SpaceX Going Public Soon? Here's What You Need to Know
In a Nutshell
SpaceX has filed to go public on June 12, 2026, targeting a ~$1.25 trillion valuation despite generating $8.7B in revenue and $4.9B in losses. The IPO is backed by major banks and could see a short-term hype-driven rally, but the valuation at 90x sales is extreme compared to profitable peers like AMD. Long-term sustainability is questionable given ongoing losses and reliance on speculative future growth.

SpaceX has officially filed for its long-awaited IPO. The company plans to list under the Nasdaq ticker SPCX with a potential debut expected around June 12, 2026, just a few weeks from the time of the video. The filing follows a massive valuation milestone where earlier in 2026, SpaceX reached an estimated $1.25 trillion valuation after merging with XAI.
Tesla currently trades at $1.6 trillion market cap. The merger of SpaceX and XAI is estimated at $1.25 trillion. If the IPO proceeds as expected, Elon Musk could simultaneously lead two trillion-dollar public companies alongside Tesla. The offering is backed by major Wall Street firms including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Citigroup, indicating strong institutional demand ahead of pricing.
The first day and first few weeks of an IPO could see significant excitement making it potentially sensible to trade SpaceX. However, the question of whether it is a good investment depends on the price at opening and the resulting valuation. Markets are trading at an incredibly irrational rate. The most speculative stocks and valuations are likely to correct if markets begin to correct.
A common statistic shows that on IPO day, the average IPO is up 6-12%, but on average 90 days later, the stock is down from its IPO price. Big swings in prices are to be expected.
