Earnings Special: SpaceX Profit Beats Estimates on Big Jump in AI Revenue

SpaceX exceeded estimates for quarterly revenue and profit, driven by substantial growth in its artificial intelligence and satellite internet businesses.
Elon Musk’s satellite, rocket and AI conglomerate posted $4.4 billion in net income for the quarter ended in September, far better than analysts’ average projection of $1.88 billion. Revenue increased 161% from a year ago and also beat expectations.

SpaceX shares rose in New York after the close of regular trading.
