The first full earnings cycle of SpaceX as a listed company (Nasdaq: SPCX) just answered the only question that mattered: it's not a space company anymore. It's an AI infrastructure company that also happens to own 90% of mass-to-orbit. Here's everything founders and investors need to know.

SpaceX Q3 2026 Financial and Operational Results
