.29bn | $1.66bn | $1.37bn |
| AI: data centres, Grok and X | $2.56bn | Loss $1.26bn | $15.8bn |
| Rockets | $962m | Loss $542m | $1.17bn |
Starlink still sold and earned the most in April to June. The AI side made a loss once the cost of its chips and buildings wearing out is counted, and it took most of the spending. Spent is money put into new equipment and buildings. Profit is before interest and tax. SpaceX Q2 2026 results, 4 Aug 2026
SpaceX’s July to September results, due by mid-November, are the first test of Musk’s claim that AI sales overtake everything else from September.
Who rents the computers
| Customer | What they rent | Pays | Runs | Can it be ended early? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AnthropicSpaceX share sale document, 12 Jun 2026 | About 325,000 Nvidia chips at Colossus and Colossus II | $1.25bn a month | May 2026 to May 2029 | Either side, on 90 days’ notice |
| GoogleSpaceX filing, 5 Jun 2026 | About 110,000 Nvidia chips | $920m a month | Oct 2026 to Jun 2029 (lower fee while it starts up) | Either side, on 90 days’ notice after 31 Dec 2026 |
| Not namedSpaceX results call, 4 Aug 2026 (transcript) | Computer time | $6.7bn over six months (about $1.1bn a month) | From Oct 2026 | Not given |
Together about $3.3bn a month once all three are running, or about $39bn a year.

Colossus Running
Memphis, Tennessee
Built in 122 days in 2024 inside an old factory. Musk says it holds about 230,000 Nvidia chips.

Colossus II Running and growing
Memphis, with its gas power plant over the state line in Southaven, Mississippi
The first 110,000 chips were switched on in 91 days, the next 110,000 in 64. Musk says it had 550,000 chips by late September, with 220,000 more due in October, 220,000 in November and maybe another 220,000 by late December. A lawsuit says some of its gas turbines ran without the right permits.

Starmind Planned
In orbit
AI computers on satellites, powered by the sun, launched on Starship. Musk says each satellite will have over 250 kW of solar power.
Musk on X, 1 Oct 2026, SpaceX share sale document, 12 Jun 2026
What could it earn? Do the sum
Gigawatts switched on × money each gigawatt brings in a year. Musk puts it at $30bn to $50bn a year for each gigawatt. The deals back that up: Google pays about $11bn a year for chips that need roughly 0.22 GW (about $50bn per GW); Anthropic pays $15bn a year for older chips that need roughly 0.5 GW (about $30bn per GW, our estimate from the chip count).
AI and data centres
$80bn a year
Plus Starlink and rockets$21bn
Whole company, yearly rate$101bn
That is, each month$8.4bn
Starlink and rockets, at the April to June 2026 rate. A yearly rate is one month’s sales × 12, not what is earned over a calendar year.
The sum at SpaceX’s own milestones
| When | Power | × $30–50bn per GW | What SpaceX and Musk say |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 2026 (built) | 1.4 GW | $42–70bn a year | AI sales actually ran at about $10bn a year in April to June: renting only started in May. SpaceX Q2 2026 results, 4 Aug 2026 |
| December 2026 (target) | 2 GW | $60–100bn a year | SpaceX expects the whole company to be selling at a $100bn yearly rate in December. Musk: “not a question mark”. SpaceX results call, 4 Aug 2026 (transcript) |
| End of 2027 (target) | 10 GW | $300–500bn a year | Musk: 10 GW online “will be $300 to $500 billion a year in revenue”. That is the rate at the end of 2027, so it would show in 2028. Musk to SpaceX staff, 11 Aug 2026 (Space.com) |
These are targets and rough sums, not forecasts or advice. Sales are not profit: SpaceX spent $15.8bn on AI equipment in April to June alone, and is reported to be borrowing $40bn more for Nvidia chips. The rental customers can leave on 90 days’ notice.
