SpaceX S-1 / Interactive Filing Analysis

The largest TAM
ever printed in an S-1.

SpaceX's filing puts $28.5 trillion of opportunity on the table: across launch, connectivity, AI, and a long tail of "futures." This is an interactive walk through the disclosed numbers: segment economics, what's claimed, what's missing, and the capture rate the market is already pricing in.

Business View

Revenue, EBITDA, capex, and R&D, broken out by segment, 2023 to Q1 2026.

Segment Revenue

2025 segment snapshot

What stands out

Connectivity revenue tripled (3.9B → 11.4B) while Connectivity EBITDA quadrupled. AI revenue is flat at ~$3B but burned through $1.24B of EBITDA loss in 2025. Space segment EBITDA went negative in Q1 '26. Starship investment is showing up in the P&L.

Launch / Space

Legacy/core SpaceX: Falcon, Falcon Heavy, Starship, Dragon, government launch contracts, commercial payloads.

What2025 revenue $4.09B · EBITDA $653M
WhyCurrent economics distorted by Starship investment; separate mature launch from future infra spend.

Connectivity

Starlink across mobile and broadband.

What2025 revenue $11.39B · EBITDA $7.17B
WhyLargest current profit contributor; lowest capital intensity.

AI

xAI/X, Grok, broader compute infrastructure.

What2025 revenue $3.20B · EBITDA -$1.24B
WhyLoss-making today; framed around hyperscale AI infra and orbital compute optionality.

Starship / Futures

Long-duration infrastructure optionality: orbital compute, lunar infra, Mars settlement.

WhatNo standalone monetized financials in the filing.
WhyOption-value bucket; not directly modelable from disclosed figures.

TAM Capture Math

SpaceX captures 0.07% of its claimed TAM today. Drag the slider. At any valuation anchor, the implied capture rate is the question every IPO buyer needs to answer.

$3.20B / $26.5T TAM
The frame

Even at $1.75T, the implied capture is 6.1% of a TAM number that's 80% aspirational AI software. Strip that out. TAM falls to $5.8T, current capture rises to 0.32%, and the $1.75T anchor implies ~30% capture of a more honest opportunity set. Where you stand on the AI TAM is where you stand on the valuation.
