The historic SpaceX initial public offering (IPO) has officially arrived on the Nasdaq, and it has already cemented its place as the largest stock market debut in history. For our Headway community, this means an unprecedented market opportunity. We are thrilled to announce that SpaceX shares are now officially available for trading on our platform.
The SpaceX debut by the numbers
The sheer scale of this public offering has rewritten Wall Street’s playbook. Initially targeted by the market with an estimated $1.75 trillion valuation, the massive investor demand immediately propelled the asset well beyond early expectations.
SpaceX raised a jaw-dropping $75 billion, making this the single largest IPO in world history – roughly three times the previous record set by Saudi Aramco in 2019. While the initial SpaceX price per share was set at a flat $135, intense buying pressure saw public trading open at $150 and climb as high as $176 during its first session.
After its first day of trading up over 19% at $160.95, the SpaceX market cap officially crossed the historic $2.1 trillion milestone. This massive surge simultaneously sealed Elon Musk’s status as the world’s first-ever trillionaire.
The enthusiasm didn’t stop on Friday. As the markets reopened on Monday morning, the SpaceX share price surged an additional 6% in premarket action, pushing the SpaceX price to hover right around the $170 threshold.
What is driving the massive SpaceX worth?
Many investors are looking closely at the SpaceX valuation history to understand if the company’s current multi-trillion-dollar scale is sustainable. While SpaceX built its reputation on revolutionary reusable rocket fleets and dominant orbital launch capabilities, the modern entity is far more complex.
Two core pillars are fueling the current SpaceX net worth:
1. The Starlink engine
According to the company’s regulatory filings, SpaceX generated $18.67 billion in total revenue last year. A massive 58% of that was driven directly by Starlink, its global satellite broadband mega-constellation. With high-speed internet active across more than 160 countries, Starlink provides the company with a highly predictable, rapidly scaling recurring subscription model.
2. The xAI integration
In a massive structural move earlier this year, Musk merged SpaceX with his artificial intelligence venture, xAI. This allows the company to uniquely pair its satellite footprint with massive computing power, including its ultra-dense data centers and the Grok AI model, with long-term plans to build out orbital, space-based AI data networks.
The analyst divide
Because this listing breaks the mold of a traditional public company, Wall Street analysts are deeply divided on whether the current Space X market cap is fundamentally justified. This polarization is exactly what creates exceptional conditions for active traders.
SpaceX reported a net loss of nearly $5 billion in 2025, driven by an incredibly aggressive capital expenditure strategy. In Q1 of this year alone, the company spent $10.1 billion (up from $4.1 billion in the same period last year), with the clear majority directed toward building out its AI infrastructure.
This high cash-burn rate has sparked a fascinating debate on the SpaceX current valuation:
With institutional price targets swinging wildly between $63 and $190, the market is facing a massive tug-of-war. For retail traders, this divergence translates directly into high liquidity, heavy trading volume, and substantial price volatility – the ideal environment for profitable trading.
