SpaceX Q3 Earnings Beat Estimates on $14.575B in Sales

$147.95 $0.01 -0.01% vs prior close

SPCX closed at $147.95 on October 20, 2026, essentially flat against the prior close of $147.96 (-0.01%), after trading between $143.27 and $148.66 on 78,103,776 shares.

Executive Summary

SPCX finished the session unchanged from Monday's close, but not without movement. The stock opened at $146.165, dipped to $143.27, and recovered to close near the top of its range at $148.66 high. Headlines through the day centered on the company's third-quarter earnings, which were due after the close. Benzinga described the stock as trading near flat ahead of the report, with attention on Starship, AI infrastructure spending, Starlink mobile expansion, and a possible Tesla tie-up.

The earnings headline arrived at 20:02 UTC, after the session had ended. Benzinga reported Q3 EPS of $0.35 against a $0.12 estimate, and sales of $14.575B against a $12.738B estimate. None of that is reflected in today's price, since the regular session closed before the release. The next session will be the first to trade on those results, and the price reaction is not yet known.

8. If SpaceX Stock Falls Below $135, Here's the Move I'd Make

SpaceX stock has declined from its IPO price of $135 to $145 after peaking at $211.39 in June 2026. While the company shows strong revenue growth (33% YoY) and ambitious $1 trillion revenue targets by 2030, it faces significant headwinds including massive losses in space and AI divisions, rising interest rates, and upcoming lockup expirations. The analyst suggests waiting for a much deeper dip before considering it as a speculative long-term play. (The Motley Fool, Oct 20, 11:35 AM ET)

Price Action

Metric	Value
Open	$146.165
High	$148.66
Low	$143.27
Close	$147.95
Change vs prior close	-0.01% (prior close $147.96)
Volume	78,103,776
Intraday range	$5.39
Close vs IPO	-8.08% vs IPO-day close of $160.95; +9.59% vs IPO offer price of $135

Buyers defended the lower end of the range. After the $143.27 low, the stock recovered $4.68 into the close, and the close sat at 0.87 of the day's range, in the upper part of the session. Volume of 78.1 million was above the prior session's 74.1 million but below the average to date of 82.7 million, at roughly 0.74 of that average by the site's volume-versus-average indicator. The move was an intraday recovery on average-to-slightly-light participation, ending in a flat close ahead of earnings.

Over the last six sessions, the stock has stepped down from $163.42 on October 12 to $146.03 on October 16, then ticked up to $147.96 on October 19. Today's close held that level.

Takeaway: a flat close after an intraday dip and recovery, with the earnings reaction still ahead.

Technicals

SPCX has traded for only about four months, so its history is short. The 200-day moving average is not available, and the longer-window readings below should be treated as descriptive, not as established signals. The analysis leans on price structure, candle shape, volume, and real levels from the data.

Trend

The short-term trend is mixed. The close of $147.95 sits just below the 5-day simple moving average of $148.54 and below the 5-day exponential average of $149.72. It is also below the 10-day average of $155.34 and the 20-day average of $154.70, which reflects the pullback from the early-October high of $171.92 close on October 6. It is roughly in line with the 50-day average of $148.63. The 14-day RSI reads 45.22, which is slightly below the midpoint and consistent with a modest, not extreme, recent decline. Because the stock is young, these readings carry less weight than they would for a seasoned stock.

Candle read

The session's candle had a body of 1.78 (open $146.165 to close $147.95, a small gain from the open), an upper wick of 0.71, and a lower wick of 2.89 within a total range of 5.39. The long lower wick relative to the body shows that sellers pushed price down to $143.27 but could not hold it. The close location of 0.87 places the close in the upper part of the range. This is a modestly constructive shape on its own, but it came on lighter-than-average volume and ended flat versus the prior close, so it does not by itself indicate a reversal.

Support levels

$146.03: the October 16 close, the recent closing low in this pullback.
$143.27: today's intraday low, which sellers tested and buyers defended.
$135.00: the IPO offer price, a reference level many market participants watch.

Resistance levels

$148.66: today's intraday high.
$152.16: the October 14 close, where the recent decline gained pace.
$160.95: the IPO-day close.

Momentum interpretation

Bull scenario: a move above $148.66 that holds, followed by a reclaim of the $152.16 area, would point to the lower-wick rejection from today carrying forward. A push toward $160.95 would require follow-through well beyond that.

Bear scenario: a close below $146.03 would extend the October pullback, and a break of $143.27 would put the session's rejection level in doubt. The IPO offer price of $135 would then come into view.

Neutral scenario: price holds between $143.27 and $148.66, as it did today, while the market digests the earnings release. That would keep the stock range-bound near its 5-day and 50-day averages.

Trading Takeaway

SPCX ended a quiet, flat session with a recovery from the lows, then released results after the close that are not yet priced. Reported EPS of $0.35 and sales of $14.575B came in above the estimates cited by Benzinga, but the price reaction, and any guidance or commentary on Starship, AI spending, or a Tesla combination, are unknown at the time of writing. Other coverage was mixed on valuation, with Motley Fool pieces citing a high price-to-sales ratio and a lockup expiration expected in December.

Key levels for the next session: $148.66 and $152.16 above, and $146.03, $143.27, and $135.00 below. Because earnings were released after the close, the opening price may differ from today's close, and these levels are reference points, not predictions.
