Rocket Report: Nova Moving Through Test Campaign; SpaceX IPO Launches Friday

Investor demand has topped $250 billion, and the offering will test whether Musk can justify a near-100x earnings multiple.

  • SpaceX debuts on Nasdaq today with a valuation of approximately $1.77 trillion, as investor demand topped $250 billion, exceeding the company's $75 billion target.
  • Analysts describe the IPO as a "referendum" on CEO Elon Musk, testing how much faith investors have in this individual entrepreneur and his ability to open new markets.
  • New Street Research analysts forecast the stock could reach $165 within 12 months, reflecting 22 percent upside, though SpaceX trades at nearly 100 times projected earnings versus roughly 10 times for Apple.
  • Investors weigh Musk's insistence on retaining an estimated 80-85% of voting rights; James Dow of London Business School urged caution, noting the valuation is "inevitably very tied up with him."
  • Starlink generated approximately $11.4 billion in revenue during 2025, accounting for 61% of SpaceX's total revenue, while development of Starship consumes about $3 billion annually.
