Alphaville LLC initiates coverage of SpaceX with Buy recommendation

Alphaville LLC has started covering SpaceX with a Buy recommendation, becoming one of the first research firms to initiate formal coverage on Elon Musk's space company, which is not publicly listed.

Background

The Financial Times' Alphaville blog (known for its sceptical, often humorous take on markets) has "initiated coverage" of SpaceX with a Buy rating — a joke format mimicking a sell-side analyst report. The piece is satirical, not a real investment recommendation. SpaceX is Elon Musk's privately held rocket and satellite company, valued at roughly $180bn. Unlike public companies, it doesn't have stock analysts issuing ratings, which is what makes Alphaville's parody land. The joke skewers the breathless hype around Musk and the clichés of financial research notes (price targets, bull/bear cases) by applying them to a company whose shares most people can't even buy.

The SpaceX IPO is going to be a once in a lifetime bonanza for the tech industry.
