800b valuation on 13b of revenue in 2024. That's a 61x multiple.

Boeing for comparison has a 2x multiple (65b rev with a 154b valuation).

SpaceX has hints of monopoly, has shown consistent innovation, and has an ambitious long term vision. Boeing lacks all of the above, so it's apples and oranges

From about $9bn in 2023. 40%+ growth yields a PRG ratio (modified PEG [1]) of about 1.5x.

Boeing managed to increase its revenue in 2025 about 10%, putting its similar ratio at around 0.2x. SpaceX trading around 7x where Boeing trades doesn't strike me, at first glance, as unreasonable.

I think the era where a company’s valuation is defined by its fundamentals is firmly behind us.
