In a theoretical way. It sort of means advancing an idea or theory and waiting to see if it is proved right. You talk speculatively about a future plan, you have speculative theories in sciences, most market trading around the price of goods is called "speculating".

It is sometimes used in place of "guess" or to indicate some is 'floating an idea' like asking a question phrased as a statement.

ie "We could go for a coffee, she said speculatively"
