That is likely to lift the carrying value of Google\u2019s long-standing investment in Elon Musk\u2019s rocket and satellite company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Most Read from Bloomberg<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Alphabet, Google\u2019s parent, has been an investor in SpaceX (<a data-i13n=\"cpos:8;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/SPAX.PVT\" data-ylk=\"slk:SPAX.PVT;cpos:8;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SPAX.PVT<\/a>) since at least 2015, when it joined Fidelity Investments in a $1 billion funding round for a combined stake of about 10% at the time, Bloomberg has reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">A representative for Google declined to comment, citing their policy of not disclosing or commenting on individual private holdings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">A similar revaluation boosted Alphabet\u2019s earnings earlier this year. In April, the company disclosed an $8 billion unrealized gain tied to its investment in a private company \u2014 widely understood to be SpaceX \u2014 after a tender offer late last year valued the company at about $350 billion. That gain helped lift Alphabet\u2019s net income for the March quarter above Wall Street expectations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">While Alphabet does not name individual private holdings in its financial filings, changes in SpaceX\u2019s valuation have previously flowed through earnings as \u201cunrealized gains on non-marketable equity securities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">With SpaceX\u2019s latest tender implying a much higher valuation, investors will be watching Alphabet\u2019s next earnings report for signs of another accounting boost.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Most Read from Bloomberg Businessweek<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">\u00a92025 Bloomberg L.P.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Bloomberg) \u2014 Alphabet Inc.
