Investors are weighing the long-term investment potential between Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX (SPCX), both led by Elon Musk. SpaceX recently became publicly traded, completing the largest IPO in history with a market capitalization of $1.48 billion, nearly matching Tesla’s. Tesla’s annual sales are projected to grow by 6% this year and 12% by fiscal 2027, reaching $113.42 billion, while SpaceX is expected to see a 67% sales increase this year to $31.34 billion, and an 80% increase to $56.33 billion in fiscal 2027.
For fiscal 2026, Tesla’s earnings per share (EPS) are expected to rise 20%, reaching $1.66, while SpaceX is projected to post an adjusted loss of $0.91 per share. Tesla remains one of the world’s most valuable companies despite competition and declining vehicle demand, whereas SpaceX’s traffic primarily comes from its Starlink satellite internet services and a growing defense business through Starshield.
Overall, Tesla appears more attractive for investors seeking stability, with a price-to-sales ratio of 15X and consistent profitability, whereas SpaceX carries a high valuation near 94X and ongoing losses, posing higher risk but potentially greater rewards.
