SpaceX & Orbital Internet
Launch, Starlink, satellites, defence-space and orbital infrastructure
The thesis
With SpaceX now public, space becomes a flagship theme: launch cadence, satellite broadband, earth observation, defence-space and the Indian space-industrial base scaling together.
Why it matters now
Reuters reported SpaceX priced a record IPO in June 2026 and moved quickly into index-inclusion discussions — so SPCX is still a fresh listing to judge, anchoring a broader orbital-infrastructure basket.
