SpaceX prepares the largest IPO in history: when will it go on the stock market
SpaceX has a debut date to go public, with a record IPO of $75 billion. We tell you the share price, ticker and more
Wall Street is about to experience one of the most important financial events in recent years. SpaceX, the space company founded by Elon Musk, plans to debut on the stock market this Friday, June 12, 2026 with an initial public offering (IPO) that could become the largest in history.
The company seeks to raise around $75 billion by selling 555.6 million shares at a price of $135 each. If the operation is completed under these terms, SpaceX would reach a valuation close to $1.75 billion, a figure that would place it among the most valuable companies in the world.
Additionally, the company plans to list on the Nasdaq index under the stock symbol SPCX.
What is an IPO and why is everyone talking about SpaceX?
An initial public offering is the process by which a private company begins selling shares to the public for the first time. In simple terms, it means that any investor with access to the stock market can buy a share of the company.
What makes SpaceX different is the size of the operation. The potential $75 billion raise far exceeds the largest public offerings ever and could mark the return of mega-IPOs after several years of subdued activity on Wall Street.
Another unusual aspect is that the company decided to establish a fixed price of $135 per share from the beginning, instead of using the traditional procedure in which the final value is adjusted as investor demand progresses.
Why is SpaceX worth so much money?
The valuation is not based solely on rocket launches, the company's main financial engine is Starlink, its global satellite internet network.
According to documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), SpaceX recorded revenues of $18,674 million during 2025, a growth of 33% compared to the previous year.
However, it is not all good news. The same documentation shows that the company closed 2025 with net losses close to $4,937 million, reflecting strong investments in projects such as Starship, artificial intelligence and future space infrastructure.
The company is also betting some of its future growth on businesses that are still in development, such as data centers for artificial intelligence in orbit and future commercial missions beyond Earth.
What a small investor should look at before debut
For those who follow the market from the United States or Latin America, it is important to understand that an IPO does not guarantee immediate profits. According to some stock market investment specialists, one of the factors that usually generate volatility is initial enthusiasm. In the case of SpaceX, Reuters reported that the preliminary demand would have exceeded $250 billion, more than three times the size of the offer.
In addition, the company maintains a share structure that gives Elon Musk extensive control over the company's strategic decisions.
Investors should also pay attention to basic aspects such as income, losses, debt level, dependence on future projects and the volatility that stocks usually experience during their first days of trading.
According to CNBC, SpaceX also plans to allocate an unusually high proportion of shares to retail investors, which could increase general public interest in the stock market debut.
The debut of SpaceX on the stock market will not only test the market's confidence in Elon Musk. It will also serve to measure how much investors are willing to pay for companies that promise to dominate technological sectors that are still under construction.
Therefore, before making any financial decision, it is advisable to review the risks, understand the business model and remember that the initial performance of a stock does not always reflect its real long-term value.
