SpaceX Achieves Historic Largest IPO with 20% First-Day Surge
- Historic IPO: SpaceX went public on June 12 at $135 per share, achieving an initial market value of $1.8 trillion, making it the largest IPO in history, with a first-day stock surge of over 20%, pushing its valuation above $2 trillion, indicating strong market expectations for its future potential.
- First-Year Performance Risk: Historical data suggests that large IPOs typically underperform in their first year, with SpaceX's stock potentially declining by 50%, implying that a $10,000 investment could drop to about $4,000 by 2027, reflecting concerns over its high valuation.
- Valuation Warning: With a current market value of $2.2 trillion and sales of $19.3 billion, SpaceX's stock trades at an exorbitant valuation of approximately 115 times sales, significantly higher than Palantir's 59 times, indicating that such a premium is unsustainable and could lead to future price corrections.
- Market Prospects and Challenges: While SpaceX has unique advantages in building orbital AI data centers, its high valuation and the general caution surrounding large IPOs create uncertainty regarding its future growth, necessitating careful risk-reward assessments by investors.
