SpaceX Faces First Earnings Test With 911M Share Unlock Looming
SPCX is trading near its 52-week low of $108.66 (3.2% above the low).
Summary
SpaceX reports its first post-IPO earnings on August 4, with shares already 15% below the $135 offer price. Two days later, 911.5 million shares unlock, potentially flooding the market. A second 455.8 million-share tranche only unlocks if the stock closes 30% above the IPO price for five of the ten days ending on earnings—a threshold that looks unreachable at current levels. The combination of underwater IPO buyers and a massive unlock creates significant near-term overhang. The earnings report itself will be the first real look at SpaceX's financials as a public company.
Updates
· Benzinga — The unlock is now 930 million shares worth over $100 billion, with Morningstar expecting most eligible shares to hit the market. Options imply 196% volatility versus a 73% average, and consensus is $6.87 billion revenue with a $0.16 per-share loss.
· ShareCast — Analysts expect a Q2 loss per share on revenue of roughly $6.9 billion. The lock-up expires August 6, following the record $86 billion IPO in June.
