SpaceX IPO: Futures Signal 19% First-Day Pop, High Valuation Poses Long-Term Risk
Summary
Barrons.com analyzes the expected first-day trading performance of the upcoming SpaceX IPO, which is priced at $135 per share and aims to raise $75 billion. Hyperliquid futures trading suggests a 19% first-day "pop," with shares trading around $160, falling within the historically normal 10-30% range for IPOs. However, the article notes that SpaceX's valuation at 100 times 2025 sales and 40-50 times 2026 sales is expensive, and high price-to-sales IPOs historically underperform over three years. The IPO is expected to begin trading on Nasdaq this Friday, June 12.
