Overview
- SpaceX has confidentially filed for a U.S. IPO and is preparing a possible June Nasdaq debut that media reports say could raise up to $75 billion at a roughly $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion valuation, which would be the largest IPO on record.
- Coverage cites 2025 revenue estimates near $18.5 billion, driven mainly by Starlink’s satellite internet service with launches providing the rest, framing Starlink as the key anchor for the lofty valuation.
- The Information reported a loss of nearly $5 billion for 2025 after SpaceX folded in xAI’s costs, while Reuters earlier cited roughly $8 billion in EBITDA for 2025 and later said it could not independently verify the loss figures.
- Reports say up to 30% of IPO shares could go to retail buyers, far above the usual 5% to 10%, raising the chance of sharp swings if fans pile in or flip shares in early trading.
- Index and exchange rules may be bent for faster entry, with reports of a 15‑day path to the Nasdaq‑100 and potential quick adds to major benchmarks that could force passive funds to buy soon after listing.
- Indian investors can legally invest abroad up to $250,000 a year under the RBI’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme, yet IPO allocations are typically scarce for foreign retail buyers so most access would likely come after trading begins.
