SpaceX COO Files to Sell $52M in Shares as Lockup Expiration Looms
SPCX sits 42% above its 52-week low of $104.83.
Summary
President and COO Gwynne Shotwell filed to sell 342,170 shares worth about $52 million, adding to supply overhang as a post-IPO lockup expires Thursday, releasing up to 328.4 million shares. The stock fell 4.11% to $148.36 on Wednesday amid a broader selloff in high-growth tech as the 10-year Treasury yield hit a 19-year high. This follows the company's first quarterly report in August, which showed strong revenue growth but significant net losses and heavy capital spending. The combination of insider selling, lockup supply, and rising rates pressures the stock near-term. Watch for actual insider sale executions and any additional Form 144 filings in the coming days.
