SpaceX is targeting a valuation of $1.8 trillion, which will be a record debut
SpaceX is expected to begin trading on the stock exchange on June 12, giving investors their first chance to own shares of Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite company.
According to Bloombergdemand for the offering has already exceeded the number of shares available, and SpaceX is seeking to raise about $75 billion at a valuation of at least $1.8 trillion. If that happens, the company’s listing would be the largest public offering in history, surpassing Saudi Aramco’s $29.4 billion deal in 2019, Bloomberg says.
The company’s growth story is largely tied to Starlink, its satellite Internet business, which has become a major source of revenue and profitability.
However, SpaceX’s capital-intensive rocket launch and space exploration operations continue to incur high costs, raising questions about how investors will value the company once it launches on the public market.
