SpaceX, Elon Musk's space company, has released a video for its initial public offering roadshow.
Blockbeats and other outlets reported on June 4 that SpaceX had published a roughly 17-minute IPO roadshow video. In the video, Chief Financial Officer Bret Johnsen lays out the company's long-term goals.
Musk founded SpaceX to change humanity's destiny and make humans a multiplanetary species, Johnsen says in the video. He adds that the company can now expand that vision through Starlink and artificial intelligence solutions.
The roadshow video sets a target gross margin of about 70%. SpaceX's gross margin was about 49% last year. The company also aims to lift its net margin to about 45% from negative 26% a year earlier. It did not give a timeline for reaching those targets.
SpaceX also discussed capital spending. Johnsen says AI investment has accounted for the largest share of capital expenditures over the past two years. He adds that SpaceX is not alone in making large-scale capex investments.
Johnsen also mentions asteroid mining as a future business model. Odaily reported that SpaceX had not shown much interest in the field before pursuing an IPO.
