Sign InIn a historic milestone for the commercial space industry, SpaceX achieved a market valuation exceeding $2 trillion after its shares soared 29% in their Nasdaq debut under the ticker SPCX. According to reports, the IPO was priced at $75 billion, initially valuing Elon Musk's firm at $1.77 trillion before the market open. The transition to a public entity is designed to capitalize on the company's massive scale and secure funding for ambitious future aerospace projects.
This meteoric rise places SpaceX in an elite tier of global technology giants, with a valuation now dwarfing traditional aerospace peers like Lockheed Martin at $115 billion and Northrop Grumman at $68 billion per market data. Comparing this debut to recent high-growth tech listings, the 29% surge underscores intense investor appetite for the company's near-monopoly on satellite launch services and deep-space exploration capabilities.
Investors will now watch if the stock can sustain its momentum above the $2 trillion valuation mark, particularly with U.S. Inflation Rate (CPI) data due on June 10, 2026, which may influence growth-stock volatility. Market participants are also awaiting details on how the $75 billion in IPO proceeds will be deployed to accelerate the Starship program. SPCX shares closed their first session up 29% from the IPO price (as of June 12, 2026).
Update: New data confirms the SpaceX IPO price was set at $135 per share. In secondary markets, perpetual futures on Hyperliquid are trading at approximately $162, a 20% premium over the IPO price, though this remains below the peak levels of $220 reached in May.
Update: Options trading for SpaceX (SPCX) is expected to debut on the Nasdaq as early as next Tuesday. Analysts anticipate this move will drive heavy trading volume and heightened price volatility for the stock in the coming sessions.
Update: SpaceX's 11% rally has solidified its position as the largest IPO in history, potentially triggering a wave of mega-offerings from AI leaders like OpenAI and Anthropic. Amidst this momentum, reports surfaced regarding earlier calls for the SEC to delay the listing due to concerns over market integrity and investor protection.
