Everyone’s talking about SpaceX’s IPO.
And it’s easy to see why…
McKinsey forecasts that the commercial space industry could hit $1.8 trillion… and one analyst at PitchBook says that this IPO could be like “Tesla on steroids.”
But before you line up for SpaceX’s IPO, there’s something you need to know.
Because the same team that recommended Tesla at $2.12 way back in 2012 now says there’s potentially an even better stock to play this massive opportunity.
Not only does it continue to smash records on margins, revenue, and backlog orders…
But it’s also currently about 2% the size of SpaceX’s expected IPO—meaning it could have much more room to run.
Here at The Motley Fool, we’re well aware of how profitable it can be to back Elon Musk’s ventures early on.
After all, we recommended Tesla in 2012. It’s returned over 17,000% since.
And back in 2013, our team recommended Solar City, the just-IPO’d solar power company co-founded by Musk. Anyone who held on through today would be up 932%.
So it might surprise you that while the mainstream media fixates on SpaceX, our analysts are focused on a different opportunity in the projected $1.8 trillion “Space Race” industry.
It’s a company that Tom Gardner, co-founder at The Motley Fool, says has his “highest conviction.”
Some of our top analysts first bought it at around $5 a share… today it’s hovering at the $60 per share mark.
And while it may feel like we’re early to this emerging field, just consider what’s happened in the weeks since our CEO recorded a special briefing alerting readers to this company.
The company reported record annual revenue for 2025, at $602 million.
It also reported a record quarter in Q4 2025, logging $180 million.
It achieved record gross margins of 44.3%, signaling that it’s becoming more efficient as its business scales, and;
It announced $1.85 billion in backlogged contracts, up 73% year-over-year.
Now, of course SpaceX will command the headlines in the weeks and months ahead.
After all, a $1.75 trillion IPO doesn’t happen every day.
And it’s very possible its shares double or triple soon after going public. Who knows?
What we do know is that this company, valued at just $35 billion today, has a much clearer path to glory.
After all, it’s just 2% the size of SpaceX’s expected valuation.
Consider this fact: Since 2021, it’s grown revenues by 76% each year on average.
Gross margins also increased every year… so the company was becoming much more profitable as it continued to notch new revenue records.
It’s just been awarded the biggest contract in its 20-year history… and even successfully pulled off a mission to Mars for NASA.
Perhaps most encouraging for investors, the record growth it’s seeing is broad-based, taking place across each and every one of its space systems component businesses.
Yet we’d wager not one in 100 investors has heard of this stock.
Today, you can get the full story, in a just-released briefing.
In it, you’ll discover:
The name and ticker symbol of this stock that continues to smash records in revenue, margins, contracts, and more
A treasure trove of research and separate recommendations from the same team that recommended Nvidia, Tesla, and Amazon YEARS before they soared thousands of percent
Access to their April 2026 rankings, in which they’ll reveal the top six stocks on their radar out of thousands that have been considered and vetted
Much, much more
But to act on this opportunity, you’ll need to move quickly.
Remember, SpaceX’s possible $1.75 trillion valuation wouldn’t just make it the biggest IPO in history.
It would also be the biggest catalyst ever to hit the space sector… by a long shot.
Already, space stocks are rallying on news of the possible SpaceX IPO, according to CNBC and others.
In fact, CNBC reported that shares of the company already jumped 10% on the news.
What might they do when SpaceX officially files to go public?
Don’t wait to find out.
