what happened

Elon Musk said on Tuesday that Tesla and SpaceX had set up committees to explore a possible merger. Seeking Alpha asked several of its analysts how much Tesla could be worth in such a deal.

Danil Sereda assumes Tesla shareholders would hold about 50% of a combined company valued at roughly $3.5 trillion. On that basis he gets a fair value of $443 per share, about 20% above the pre-market price on Thursday, October 22. Victor Dergunov thinks SpaceX would pay at least $420 to $500 per share, and $550 or more if the deal slips to mid-2027 and monetary policy eases.

Carla Magliocco believes news of a merger would lift Tesla shares, though the outcome depends on the terms. She points to 1.74 million active FSD subscribers, up 67% year over year, and to higher profitability in SpaceX's AI segment.

why it matters

For markets, the key question is the deal terms, including Tesla's ownership share and how SpaceX is valued. The committees have only been formed, analyst estimates differ widely, and the timeline could stretch if rates stay high.
