SpaceX Set to Wipe Out $1 Trillion in Value as Shares Slide

The stock fell below its IPO price as investors reassessed valuations and a failed Starship launch raised concerns about future supply and timing.

  • On Friday, SpaceX shares tumbled, putting the rocket and artificial intelligence giant on track to wipe out more than $1 trillion in market value from its all-time high.
  • SpaceX aborted a Starship launch attempt on Thursday due to an engine issue, exacerbating declines from an intraday high of $225.64 on June 16 to $124 currently.
  • The company's market value dropped to $1.61 trillion after falling 6.9% on Friday, down sharply from the $2.64 trillion valuation at close on June 16.
  • SpaceX CEO Elon Musk saw his net worth slide to $797 billion on Friday as investors are de-risking positions and rethinking valuations amid eroding optimism.
  • An extended lock-up ends after SpaceX reports second-quarter results on August 6, potentially releasing about 1.37 billion shares, while the company has invested more than $15 billion in Starship development.
