SpaceX Sets Record with $75 Billion IPO Priced at $135 Per Share

In a move reflecting the massive demand for the space technology sector, SpaceX confirmed the execution of the largest IPO in history by selling 555.6 million shares at $135 per share. The total IPO size reached $75 billion, positioning the company at the forefront of global public offerings. Gray-market trading and derivatives currently indicate significant optimism, with a potential surge of 30% to 50% expected once official trading commences.

This offering comes at a time of significant momentum in the aerospace and defense sectors, with SpaceX's implied market capitalization exceeding $1.77 trillion, placing it in direct competition with big-tech giants. Compared to traditional aerospace peers like Lockheed Martin and Boeing, SpaceX's valuation reflects investor confidence in the future of the space economy and AI. Per market data, this momentum has prompted firms like Tradr ETFs to plan the launch of leveraged single-stock ETFs to capture expected volatility.

Traders should watch June 15, 2026, as the expected launch date for leveraged bullish and bearish ETFs tied to the stock, which could amplify liquidity and price swings. Looking at the economic calendar, markets are also awaiting US retail sales data for its impact on broader risk appetite. The stock will be monitored against its initial pricing of $135 (IPO close June 12, 2026) as investors look for the first-day opening levels.
