The company is aiming to raise $75 billion, the most ever for an IPO, in a deal \u200bthat would value it at $1.75 trillion, immediately placing it among the top 10 most valuable U.S.-listed firms.<\/div><div>The company will kick off an investor roadshow on Thursday, with \u200bpricing expected on June 11; trading in shares will begin on the Nasdaq the next day.<\/div><div>Musk has rewritten the IPO playbook for \u2060SpaceX in many other ways, from planning to give retail investors a larger role in allocations to pushing for early index inclusion, and structuring governance to preserve strong founder \u200bcontrol.<\/div><div>&#8220;Nothing about this IPO is normal in any course or sense, but then again this is the largest IPO in history so maybe that is not surprising,&#8221; said an investor \u200bwho is planning on buying into the IPO.<\/div><h2>LEVERAGE OVER INVESTORS<\/h2><div>On Wall Street, there has been a rush to get a piece of the deal, given Musk\u2019s reputation and his control of an offering that stands to generate millions of dollars in fees &#8212; despite concern about the sky-high valuations that SpaceX will garner.<\/div><div>The prospective investor said there has been a sense that major firms are \u201cposturing\u201d by saying \u201cwe put the money in \u200bearly\u201d &#8212; a position that both reflects and reaffirms Musk\u2019s leverage over investors.<\/div><div>SpaceX lacks a clear public market benchmark, given the paucity of public space companies and the company&#8217;s interests \u200bacross aerospace, telecom and defense. The company posted a net loss of $4.94 billion in 2025, even as revenue rose 33% to $18.67 billion.<\/div><div>\u201cOn the face of it, a ~90x+ revenue multiple is high by any \u200cstandard,&#8221; said \u2060Tim Hatt, head of research and consulting at GSMA Intelligence, the research arm of global telecoms industry body GSMA. &#8220;But then again, SpaceX is not traditional in any way and there are no true public comparables.&#8221;<\/div><h2>TAKING IT ON THE ROAD<\/h2><div>The road show is where companies and their bankers typically sound out investors in order to arrive at a price range for their share sale. The process emphasizes bankers\u2019 relationships with potential investors and their understanding of the market for the coming offering.<\/div><div>After a series of testing-the-waters meetings with investors ahead of the \u200broadshow, SpaceX indicated it was looking for \u200ba valuation of about $1.75 trillion, while \u2060some investors sought $1.5 trillion or less.<\/div><div>An institutional investor who banks with Goldman Sachs said he tried to buy shares in the IPO, but was told SpaceX IPO allotments are a &#8220;David Solomon level decision,&#8221; referring to the firm&#8217;s CEO. The investor&#8217;s banker suggested he buy after \u200bthe company goes public.<\/div><div>Other aspects of the SpaceX offering stand out. Major international banks including Mizuho, Deutsche Bank, UBS, and Barclays \u200bhave been urged to focus \u2060on lining up wealthy individual buyers in their home countries. In the past, little attention was paid to individual investors, as bankers sought out feedback from large asset managers such as Fidelity Investments and powerful hedge funds such as Citadel.<\/div><div>Reuters previously reported that the company is considering allocating as much as 30% of the offering to individual investors, an unusually large retail tranche aimed \u2060at tapping \u200binto Musk&#8217;s cult-like following that would also broaden ownership of the company.<\/div><div>&#8220;Why would you own it? It&#8217;s because \u200bof the cachet that Elon Musk brings,&#8221; said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth in Fairfield, Connecticut, who said he isn&#8217;t buying the shares. &#8220;I&#8217;m interested in it as a sideshow.&#8221;<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Echo Wang\" class=\"wp-image-710\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/9601c2e7688d5373c2d47866f9afc8c9.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Echo Wang<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>X<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>Linkedin<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Milana Vinn\" class=\"wp-image-974\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/8e2ad5fb184cf62870e2472876590ff0.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Milana Vinn<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>X<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>Linkedin<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><\/div><\/div><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=973\">Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French author of graphic novel \u2018Persepolis\u2019, dies aged 56<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=970\">Putin faces rival visions of war and peace at Russia\u2019s \u2018Davos\u2019<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=968\">Exclusive: Satellite images show suspected structure at disputed South China Sea atoll, but later gone<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company\u2019s decision underscores Elon Musk\u2019s determination to raise record sums his way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":823,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[112,63,41],"class_list":["post-975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-capital-markets","tag-funds","tag-securities-enforcement"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
