Ipo Details
SpaceX has recorded a blockbuster debut at Wall Street with a $75 billion IPO at $135 a share [1]. The sale breaks the previous record for the largest-ever IPO held by state-run oil giant Saudi Aramco [1]. Elon Musk's company is selling 555.6 shares at $135 a piece, raising $75 billion in the largest IPO on record [3].
Market Impact
The recent pull-back in the stock market has been reframed as an opportunity by Wall Street Strategist Emily Roland [2]. She stated that the market has been on a momentum freight train since the market lows back in late March, and the recent selloff is not overly surprising [2]. The SPY index may be due for a rebound, making it a “buyer’s dream” [2].
Valuation
SpaceX is valued at $1.77 trillion after the record-setting IPO [4]. The company's valuation is driven by growth from its Starlink division [4]. The IPO has raised $75 billion, with TSLA likely to be impacted by the news.
