SpaceX is preparing for a record-breaking IPO, targeting a valuation of up to $2 trillion and aiming to raise $75 billion.
The company recently merged with xAI, integrating AI and satellite infrastructure, and plans to offer up to 30% of shares to retail investors.
Analysts warn the high valuation—over 100 times sales—could pose risks, especially as index funds may be forced to buy in soon after listing.

SpaceX’s Historic IPO Set to Raise $50-$75 Billion Amid Governance and Valuation Concerns
Overview
SpaceX is preparing for a historic IPO in summer 2026, aiming to raise $50 billion to $75 billion with a valuation between $1.75 trillion and $2 trillion, driven by the success of its Starlink satellite business and the recent merger with AI company xAI. Starlink, now SpaceX's main revenue source with 10 million users and $11.4 billion revenue in 2025, supports this high valuation, though xAI's significant losses raise skepticism. The IPO will feature a dual-class share structure giving Elon Musk overwhelming control, limiting shareholder influence and raising governance concerns. With up to 30% of shares allocated to retail investors and potential early inclusion in major indices, the offering could cause market volatility and reshape investor strategies.
