Billion-Deal with Signal Effect

A U.S. telecommunications group sells its entire mobile spectrum to Elon Musk's space company SpaceX. The consideration: $8.5 billion in cash and company shares of SpaceX. This gives shareholders indirect access to one of the world's most valuable private companies, most recently valued at around $400 billion.

Satellite mobile communications directly to the cell phone

The spectrum is to be used for a global satellite mobile network. Users will be able to access satellites directly with their smartphones in the future, independent of existing networks. This opens up a billion-dollar market in which SpaceX could play a key role.

Financial U-turn at the Partner

For the US corporation itself, the deal means relief in the double-digit billion range. In total, around 40 billion dollars flow into the coffers, massively reducing the debt burden. Thus, a struggling company could become a growth-strong player.

New Perspective for Investors

The stock has already seen a significant price rally in 2025. However, with the SpaceX involvement, it gains a new strategic dimension: It not only makes the stock more interesting for existing shareholders, but also opens up potential for new investors in the medium term.
