SpaceX (SPCX.US) took center stage in the market on Tuesday as JPMorgan expressed a growingly optimistic outlook on the company's Grok artificial intelligence model and chatbot offerings, particularly after the completion of the Cursor acquisition.
JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth wrote in a note to clients that Cursor brings approximately $4 billion in annualized recurring revenue (ARR) as of June 2026, with roughly 75% coming from enterprise customers, which should streamline SpaceX's go-to-market strategy and provide valuable data for model training. He pointed out that Cursor's data has been integrated into Grok's auxiliary training, with tangible performance improvements already visible in recent models.
Anmuth maintains an "Overweight" rating on SpaceX with a price target of $240. He noted that the Cursor acquisition has already shown early results—Grok 4.6, released earlier this month, improved by five points on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index compared to Grok 4.5, with only a one-month gap between their respective launches.
Anmuth added that the combination of frontier intelligence with significantly lower costs relative to peers places Grok 4.6 on the Pareto frontier, which could support stronger adoption rates. SpaceX is leveraging these increasingly capable models to develop competitive agentic products, and the rollout of Grok Bot enables the company to better capture the vast enterprise-grade AI market opportunity.
Looking ahead, Anmuth expects SpaceX to continue accelerating the iteration speed and quality of its AI models, with Grok 5 anticipated for release by December. He further noted that while short-term AI revenue is primarily driven by premium compute transactions ranging from $30 to $50 per watt, he expects Grok's monetization capabilities—particularly on the enterprise side—to become an increasingly important growth engine over time.
