SpaceX’s $75B IPO Debut Sparks Volatility as Investors Eye Growth and Dilution
SpaceX completed the largest IPO in history, debuting on June 12 at a price of $135 per share. The offering raised approximately $75 billion and pushed the company’s public valuation into the low-trillion-dollar range.
The stock quickly surged to around $225 on strong early demand before pulling back to the mid-$150s. Traders attribute this volatility to a limited tradable float of roughly 4–5%, combined with significant retail investor participation.
Company filings indicate that SpaceX generated approximately $18.7 billion in revenue in 2025, while reporting a GAAP net loss in the low single-digit billions. Starlink accounts for the majority of current profits, while investments in AI and Starship continue to drive substantial losses and capital requirements.
Following the IPO, SpaceX has moved rapidly to raise additional debt and pursue mergers and acquisitions. This includes a reported all-stock deal valued at approximately $60 billion for Cursor/Anysphere, raising investor concerns around near-term dilution and financing.
Key near-term catalysts for the stock include potential rapid inclusion in major indexes, which would trigger passive fund buying; the company’s first public quarterly earnings report, which will initiate staged insider share unlocks; and the current analyst consensus price target of approximately $188.
