SpaceX's third-quarter results were due after the bell on Oct. 20

SpaceX was due to release third-quarter results after the closing bell on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026, CNBC reported. CNBC called it the company's second earnings report since its record IPO in June. Ahead of the release, the outlet cited LSEG consensus estimates of $12.72 billion in revenue and earnings of 13 cents per share.

The questions extended beyond rockets. CNBC said most of SpaceX's revenue and profit in recent quarters came from its connectivity segment, which consists of the Starlink satellite internet service. For the third quarter, CNBC cited StreetAccount estimates of $6.47 billion in AI revenue, $4.84 billion in connectivity sales and $1.41 billion in space-business revenue. Those figures were forecasts, not announced third-quarter results.

AI spending was another issue ahead of the report. According to CNBC, SpaceX reported $18.4 billion in capital expenditures in its first earnings report in August, with 80% going to its AI division. That was an earlier spending figure, not a third-quarter tally.
