Elon Musk’s SpaceX eyes $1.77tn valuation ahead of historic IPO

SpaceX has filed for an initial public offering on the Nasdaq exchange, targeting a $1.77 trillion valuation and aiming to raise $75 billion through a June 12 debut.

Key Points

  • SpaceX plans to sell 555.6 million shares at a fixed price of $135 per share.
  • The company reported a $4.9 billion net loss on $18.7 billion in revenue for 2025.
  • Elon Musk will retain 82% of voting rights through a dual-class stock structure.
  • Shares are scheduled to begin trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange starting June 12.
  • The valuation would make SpaceX the world’s seventh-largest company, surpassing Tesla and Meta.

Why it Matters

This IPO represents a significant test of investor appetite for high-growth, loss-making companies driven by long-term technological ambition rather than current profitability. The listing sets a major precedent for upcoming public debuts from other high-profile AI and aerospace firms, potentially reshaping market valuations across the technology sector.
