SpaceX Stock Plunges 32% From Peak Amid Post-IPO Volatility, Thin Float
SPCX is trading near its 52-week low of $147.11 (5.5% above the low).
Summary
SpaceX stock has fallen 32% from its peak of $225.64 on June 16, now trading near $153. This significant volatility, which has handed early buyers sharp losses, is primarily due to a thin float, with only about 5% of total shares available for trading. The price action follows the company's record-setting IPO on June 12 at $135 per share, which saw a rapid surge in its initial trading days. Upcoming supply changes, including Fidelity allowing IPO buyers to sell from June 27 and other brokerages from July 12, could add further selling pressure. Conversely, the stock's expected entry into the Nasdaq-100 on July 7 could attract passive inflows.
At the time of this announcement, SPCX was trading at $155.15 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $2T. The 52-week trading range was $147.11 to $225.64.
