SpaceX Revenue Reaches $14.6 Billion in Third Quarter of 2026
For the third quarter of 2026, SpaceX reported a 161% year-over-year revenue increase to $14.6 billion.
In 2026 to date, SpaceX has conducted 113 rocket launches, delivering 1,517 metric tons of cargo to orbit. The Starlink audience has grown to 13.6 million users across 174 countries, while the satellite network now includes approximately 11,100 spacecraft.
The quarter was marked by the first commercial launch of Starship, which deployed 26 Starlink V3 satellites into orbit. According to SpaceX’s assessment, the downlink capacity increase for such a mission is roughly ten times higher than that of a Falcon 9 launch carrying Starlink satellites.
Cloud contracts, the acquisition of Cursor, and the development of Grok and Bot contributed an additional $6.7 billion in annual revenue to the artificial intelligence segment. In the communications segment, annual revenue increased by 69%, while operating profit rose by 99%. As of September 30, SpaceX’s computing power reached 1.7 GW, and it may grow to 20 GW next year.
