SpaceX reported $7.8 billion in quarterly revenue and a $541 million loss.
Why it matters: The filing gives investors a rare look at SpaceX's scale, margins and capital needs as Starlink expands. It also shows how much the company is leaning on connectivity revenue to offset the cost of rockets, satellites and infrastructure.
- SpaceX reported a $541 million quarterly loss, or 9 cents a share, for the period ended June 30, 2026.
- Revenue rose to about $7.8 billion, more than 90% from a year earlier.
- Starlink had 12 million subscribers, and connectivity revenue reached $4.29 billion, up 66%.
- SpaceX said it ended the quarter with $100 billion in cash and marketable securities.
SpaceX disclosed second-quarter 2026 results in an investor relations notice and followed with a public earnings update on Aug. 4, the company said. The filing gave a rare view into a business that is still private but increasingly central to the commercial space market.
The company said it lost $541 million for the quarter. AP reported revenue of about $7.8 billion, while Al Jazeera reported the company beat analyst expectations on both revenue and loss.
That mix matters because it shows SpaceX's growth is still capital intensive. AP reported about $18 billion in infrastructure and research and development spending, even as the company said it ended the quarter with $100 billion in cash and marketable securities.
Starlink remains the clearest growth engine. Axios reported the connectivity business generated $4.29 billion in revenue, up 66% from a year earlier, and SpaceX said Starlink had 12 million subscribers in the quarter.
For competitors, the numbers underline how SpaceX can keep scaling while funding launch, satellite and network expansion. For investors and suppliers, they show the company has both sizable demand and sizable spending requirements.
Yes, but: The results are still limited by the fact that SpaceX is private, so the disclosure is a narrow snapshot rather than a full audited public-company report.
