SpaceX Prices $75 Billion IPO at $1.75 Trillion Ahead of Nasdaq Debut

The offering pairs a profitable Starlink business with loss-making AI and space ambitions and could reshape passive-fund flows because some index providers shortened fast-entry rules.

Overview

  • SpaceX will offer 555,555,555 shares at $135 each to raise about $75 billion with pricing expected June 11 and trading to begin June 12 under the ticker SPCX.
  • The company's 2025 results show roughly $18.7 billion in revenue and a $4.94 billion net loss, with Starlink driving most revenue and profit while the AI division reported large operating losses.
  • Index providers are split: Nasdaq and FTSE Russell eased fast-entry paths that could force quick, price-insensitive buying by index funds, while S&P refused to relax its profitability and seasoning rules.
  • SpaceX has signaled an unusually large retail push with up to roughly 30% of the offering aimed at individual investors and has used a 17-minute CFO video and wide brokerage participation to market the deal.
  • Underwriters have presented aggressive multi-decade revenue forecasts to justify the valuation but independent analysts have issued much lower fair-value estimates and critics warn governance that concentrates voting with Elon Musk raises owner-control and valuation risks.
