Investors have been riveted by the ups and downs of Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, or SpaceX (NASDAQ) stock. After its IPO on 12 June, the share price rocketed to $225, then crashed to $104. Today, it’s around $137. Quite a ride. <\/p>\n
FTSE 100 engineering giant Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) has mostly been going up. It’s rocketed 1,087% over the last five years. So where will these two stock market heroes go next? That’s anybody’s guess, but let’s see what the experts say. <\/p>\n
Can Elon Musk reach for the stars? <\/p>\n
SpaceX forecasts are suitably wild. Investment firm Raymond James reckons Elon Musk’s interstellar stock could hit $800 in the next 12 months, driven by its Starship launch technology and orbital computing infrastructure. That’s an increase of 484%, turning \u00a310,000 into a staggering \u00a358,394. <\/p>\n
If you think that’s too bullish, you’re not alone. Consensus forecast is $226, up 65% from today. Still pretty tempting. <\/p>\n
Today, the Rolls-Royce share price trades at 1,519p. Broker Morgan Stanley reckons it could hit 2,000p in 12 months. If correct, that’s an increase of 31.7%. Consensus target is 1,757p, up around 15%. I hold the stock and would be content with that. <\/p>\n
Interestingly, lowball forecasts tell us a lot. One broker reckons SpaceX stock will crash 45% to just $75. The lowest forecast for Rolls-Royce suggests is 1,500p, a modest 1.25% dip. <\/p>\n
Can these shares avoid meltdowns?\u00a0 <\/p>\n
I hold Rolls-Royce directly, and SpaceX indirectly, via the Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust. Personally, I think Rolls is a Hold and SpaceX a high-risk Buy. But what does artificial intelligence (AI) think? I showed ChatGPT what I’d written so far and asked if either stock might crash 50% in the next year. <\/p>\n
ChatGPT aims to please. It’s first response echoed what I’ve just said: “I’d make the point that 50% falls are conceivable for both, but vastly more plausible for SpaceX than Rolls-Royce”. <\/p>\n
It noted that SpaceX has already shown how violently its shares can move, saying: “SpaceX has extraordinary growth prospects, and its valuation reflects enormous expectations around Starlink, launch services, artificial intelligence and its longer-term ambitions”. <\/p>\n
Noting that’s also the danger, it added: “When expectations are sky-high, even a disappointing launch, slower growth or a wobble in the AI story could trigger a brutal repricing”. <\/p>\n
Which one’s riskier? <\/p>\n
ChatGPT emphasised that Rolls-Royce “is an established FTSE 100 business with substantial recurring revenues from servicing aircraft engines”. <\/p>\n
It added: “A 50% fall is certainly possible, if investors decide the shares have become wildly overvalued or the global economy deteriorates sharply. But I’d regard it as considerably less likely”. <\/p>\n
Rather like those brokers then. ChatGPT continued: “SpaceX is the one I would lose sleep over.” Odd, I didn’t think chatbots slept. It concluded: “Could either stock halve? Absolutely. Would I bet on it happening within a year? No”. <\/p>\n
Here’s my view. Both are fabulous enterprises and well worth considering. But Rolls is expensive with a price-to-earnings ratio of more than 50. Maybe one to look at on a dip. The SpaceX share price could go anywhere, but might just be massive. Worth considering, for investors willing to take the gamble. <\/p>\n
