Sign InGoldman Sachs has been selected as the lead global coordinator for the highly anticipated SpaceX initial public offering, according to analyst reports. Morgan Stanley is set to serve as the stabilization agent and will manage retail investor allocations through digital trading platforms. The fee pool for the participating banks in this landmark listing is expected to range from $800 million to over $1 billion.
This mandate arrives as major investment banks solidify their recovery in the IPO market. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley continue to compete with peers like JPMorgan Chase (JPM), which has also shown robust investment banking revenue growth per market data. The strategic involvement of Morgan Stanley highlights a push to leverage its E-Trade unit for broad retail distribution, while the projected $1 billion fee pool underscores the historic scale of the SpaceX valuation.
