SpaceX Rises 3% as Musk Pulls the NVIDIA Orbital Data Center Into 2027, JPMorgan Sees 75% Upside
SpaceX shares rose 3% after Elon Musk pushed NVIDIA’s orbital data-center timeline into 2027, while JPMorgan sees 75% upside. The delay shifts the near-term read toward execution risk for NVIDIA’s space-computing narrative, even as its existing business remains supported by $215.9B of revenue and 65.5% YoY growth.
SpaceX rose 3% after Musk moved the timeline for an NVIDIA-linked orbital data center into 2027. JPMorgan sees 75% upside for the investment. NVIDIA is the named operating company in the orbital-data-center theme, while JPMorgan is the institution attached to the upside view. NVIDIA's latest figures show $215.9B of revenue, 65.5% YoY growth, 71.1% gross margin, and 55.6% net margin; those figures describe the current business rather than the delayed project. The next read depends on whether NVIDIA or SpaceX provides a more specific 2027 schedule, capital commitment, or customer framework. The outlook also leaves open how much of JPMorgan's 75% upside depends on orbital computing versus NVIDIA's established AI infrastructure business.
The 2027 push caps the near-term upside from NVIDIA’s orbital-data-center narrative, while its $215.9B revenue base and 65.5% YoY growth keep the broader NVDA read constructive; JPM’s 75% upside remains an unverified valuation call.
The delay weakens the immediate catalyst value of the orbital-computing story, but it does not directly impair NVIDIA’s disclosed $215.9B revenue base or 65.5% YoY growth. JPMorgan’s 75% upside supplies a bullish valuation reference, yet the supplied report gives no assumptions that would make that target independently actionable.
A firm 2027 launch schedule, major customer commitment, or evidence that the orbital project is immaterial to near-term expectations would remove the delay overhang.

Price context does not establish that the story caused the move.
NVIDIA’s $215.9B of revenue, 65.5% YoY growth, 71.1% gross margin, and 55.6% net margin provide a substantial operating base beyond the delayed orbital project, while JPMorgan sees 75% upside.
The timeline moving into 2027 removes a near-term validation point for the orbital-data-center narrative.
