SpaceX Opens IPO Shares to Retail Investors via 3 Brokerages as Demand Builds for SPCX
12 articles · Updated · CNBC · May 21
SpaceX said part of its IPO will be sold directly to retail investors through Robinhood, Fidelity and Charles Schwab, letting them buy at the same IPO price and time as institutions.
The prospectus marks a break from the usual IPO process, where small investors often get little allocation and must buy only after trading starts, sometimes at higher prices.
Access will still depend on each brokerage's rules, and allocations may be tight because demand for the offering could far exceed the shares available.
SpaceX, founded in 2002, unveiled plans this week to list on Nasdaq under ticker SPCX after a confidential April filing, with a roadshow expected to begin June 8.
