Nvidia Now Sees SpaceX As 5% Of Its Revenue
SPCX closed at $140.87 on August 27, 2026, up 0.89% from the prior session's $139.63 close, on volume of 50,487,232 shares.
Executive Summary
SPCX traded in a $138.60-$142.06 range on August 27 and finished the session higher for a second straight day, closing at $140.8738 versus Thursday's $139.63. The stock remains well above its $135.00 IPO offer price but well below its June 12 IPO-day close of $160.95 and its June 16 peak close of $201.80, reflecting the sharp post-IPO drawdown and subsequent stabilization that has defined SPCX's first several months as a public company. News flow on the day was mixed and largely indirect: a Motley Fool piece framed SpaceX as the "wiser" long-term pick against Archer Aviation despite both companies posting losses, while a separate Motley Fool article noted SPCX trading near $140 against a Wall Street average price target above $232, with estimates ranging from $75 to $450 — a spread the article itself calls out as wide. Other headlines covered Elon Musk's and other tech executives' scheduled appearances at a G20 tech meeting, a Reuters report on cybercriminals reportedly misusing a SpaceX-linked AI coding tool, and commentary tying SpaceX to a rising share of Nvidia's revenue via Gene Munster. None of these items included company-confirmed financial figures beyond what is cited above.

1. Archer Aviation vs. Space Exploration Technologies: Which High Flying Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
Archer Aviation and SpaceX represent two different aerospace plays with vastly different maturity levels. Archer is pre-commercial with $300K revenue and $618M losses, pursuing FAA certification for eVTOL aircraft. SpaceX generates $18.7B in revenue but reported a $5B net loss in FY2025 due to massive capital requirements. The article concludes SpaceX is the wiser long-term choice despite both companies' negative cash flows, citing SpaceX's established Starlink business and market support versus Archer's high valuation multiples and regulatory uncertainties.

Price Action
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Open | $139.95 |
| High | $142.06 |
| Low | $138.60 |
| Close | $140.8738 |
| Change vs prior close | +0.89% ($139.63 to $140.8738) |
| Volume | 50,487,232 |
| Intraday range | $138.60 - $142.06 ($3.46) |
| Close vs IPO offer price ($135.00) | +4.35% |
SPCX opened at $139.95, just above the prior close, dipped to a session low of $138.60, then pushed to a high of $142.06 before settling at $140.8738, a 0.89% gain on the day. Volume of 50,487,232 shares came in below both the prior session's 61,443,942 shares (down roughly 17.8% day over day) and the stock's average volume to date of 117,242,148 shares — about 43% of that average, per the Volume vs avg indicator (0.43). The close sits 4.35% above the $135.00 IPO offer price but remains well below the $160.95 first-day close. Price advanced on lighter-than-average volume, a modest gain that did not come with a corresponding pickup in participation.
Technicals
SPCX has traded for roughly 53 sessions since its June 12, 2026 IPO. That is enough history for short- and medium-window indicators like RSI-14 and the 50-day SMA to compute, but the 200-day SMA remains unavailable (not enough bars), and all of these readings still rest on a short, highly volatile sample — they should be weighted cautiously rather than treated as a mature technical picture.
Trend
Since IPO, SPCX ran from its $160.95 first-day close up to a peak close of $201.80 on June 16, then fell steadily through July to a low close of $108.27 on August 5. From that low the stock has recovered over the past several weeks, closing at $140.8738 today. The close sits above the SMA-5 (138.08), SMA-10 (139.36), SMA-20 (132.88), and SMA-50 (138.57), consistent with a near-term recovery within a broader post-IPO decline-and-stabilize pattern. SMA-200 is not yet computable given the stock's limited trading history.
Candle read
Today's candle has a range of $3.46 (high $142.06 to low $138.60), with a real body of $0.92 (close above open), an upper wick of $1.19, and a lower wick of $1.35. The close location of 0.66 means the close sits roughly two-thirds of the way up the day's range, closer to the high than the low. The larger lower wick relative to the upper wick, combined with a close in the upper portion of the range, indicates the stock dipped toward $138.60 intraday before buyers stepped back in, though the real body is modest relative to the full range.
Support levels
- $139.63 — prior session close, close to the SMA-10 (139.36)
- $138.60 — today's session low
- $138.08 / $138.57 — SMA-5 and SMA-50, clustered just below the session low
- $135.00 — IPO offer price, also matching the August 24 close
Resistance levels
- $141.29 — August 13 close
- $142.06 — today's session high
- $143.34 — August 18 close
- $146.15 / $146.23 — August 12 and August 17 closes, the nearest closes above the current price on the recovery leg
Momentum interpretation
RSI-14 reads 54.35, in neutral territory, neither overbought nor oversold.
Bull scenario: a close above today's $142.06 high, followed by a move through the $143.34-$146.23 zone of prior closes, would suggest the recovery from the August 5 low ($108.27) is extending.
Bear scenario: a break below the cluster of support around $138.08-$139.63 (SMA-5, SMA-50, and the prior close) that also takes out today's $138.60 low would put the $135.00 IPO offer price back in focus.
Neutral scenario: continued trade between roughly $138.60 and $142.06 would keep SPCX inside its recent consolidation range, with RSI-14 near 54 offering no strong directional signal either way.
Trading Takeaway
SPCX added 0.89% on below-average volume, holding above its short- and medium-term moving averages while remaining well off its June highs. The candle shape — a dip toward $138.60 followed by a close near the top of the range — points to buying interest on weakness rather than aggressive follow-through, and the light volume tempers the significance of the gain. For the next session, the key levels to watch are resistance at today's $142.06 high (with $143.34 and the $146.15-$146.23 zone above that) and support at the $138.08-$139.63 cluster, below which the $135.00 IPO offer price becomes the next reference point.
