SpaceX is preparing for the kind of stock-market debut Wall Street rarely gets to see: a planned $75 billion raise, a June 12 Nasdaq listing, and a target valuation of $1.75 trillion. It is the sort of number that turns an IPO into a spectacle, but just as the roadshow begins, Morningstar has put a far colder figure on the table.
Morningstar analysts believe SpaceX is "significantly overvalued" ahead of its blockbuster IPO. The analysts say xAI poses a "material threat of value destruction" to the company, with its "economic moat indeterminate.
Morningstar is priced for collapse, trading at one-third its 10-year average P/E, despite strong business performance. MORN delivered 10.8% revenue growth and 42.6% adjusted diluted EPS growth in Q1 2026, with standout results in its Credit business. Management signaled deep undervaluation by tripling share repurchases to $300 million and raising dividends, reinforcing shareholder return commitment.
Morningstar NASDAQ: MORN shareholders approved all proposals presented at the company's 2026 annual meeting, including the election of 10 directors, an advisory “say on pay” vote, and the ratification of KPMG as independent auditor for 2026, Executive Chairman Joe Mansueto said. The company said it will file an 8-K with more detailed voting results by May 13.
