I always love to see the faces and hear the voices of short sellers. Just fascinating.
Here one betting against SPCX:
Peter Andersen from Andersen Capital Management (dba Integrated Advisors Network), who is short SpaceX with long-dated puts.
His arguments
- Valuation is extremely elevated.
- The business has three main segments that are hard to analyze together; he views Starlink as the only meaningfully profitable / positive-cash-flow piece with a demonstrated subscriber base.
- A potential Tesla–SpaceX merger would make the situation “even more confusing” and is not a solution—it would add another industry and geometrically increase complexity and risk.
He has even floated (as an extreme but considered scenario) a future spin-off of Starlink.
