The decline comes just over a month after SpaceX’s record-breaking IPO, which initially valued the company at $2.1 trillion and briefly made Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire. The stock had skyrocketed more than 50% in its first days of trading but has since faced volatility due to investor concerns over debt-funded AI spending and potential Federal Reserve rate hikes.
The company raised a total of $86 billion after underwriters exercised their right to sell additional shares, on top of the $75 billion initially raised. SpaceX’s market capitalization remains around $1.8 trillion despite the recent decline. The stock is valued at 49 times expected revenue following the selloff, still one of Wall Street's priciest stocks by that measure.
Investor focus will shift to SpaceX’s first earnings report after listing, expected in early August. After this report, the first phase of the IPO lock-up period is set to expire, allowing eligible employees and some early shareholders to begin selling portions of their holdings. This event could further weigh on the stock as additional shares become available for trading.
Analysts remain divided on SpaceX’s future prospects. Bullish analysts highlight the company's profitable Starlink internet service and its government rocket launch business, while others caution about its high valuation and untested ambitions. The upcoming Starship test flight is also critical as it could lower launch costs and enable many of SpaceX’s long-term projects.
