Space Exploration Technologies (NasdaqGS:SPCX) has secured a reported US$45b AI compute agreement from Anthropic for access to its Colossus and Colossus II data centers.
Anthropic is expected to pay SpaceX several billions of dollars over multiple years under the Colossus infrastructure arrangement.
Alphabet’s Google unit has deepened its partnership with SpaceX and plans to allocate nearly US$1b a month to Nvidia GPU powered AI workloads on SpaceX infrastructure.
The Anthropic Colossus contracts and Google’s larger AI workloads highlight only one part of the broader SpaceX investment story. Take a look at 1 major warning sign we have identified for Space Exploration Technologies.

NasdaqGS:SPCX Earnings & Revenue Growth as at Nov 2026
Space Exploration Technologies runs a global satellite broadband network that sits at the intersection of telecom services and large scale data infrastructure, so these AI contracts plug directly into assets already built to move huge volumes of data across borders. For you as an investor, the story links a traditional connectivity business to a growing role as a backbone provider for third party AI workloads.
3 things going right for Space Exploration Technologies that this headline doesn’t cover.
SpaceX’s AI mega deals lean into the bull case, but raise concentration and funding questions
For Space Exploration Technologies, the Anthropic and Google contracts line up squarely with the Narrative that AI demand is carrying much of the upside. They speak directly to the AI segment focus on monetising large Nvidia GPU deployments at Colossus data centers and targeting multi gigawatt compute capacity. That supports the catalyst that global AI workloads are already turning existing infrastructure into higher margin leasing revenue. At the same time, the sheer size of Anthropic’s commitments and Google’s spend highlights the risk flagged in the Narrative around heavy capex and whether future contract economics and utilisation ultimately justify the billions already directed into Super Intelligence and related projects.
See how these catalysts shape Space Exploration Technologies’ path to a $257 fair value.
The clearest proof point will be whether future filings and management updates show sustained AI run rate revenue tracking toward the internally referenced US$100b level by late 2026 without a marked deterioration in cash runway or a need for fresh equity that contradicts the current funding assumptions in the story.
The piece of the SpaceX story hiding in plain sight
