SpaceX posted a 92% rise in quarterly revenue, reporting $7.8bn in the second quarter, well above analysts' estimates of $6.82bn. The company's AI revenue more than tripled to $2.56bn, driven by deals with rivals including Anthropic and Google. These partnerships added $1.6bn in revenue but limited SpaceX's ability to train its own AI models. The surge follows SpaceX's historic IPO that raised a record $86bn, though shares have since lost nearly half their value. The stock peaked at $225 post-IPO but has since shed over $1tn in market capitalization.
