Will the SpaceX IPO valuation meet or exceed the top end of the range, which is 2 TRILLION DOLLARS?
63% of users predicted NO — the community got this one right. 30 predictions cast.
SpaceX priced its initial public offering at $135 per share on June 3, 2026, assigning the company a valuation of approximately $1.77 trillion — roughly $230 billion below the $2 trillion upper bound the question required. The company plans to sell 555.6 million shares to raise a record $75 billion, with underwriters holding an option to purchase an additional 83.3 million shares that could lift total proceeds to approximately $86 billion. Trading is set to begin June 12 on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX.
At $1.77 trillion, SpaceX would rank as the seventh-largest publicly traded U.S. company by market capitalization at listing, placing it above Tesla. The company's commercial launch business and Starlink satellite internet network provided the revenue foundation for the high absolute valuation, but institutional investors and underwriters settled on a price that reflected both the company's recently disclosed financial losses and the substantial size of the offering itself.
Earlier secondary-market trades had implied valuations above $2 trillion, creating expectations that the formal IPO could reach that level. The roadshow process produced a more conservative number, consistent with how underwriters typically manage the pricing of very large offerings to ensure adequate demand coverage.
The community correctly anticipated the outcome: 63 percent voted NO.
