Summary

  • $1,000 invested at SpaceX’s $135 IPO price on June 11 would be worth about $1,076 after 30 days, based on a $145.30 close.
  • Shares swung sharply after the listing: SpaceX opened near $150, closed its first day around $161, then climbed to roughly $225 before retreating on broader market weakness and profit-taking.
  • $1,000 invested at that first-day close would now be worth about $902, showing how buyers who chased the early rally have fallen nearly 10%.
  • SpaceX raised about $75 billion in the largest IPO on record, debuting at a roughly $1.77 trillion valuation that briefly topped $2 trillion.
  • Investor focus now rests on Falcon launches, Starlink growth and Starship execution, with first public-company earnings later this year seen as a key test of its valuation.
