SpaceX share prices have fallen to levels that would assign zero value to the company's artificial intelligence operations, according to Morgan Stanley analysts. The selloff raises questions about investor sentiment toward the aerospace firm's AI ventures.

Morgan Stanley's assessment highlights the steep decline in SpaceX's secondary market valuation. At the $100 price point, the company's market value would be attributed entirely to its core spaceflight and satellite internet business, with AI initiatives receiving no financial credit. The company has expanded into AI applications alongside its primary space operations, positioning artificial intelligence as a growth vector. Yet the share price deterioration suggests investors either doubt the commercial viability of these efforts or remain uncertain about their timeline to profitability. SpaceX's valuation movements reflect broader tech market volatility and shifting investor priorities. The analysis underscores how secondary market pricing can diverge significantly from private company fundamentals, particularly when growth narratives face headwinds. Morgan Stanley's commentary provides a metric for tracking market confidence in SpaceX's diversification strategy beyond its established rocket and Starlink operations.
