SpaceX Shares Hit Record Low as Lock-Up and Earnings Tests Loom

A scheduled Aug. 6 release of about 911.5 million restricted shares threatens to swell supply; the Aug. 4 quarterly report will be used to judge funding and Starship progress.

Overview

  • SPCX fell to a fresh all-time low near $109–$113 on Tuesday after losing roughly 50% from its June peak and about 30% below its $150 IPO price, reflecting heavy selling in a very small public float.
  • Investors are focused on an Aug. 4 first public quarterly report that analysts say will reveal revenue, cash needs, and how heavily the company will rely on Starlink while it pursues Starship.
  • A large lock-up expiry on Aug. 6 could free roughly 911.5 million shares, equal to about 20% of restricted stock, which market participants warn could materially increase selling pressure.
  • Starship Flight 13 on July 24 successfully deployed 20 Starlink V3 satellites and relit an engine in orbit but suffered a hard Super Heavy booster splashdown after some landing engines failed to relight.
  • Trading flows show defensive positioning by investors, with elevated put-option premium and heavy short interest adding risk that supply shocks or weak earnings could push the stock lower.
