WATCH: SpaceX results are due on August 4, for the first time as a public company, after a steep fall in share price since its IPO. Anna MacDonald of Hargreaves Lansdown told @Reuters why most investors who bought into the company would be keeping their shares for the long run

What happened

SpaceX will publish its first set of financial results on August 4, now that it is a public company, after its share price fell sharply since the IPO, and investors say they plan to hold the stock for the long term.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The earnings release will give investors their first public look at SpaceX’s revenue and cost structure, helping to explain the recent price drop and indicating whether the company can sustain growth that justifies long‑term holding.

Analyst inference

Since going public, SpaceX’s shares have declined noticeably, reflecting market skepticism about its cash‑burn and execution risk; a solid earnings report could stabilize the stock and influence other high‑growth tech listings.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Key earnings metrics such as revenue, profit and cash flow, which will show whether SpaceX’s launch business is generating sustainable cash. Proposed
2. Share‑price reaction in the days after the results, indicating how investors reassess the company’s valuation. Proposed
3. Management guidance on future launch demand, capital spending and any new contracts, which could affect the company’s growth outlook. Proposed
