Will Starlink IPO Before SpaceX? What Investors Should Know.
Key Points Starlink operates as a subsidiary of SpaceX, and specializes in satellite internet services. There are multiple ways that SpaceX could take Starlink public while still maintaining majority control of the business. Industry estimates suggest that Starlink is SpaceX's largest source of revenue and is generating positive free cash flow, making now an interesting time to consider an IPO. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Be it in investing or life in general, people often want things that they can't have. When it comes to stocks, it's not uncommon for investors -- particularly retail investors -- to fawn over the prospects of owning equity in high-profile start-ups. Unfortunately, these types of investments are generally reserved for venture capital (VC) firms, private equity funds, or accredited investors. One of the most popular start-ups in the world is Tesla CEO Elon Musk's space exploration company, SpaceX. As of this writing, industry research suggests that SpaceX is the most valuable private technology company in the world -- having achieved a valuation of $350 billion earlier this year. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » In addition to rocket ships, SpaceX also provides satellite internet services through a subsidiary business, called Starlink. Over the last few years, Starlink's popularity has fueled speculation that it could potentially go public. But seeing as how Starlink operates within the broader SpaceX orbit, how would such a transaction even work? Let's dig into the mechanics around a potential Starlink initial public offering (IPO) and assess how and why such a deal could benefit SpaceX. SpaceX, Starlink, and retail investors: It's a complicated situation A concept that retail investors may not fully understand is that when you invest in a business -- especially one that is diversified -- you effectively gain a form of ownership in the various segments of the company. For example, if you're interested in autonomous vehicles and want to invest in Waymo, the easiest way to do that is by owning Alphabet stock. Waymo is a subsidiary of Alphabet, and so owning the stock provides investors with exposure to the company's entire ecosystem including Google, YouTube, Google Cloud, Waymo, and much more. Along the same lines, if SpaceX were to go public, investors would be able to buy stock through their brokerage account and have an ownership stake to the entire business (including exposure to Starlink). But what would a situation look like that features a completely separate initial public offering for Starlink? There are multiple different ways that SpaceX could structure such a deal. One option could be for SpaceX to partially spin off Starlink as its own legal entity and subsequently offer a certain percentage of the business through an IPO. Perhaps a more interesting structure would be for SpaceX to create a tracking stock just for the Starlink division. In such an event, investors could buy shares in stock that only tracks the performance of Starlink as opposed to the entire SpaceX operation. The broader point here is that taking Starlink public before SpaceX is entirely doable... but it's also complicated and requires some creative thinking as it pertains to deal structure. Taking this one step further, what would SpaceX's motivation be for taking Starlink public? Does a Starlink IPO even make sense for SpaceX? One benefit of taking Starlink public is that it would provide investors with some autonomy regarding how they want to allocate capital. In other words, by listing Starlink and SpaceX as separate public entities, investors have a choice over buying exposure into a lumpy aerospace and defense business (SpaceX) or a subscription-based, recurring revenue internet services company (Starlink). As a private company, SpaceX is not required to disclose its financial profile. With that said, sending rocket ships to space is a complex, time-consuming ambition. Moreover, space exploration is not exactly a linear type of business. What I mean by all of this is that SpaceX's core business doesn't necessarily have predictable revenue streams, but it requires hefty investments across research and development (R&D) and capital expenditures (capex) on an ongoing basis. According to a report published by Payload Space earlier this year, Starlink is believed to be the largest source of revenue within the entire SpaceX business. In addition, it's also suggested that the overwhelming majority of Starlink's revenue stems from recurring subscription services. With that in mind, Starlink's actual profitability profile is not entirely known. Reporting from Bloomberg has suggested that Starlink's profitability profile is not robust given the high costs of building and launching satellites. But on the other side of the equation, some would argue that Starlink's internet subscriptions help offset the maintenance costs affiliated with low-margin satellites. While the company's precise financial picture independent of SpaceX is not entirely known, I remain optimistic that a Starlink IPO would be well received. A Starlink IPO could represent a capital infusion for SpaceX while still allowing the company to retain control of Starlink from an ownership and governance perspective. In other words, SpaceX can leverage proceeds from a Starlink IPO to reinvest in the core space exploration business. This would permit for more aggressive investments in the core rocket business, ultimately helping SpaceX intensify the competitive landscape with the likes of Blue Origin or Rocket Lab. Given Starlink's reported explosive growth and SpaceX's ability to maintain control over the satellite business, I think Musk should seriously consider taking Starlink public sooner rather than later. Don't miss this second chance at a potentially lucrative opportunity Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you'll want to hear this. On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a 'Double Down' stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you're worried you've already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it's too late. And the numbers speak for themselves: Nvidia: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2009, you'd have $449,961!* Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you'd have $40,603!* Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you'd have $636,628!* Right now, we're issuing 'Double Down' alerts for three incredible companies, available when you join Stock Advisor, and there may not be another chance like this anytime soon.

Faraday Future Founder and Co-CEO YT Jia Shares Weekly Investor Update: Company Has Received Over 10,000 Paid Pre-Orders for the FX Super One MPV as It Marks the 4th Anniversary of FFAI's Public Listing
Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) ('Faraday Future', 'FF' or the 'Company'), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today shared a weekly business update from YT Jia, Founder and Co-CEO of FF. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: Faraday Future Founder and Co-CEO YT Jia Shares Weekly Investor Update: Company Has Received Over 10,000 Paid Pre-Orders for the FX Super One MPV as it Marks the 4th Anniversary of FFAI's Public Listing 'This week marks the 4th anniversary of FFAI's public listing. Over the past four years, we've weathered countless ups and downs, pushed through our darkest hours, and stood firm in the face of doubts and challenges—never giving up. Above all, we are most grateful to the investors, stockholders, and partners who have stood by us. Your support is the reason our dream has never dimmed. As of the day of our July 17 Initial Product Launch of FX Super One, we have received over 10,000 paid pre-orders for this vehicle. Beyond the much-discussed Super EAI F.A.C.E., many people have asked me: what exactly are Super One's breakthroughs in product value for the U.S. market? To answer that, let's take a closer look at S2 and S3 Products & Technologies, where we've been carefully crafting. We've distilled five big breakthroughs in product value—these are what we believe give Super One its truly disruptive and differentiated edge in the U.S. market. First, it represents a whole new category—First Class EAI-MPV, addressing three key pain points for American users, including: Number one, traditional minivans may offer large interior space, but have poor power performance and safety, and offer no sense of luxury whatsoever. Number two, while the Escalade is luxurious, it's fundamentally constrained by its traditional, bulky SUV structure. This leads to a poor driving experience, inefficient use of space, and a compromised user experience overall. It's inconvenient to get in and out of and lacks the versatility for today's diverse lifestyles. Number three, let alone EAI capabilities, both of these vehicle types have almost zero AI capability and are stuck in a past era. We believe Super One is here to shatter old paradigms and deliver brand new value. Second, it is a vehicle EAI agent and an avatar of its owner. It redefines the human-vehicle relationship, moving from passive control to a partnership of mutual understanding and shared experience. It feels what you feel and accompanies where you go. Third, it delivers comprehensive intelligent active safety. Its high-strength steel body, electric AWD, and an AI risk prediction engine all work together to make every journey exceptionally safe and secure. Fourth, AI luxury and ultimate comfort like a private clubhouse, it breaks boundaries and sets new gold standards for luxury and comfort. Fifth, FF empowers the FX Super One with much of the core value of the $300,000 FF 91. With extreme price-to-performance ratio and running cost, it aims to bring accessible AI TechLuxury. S5: On capital markets and finance: After the July 17 launch, our Capital team organized a series of roadshows for investment institutions. We also had in-depth conversations with many investors online. A lot of investors are especially interested in our latest Web3 strategic partnership with HabitTrade, a well-known digital asset infrastructure platform. Many are excited about how FF, together with the Web3 industry, can once again generate eco chemistry and lead the next major trend in the industry. In fact, we've been researching and preparing in Web3 space for quite some time. We firmly believe that, with FF's unique AI and internet DNA, and by combining EAI mobility with Web3, blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and stablecoin applications, we can create entirely new value for users and the industry. We're building a future where Web2 and Web3, on-chain and off-chain, the physical and virtual worlds, all come together. We look forward to sharing these exciting plans and updates with you soon. Thank you to all our investors for your continued attention and support for FF and FX. We'll keep driving the company's growth with open and transparent communication. Today we're starting with Government affairs updates in terms of S7 System and Capability Build-Up. This week, we brought the FX Super One and FF 91 to Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. There, we held high-level closed-door discussions with over a dozen U.S. Congress members and tariff policy makers. We talked about important topics such as reshoring U.S. manufacturing, technological innovation, and industry policies related to tariffs—efforts that support the implementation of the Global Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy. After experiencing both models in person, the Congress members were very impressed. We believe we will fill a key gap in the market, upgrading the American consumer experience, and helping accelerate the reshoring of manufacturing and the advancement of the entire industry chain. But really, after the FX Super One's initial launch, this is only the beginning. The next crucial steps will be product delivery, a series of certification tests, and trial production. I'll be leading the team to give it our all in this new chapter—continuing our relentless execution. In August, we'll also be taking the FX Super One to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the luxury car events. This fulfills the promise we made there last August, and we'll be sharing new outcomes from our bridge strategy. For us, attending Pebble Beach every year is not just about showcasing our products, it's about demonstrating our unwavering belief in making the impossible possible. We welcome friends and partners who are interested in joining us. See you next week.'
