1 Stock Market Highlights

1) Why Did SpaceX (SPCX) Stock Drop After Earnings?

SpaceX (SPCX) reported Q2 revenue well above expectations while narrowing losses, driven by strong growth in Starlink and AI-related businesses. However, surging capital expenditures and the upcoming lock-up expiration weighed heavily on investor sentiment. Shares remained under pressure throughout the session, allowing Meta to overtake SpaceX in market capitalization. Rising AI infrastructure costs and shareholder unlock concerns have become the market's primary focus.
