SpaceX's first public results: fast growth and $15.8 billion of AI spending
SpaceX's first results since its IPO showed revenue up 92% to $7.8 billion, with AI capital spending of $15.8 billion in one quarter and a narrower loss.
On 4 August 2026, in its first results since going public in June, SpaceX said April to June revenue was $7.8 billion, up 92% from a year earlier, and its net loss narrowed to $541 million. Its AI business brought in $2.6 billion. AI capital spending was $15.8 billion of $18.4 billion in total. SpaceX also reported cloud deals with $14.1 billion in contracted sales. We file this because it shows how fast SpaceX is growing and what it spends on AI computers. How we read it: fast growth and a narrower loss, with AI spending as SpaceX itself reported it. What would change this: cloud customers pulling back. Why it matters to you: the apps and chatbots you use run on computers like these, and someone pays for them.
What this doesn't prove
SpaceX's own figures for April to June. Contracted sales are only the non-cancellable part of contracts, as SpaceX defines it, and are not revenue.
