Why SpaceX Stock Fell

According to The Motley Fool, early gains faded on November 11 as investors turned their attention to Starship Flight 15, which the publication said is scheduled for Friday, November 13. The Motley Fool said the launch carries near-term execution and technical risk. It also pointed to an insider lockup expiring on December 8 that could add tradable shares to the market, noting that SpaceX went public in 2026.

The early strength followed a regulatory step. As reported by Moneywise, the Federal Communications Commission said on November 10 that it had accepted a filing from Starlink Spectrum Holdings, Musk's entity, to buy 800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio licenses from Grain Management, a deal The Wall Street Journal reported could cost about $8 billion. Moneywise stressed that acceptance is not an approval, with public comments and opposition due in December, and noted that Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile warned the FCC through their trade group CTIA that a wider buildout could "have real consequences for consumers."

Separately, Elon Musk posted on X on Wednesday that "100GW in space is roughly equal to 800GW on Earth," per Stocktwits. The comments followed a contract confirmed by German equipment maker Singulus Technologies, worth more than EUR 60 million, to supply a heterojunction solar-cell production line for delivery in the first half of 2027 at a Bastrop, Texas facility. The Motley Fool said the Singulus order supported premarket trading.

SPCX Stock Analysis: Supporting Factors and Risks

Supporting Factors

  • The FCC's November 10 acceptance moves the Grain spectrum purchase into formal review, and Moneywise reported that the FCC noted the planned coverage would reach roughly 100% of the US population.
  • SpaceX's third-quarter results, announced October 20, showed revenue up 161% year over year to $14.6 billion, including $7.6 billion from its AI business, according to The Motley Fool.
  • The Singulus solar-cell line, due in the first half of 2027, supports the solar-powered orbital data center plans Musk described, per Stocktwits.

Risks

  • Starship Flight 15 carries near-term execution and technical risk, according to The Motley Fool.
  • The insider lockup expiring December 8 could add tradable shares to the market, the same report said.
  • The spectrum deal still needs FCC approval, and the three largest US carriers have pushed back on the wider buildout, per Moneywise.
  • The stock closed 38.07% below its 52-week high of $225.64.
