It reported a net loss of $4.9 billion on $18.67 billion in revenue for 2025, inclusive of the entire current business.For the first quarter 2026, it booked a $4.27 billion net loss on $4.69 billion in revenue.But there are giant greenshoots, including a $1.25 billion monthly contract with Anthropic for compute.Musk holds 85.1% of the voting power in SpaceX, thanks to a dual-class stock structure.Look ahead: SpaceX is expected to begin trading in late June on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "SPCX."The filing doesn't disclose the number of shares being offered or a proposed price. Expect that to come in a couple of weeks via an amended filing.Note: This is a breaking story. Check back here for updates.
