SpaceX shares end the day up 19% near $161 a share, sending its value past $2 trillion

SpaceX's record IPO aims to fund ambitious growth, including deploying 100,000+ satellites and building AI data centers in space.

  • SpaceX completed its historic first day of public trading up 19.2%, with shares closing at $160.95 on the Nasdaq exchange.
  • The final closing price pushed SpaceX's market value to $2.11 trillion, cementing its place as the sixth-largest publicly traded company in the United States.
  • The stock experienced a remarkably steady debut session, opening at $150 per share before fluctuating between $150 and $168, ultimately settling just above the $161 threshold.
  • The first-day surge solidly validates Elon Musk's new status as the world's first trillionaire, locking in his paper net worth at an estimated $1.1 trillion based on his massive 42% economic stake in the aerospace firm alongside his Tesla holdings.
  • Wall Street heavily backed the record-breaking $75 billion launch despite the company's notable capital expenditures, as institutional and retail investors aggressively bet on the long-term profitability of Starlink satellite internet, orbital data centers, and deep-space infrastructure.
