Jefferies Analyst Slams Simple-Minded Criticism of SpaceX Governance

Jefferies Analyst Calls Out ‘Simple-Minded’ Criticism of SpaceX’s Governance Investors who blacklist Space Exploration Technologies Corp. out of governance qualms are too hung up on box-checking and risk depriving themselves of long-term financial gains, according to Aniket Shah of Jefferies. “The idea that there’s an — in quotes — acceptable form of good governance” is one that “I highly question,” said Shah, who is the Wall Street investment bank’s global head of sustainability and transition strategy. “People who try to put governance into some kind of straight-jacket are too simple-minded and, frankly speaking, not looking at data.”
