Space Exploration Technologies SPCX
Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX) is an aerospace and defense company dedicated to the design, manufacture, and launch of rockets and spacecraft, as well as providing space transportation services. SpaceX shows exceptional revenue growth of 91.9%, but its valuation is extremely demanding (forward P/E of 85.29, EV/EBITDA of 654.47) and its operating profitability is negative (margin of -1.80%), reflecting an aggressive reinvestment strategy with a competitive moat yet to be proven.

Context and risks
The rise in 10-year interest rates (5.17%) affects SPCX due to the long duration of its cash flows (forward P/E of 85.29), making its financing more expensive and reducing the present value of its long-term projects. Geopolitical tension with Iran adds volatility to market sentiment but does not directly impact its business.

Verdict: Hold in portfolio only for investors with high risk tolerance and a very long-term horizon; the potential of Starship and Starlink is enormous, but the price already discounts much of the future success.
Main risk: The main risk is the technical and operational execution of the Starship program: a delay or failure in its development would cast doubt on the expected cost reduction and justify the current high valuation.
