SpaceX vaults past Microsoft and Amazon's market value as post IPO momentum builds
Shares jumped more than 14% as investors bet on limited float and future AI revenue, lifting SpaceX past Amazon and briefly above Microsoft.
- On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, SpaceX shares climbed more than 14 percent, lifting its valuation past Amazon and briefly above Microsoft to rank among the five most valuable companies globally.
- The company's initial public offering raised $85.7 billion after underwriters exercised the "greenshoe" option, though analysts warn that high valuations and limited float are driving speculative trading activity.
- Options trading for SPCX launched Tuesday with strikes ranging from $25 to $380, while index providers FTSE Russell and MSCI plan to add the stock to their indexes effective June 26 and June 29.
- SpaceX announced plans to acquire software company Anysphere for $60 billion, despite reporting a net loss of $4.94 billion last year as spending ramped up due to AI investments.
- Passive funds and ETFs tracking the Nasdaq 100 will soon increase demand for shares, though brokerage Zephirin Group notes that index inclusion alone is typically insufficient to drive sustained repricing.
