SpaceX's $1.75 Trillion IPO Draws Strong Early Demand

Major banks are selling a long‑horizon AI and space infrastructure growth story as final pricing and allocations are set next week.

Overview

  • SpaceX launched a high‑profile investor roadshow in early June that included a JPMorgan event where CEO Jamie Dimon interviewed Elon Musk by remote video.
  • Underwriters led by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley assembled a 21‑bank syndicate and have staged prominent marketing displays to support the offering.
  • Banks shared multi‑decade forecasts that project trillions in future revenue driven largely by an AI unit and Starlink expansion, with Morgan Stanley projecting about $3.4 trillion in revenue by 2040.
  • Preliminary investor interest stood at roughly $150 billion, about twice the planned $75 billion raise, but that figure is an early indication and final pricing and allocations will be decided next week.
  • SpaceX's 2025 disclosures show $18.7 billion in revenue, a $4.9 billion loss, and $3.2 billion in AI revenue, highlighting the gap investors must accept between current results and the underwriters' long‑term projections.
