On Tuesday, June 23, shares briefly fell below their opening price before rebounding to close up 6% at $164.30 after earlier dropping as low as $147.11 amid a broader Nasdaq selloff. The tech sector decline extended to other major players, with Alphabet dropping 6%, Amazon.com losing 4.8%, and Nvidia falling 3.4%. According to Reuters, the Nasdaq 100 index was on pace to erase more than $1 trillion in market value.
Analysts note that SpaceX's stock volatility is typical for a company in its first weeks of trading post-IPO. The high valuation—currently at a price-to-revenue ratio of about 141 times 2025 revenue—has not deterred buyers, but options-market activity has grown more defensive. Investors are now demanding more evidence that unprecedented spending on AI will translate into profits.
The company announced a senior unsecured notes offering and disclosed having $100.8 billion in cash reserves as of June 19. According to CNBC, SpaceX is looking to raise $25 billion through this bond sale, which is expected to kick off as early as Tuesday. The proceeds will be used to pay off bridge financing and for other general corporate purposes.
SpaceX has signed a major computing power agreement with Reflection AI, making the open-source artificial intelligence startup the latest outside company to tap Elon Musk's Colossus infrastructure. Under the agreement, Reflection will get immediate access to Nvidia GB300s, top-of-the-line AI chips used to train and run advanced models, and has agreed to pay SpaceX $150 million per month beginning July 1, 2026, through 2029.
Investors' focus will be on post-IPO normalization and any new company-specific developments, as well as macroeconomic data that could signal future Fed policy moves. SpaceX's addition to major indexes and the start of research coverage by major investment banks are likely to fuel more buying, while the expiration of share lockups could drive potential selling.
