How to Buy SpaceX Stock (SPCX): IPO Date, Valuation, and the 3 Best Platforms

1 month ago 17

When Is the SpaceX IPO and What's the Valuation?

After more than two decades as the world's most closely watched private company, SpaceX is going public. The stock begins trading on the Nasdaq on June 12, 2026, under the ticker SPCX, with 555.56 million Class A shares offered at a targeted IPO price of $135. SpaceX set that fixed price of $135 per share, putting the valuation at roughly $1.77 trillion — which would make Elon Musk's firm the seventh-biggest company in the U.S., ahead of Tesla.

The scale is unprecedented. The offering aims to raise about $75 billion, with underwriters holding a 30-day option to buy up to an additional 83.3 million shares at the IPO price. By deal size, that makes it the largest IPO in market history — comfortably topping Saudi Aramco's 2019 record.

One detail makes this IPO unusually accessible. SpaceX set aside about 30% of its public shares for everyday retail investors instead of the usual 5% to 10% — which is why brokerage apps suddenly have a "request shares" button for a company that stayed private for 24 years.
