According to CNBC, SpaceX shares rose 6% in early trading Friday after falling nearly 13% on Wednesday and Thursday following the Nov. 3 election. Deutsche Bank reiterated its buy rating and $250 price target. Analyst Edison Yu said political retribution risks against Elon Musk may be more a matter of perception than reality, citing SpaceX’s near-monopoly in rocket launches and its companies’ dealings primarily with executive branch agencies, which remain under Republican control. Yu also said most of SpaceX’s computing capacity is expected to be outside Texas in 2027E, at 8-10 GW, and does not affect the bank’s near-term estimates.

AI and semiconductor stocks sold off sharply on Thursday after Republicans suffered a major midterm election defeat, prompting investors to reassess the outlook for data center construction. According to Sina Finance, investors are evaluating how Democratic control of Congress could affect technology regulation and the AI boom; U.S. technology stocks showed signs of recovery early Friday. Nvidia fell 9.3% on Thursday, AMD dropped 17.3%, Microsoft lost 3.6%, Micron Technology declined 17.5%, Broadcom fell 10.4%, Tesla dropped 10.8%, and SpaceX fell 9.1%. AI-focused cloud providers NBIS, IREN, and CRWV fell 15%, 17%, and 10%, respectively. Capital.com senior financial markets analyst Kyle Rodda wrote that investors were assessing the potential effects of Democratic control of Congress on technology regulation and the AI boom. He said political and regulatory risks had added to pressure on an AI trade already facing high interest rates, heavy capital spending, and uncertain returns. Disappointing quarterly results and signs of slower AI spending growth have also weighed on the market. Local ballot measures in 10 states on Tuesday sought to constrain data center construction. Research by the International Data Center Association found that community opposition led to at least 46 AI data center projects in 20 states being rejected, withdrawn, or stalled from January 2024 through May 2026. The projects represented more than $170 billion in announced investment. Yorkville Ives & Co. partner Dan Ives said investors were concerned that the election could slow construction of the 800 to 1,000 data centers expected to support the AI revolution, and that Democratic control of Congress, particularly the Senate, could create significant obstacles for the industry over the next two years. Goldman Sachs estimated that AI-related capital spending on computing, data centers, and power could total $7.6 trillion from 2026 through 2031. Barclays U.S. credit strategy head Dominique Toublan said local opposition could raise construction costs without stopping projects altogether. Ives said the growth rate of large technology companies’ capital spending could peak in 2027, earlier than his previous 2028–2029 estimate.
