The core near\u2011term catalysts are still the first few earnings reports as a public company, progress on AI data centers and Starlink adoption, and how the share price reacts as large lock\u2011up expiries start to add supply. The record IPO, rapid index inclusion and the US$60 billion Cursor deal have already sharpened concerns about dilution, capital intensity and execution risk across very different businesses. Roelof Botha\u2019s arrival on the board fits that backdrop: it modestly strengthens governance and audit oversight, but it does not directly change the key financial or operational swing factors investors are focused on today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">However, one emerging risk is how quickly heavy AI spending and upcoming lock\u2011up expiries could collide. Space Exploration Technologies&#8217; shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued. <a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/company\/id\/b7e4b90b-97c3-4886-8951-186c545a9393\/valuation?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=integrated-pitch&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4630431\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Find out how large the opportunity might be;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Find out how large the opportunity might be&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Find out how large the opportunity might be<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>      Exploring Other Perspectives     <a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/company\/id\/b7e4b90b-97c3-4886-8951-186c545a9393?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=infographic&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4630431\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2290ad56774db67cbf95ed46cbe64f05.png\" alt=\"SPCX 1-Year Stock Price Chart\" loading=\"eager\" height=\"664\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-lglytj  loaded\"\/><\/a> SPCX 1-Year Stock Price Chart      <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Nine fair value estimates from the Simply Wall St Community span roughly US$8 to just above US$191, underscoring how far opinions can stretch.
