SpaceX priced its initial public offering at $135 per share, targeting a $75 billion to $80 billion capital raise ahead of its June 12, 2026 Nasdaq debut. If successful, this would become the largest IPO in history, far surpassing the previous record set by Saudi Aramco in 2020.
Quick Facts
- IPO price: $135 per share, with pricing set for June 11, 2026
- Target raise: $75 billion to $80 billion in fresh capital
- Expected valuation: $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion
- Underwriters: Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley leading the syndicate
Record-Breaking Scale and Market Impact
The SpaceX IPO would shatter the previous record for largest initial public offering. Saudi Aramco’s 2020 offering, the current record holder, raised just $29.4 billion—less than half the midpoint of SpaceX’s target range. At the $135 per share pricing, SpaceX would reach a valuation in the $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion range, placing it among the world’s most valuable public companies. The company filed its prospectus in May 2026, with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley leading the underwriting syndicate. The roadshow began June 4, with pricing scheduled for June 11 ahead of the Nasdaq listing.
SpaceX’s Business and Why It Matters
The company operates the world-leading Starship rocket system and the Starlink satellite constellation, both central to plans for lunar missions, Mars colonization, and global internet coverage. By going public, SpaceX gives retail and institutional investors their first chance to own shares in a company reshaping commercial space exploration. The IPO filing revealed detailed financial results for the first time, showing the company’s path to profitability and the scope of its government contracts. The move represents a generational moment for both capital markets and the commercial space industry, with investors gaining exposure to one of the world’s most valuable private companies.

Valuation Debate and Market Positioning
The $1.75 trillion-plus valuation has already sparked discussion among analysts. Some argue the range overvalues the company relative to near-term cash flows, while others contend that SpaceX’s monopolistic position in reusable launch vehicles and its substantial government contracts justify the premium. Market momentum is working in SpaceX’s favor: investors are rotating capital toward major IPOs and artificial intelligence stocks, creating strong demand for blockbuster listings. The timing comes as the company accelerated its public debut timeline, with the compressed schedule from May filing to mid-June listing reflecting confidence in market appetite. Regardless of valuation arguments, the June 12 IPO is poised to reshape capital markets and establish SpaceX as a cornerstone holding for growth-focused portfolios.
