SpaceX has experienced an extraordinary post-IPO rally, becoming one of the world's largest publicly traded companies. The company debuted on Nasdaq on June 12, 2026, at $135 per share and quickly surged above a $2 trillion valuation as investor demand exceeded expectations.
According to recent reports, SpaceX's market capitalization has fluctuated between roughly $2.5 trillion and nearly $3 trillion during its first several trading days, at times surpassing major companies such as Amazon and ranking among the world's five most valuable corporations.
Key figures
SpaceX $2.5–2.7 trillion
Tesla ~$1.53 trillion
Combined SpaceX + Tesla ~$4 trillion
Elon Musk net worth $1.3 trillion
These valuations have made Musk the first person in modern history whose wealth has surpassed the $1 trillion threshold.
Why investors are enthusiastic
Dominance in commercial launch services.
Rapid expansion of the Starlink satellite network.
Significant government and defense contracts.
AI-related businesses and integration with xAI.
Long-term expectations surrounding lunar and Mars infrastructure.
However, risks remain
The valuation is extremely high relative to current earnings.
SpaceX reportedly posted losses in 2025 despite strong revenue growth.
Heavy capital expenditures for rockets, AI infrastructure, and satellites could pressure profitability.
Some analysts warn that such rapid appreciation could lead to substantial volatility.
Overall, the first week of public trading has transformed SpaceX from the largest IPO in history into one of the most valuable companies on Earth, while simultaneously pushing Elon Musk's fortune above $1 trillion—a milestone few observers imagined possible a decade ago.
