Should You Sell SpaceX Stock Before the Huge Investor Update?

Parkev Tatevosian, CFAJul 24, 2026

Summary

Parkev warns investors about an upcoming share unlock for SpaceX starting August 6th, where up to $116 billion worth of stock will become eligible for sale. Parkev notes that the number of tradable shares could explode from 639 million to 5.3 billion by the end of the year. Parkev believes that rational insiders will sell as much as possible because the company's current $1.6 trillion market capitalization is based on hype rather than financial performance.

Parkev breaks down the financial health of SpaceX, noting that for the 2025 fiscal year, the company generated $18.7 billion in revenue but suffered a $2.6 billion loss. Parkev points out that these losses are accelerating, with a $1.9 billion loss in the most recent quarter alone. Parkev also highlights that the business is extremely capital intensive, requiring $15 billion in capital expenditures recently to support its space, AI, and social media integrations.

Regarding the mentioned stock:

SPACEX: Parkev views the stock as being ridiculously overvalued with a price-to-sales ratio of approximately 94. Parkev explains that even if the valuation dropped to $1.5 trillion, the ratio would still be a high 80, which Parkev finds unjustifiable for a loss-making entity. Parkev strongly recommends selling shares immediately due to the impending supply of shares and Elon Musk's history of overly optimistic projections that often take much longer to materialize than promised.

Sentiment: SELLAction: RECOMMENDED

Reasoning: Parkev identifies a massive share unlock event where insiders can sell up to $116 billion worth of stock starting in August, which Parkev expects will lead to a flood of sell orders. Parkev highlights that SpaceX is trading at an extreme price-to-sales ratio of 94 despite losing $2.6 billion annually. Parkev argues that the company is a money-losing business with accelerating losses and massive capital expenditure requirements, making the current valuation unsustainable. Parkev explicitly states that if Parkev owned the stock, Parkev would hit the sell button immediately.
