SpaceX officially prices shares at $135 in the largest IPO ever

The offering drew more than $100 billion in retail orders and gives ordinary investors rare access through a 30% retail allocation.

  • On Thursday, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. set its final IPO price at $135, with trading beginning Friday at a valuation of $1.77 trillion, making it history's largest IPO.
  • Renaissance Capital strategist Matt Kennedy estimates SpaceX alone may raise more money than all U.S. IPOs in 2024 and 2025 combined, anchoring what he calls a "top-heavy" IPO boom.

  • Many secondary sales use "special purpose vehicles," or SPVs, which Rainmaker Securities CEO Glen Anderson said trade units rather than shares without requiring company approval, obscuring investor economics.
  • The upcoming IPO will unearth how many synthetic shareholders exist in SpaceX, potentially exposing the secondary market's true scale, after Morningstar analysts wrote last week the company is "overvalued.
