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

The offering raised $75 billion and drew unusually heavy retail demand, with shares opening at $150 and closing near $161.

  • On Friday, SpaceX began trading on the Nasdaq under ticker SPCX, opening at $150 per share and closing at $160.95, up 19%, while raising $75 billion in the largest initial public offering ever.
  • The offering valued CEO Elon Musk's rocket company at roughly $1.77 trillion, pushing Musk's net worth past $1 trillion and positioning him to become the world's first trillionaire.
  • SpaceX's $75 billion debut surpassed 10 historical IPOs ranked by proceeds, significantly exceeding the previous record of $25.6 billion raised by an Energy firm in December 2019.
  • Despite the record-breaking IPO, some analysts express skepticism regarding the $1.7 trillion valuation, citing that SpaceX has yet to generate profit and produced roughly $19 billion in revenue last year.
  • The public market anticipates additional sizable IPOs, including potential offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic, both of which have confidentially filed to go public.
