Starlink
The world's largest satellite broadband network. Crossed 10.3M subscribers in Q1 2026, adding 750K–1.5M per month. The cash engine that anchors the valuation.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp. made its Nasdaq debut under SPCX on June 12, 2026 — priced at $135.00 on 555,555,555 Class A shares, a $75 billion raise and the largest IPO in history. The first month has been a round trip: a euphoric rally to an all-time high of $225.64 on June 16 (briefly a ~$3 trillion market cap), then a ~35% correction to an all-time low of $145.20 on July 8 amid the Colossus 2 data-center lawsuit that threatens SpaceX's $45 billion Anthropic compute contract. SPCX joined the Nasdaq-100 on July 7 and has stabilized near $153 — still +13% above the IPO price — ahead of its first earnings report, expected in early August.

Net loss FY2025: $4.9B — driven by $3B Starship R&D + xAI integration costs.
The world's largest satellite broadband network. Crossed 10.3M subscribers in Q1 2026, adding 750K–1.5M per month. The cash engine that anchors the valuation.
Reusable rocket dominance. Falcon 9 captured ~90% of global commercial launch share in 2025. Anchored by NASA, NRO, USSF, and commercial constellations.
Government-only constellation built on Starlink architecture. Classified payloads, secure comms, surveillance. Multi-billion contracts with NRO and DoD.
Starship targets first payload to orbit H2 2026. xAI (merged Feb 2026) provides Grok models and orbital AI data centers. The narrative engine of the IPO.
Any U.S. broker with Nasdaq access carries SPCX — Fidelity, Schwab, Robinhood, Interactive Brokers, E*TRADE. Most waive commissions on stock trades.
ACH transfer typically clears in 1–3 business days. Wire transfers settle same-day if you want cash ready sooner.
The textbook post-IPO retrace already happened — SPCX fell ~35% from its June 16 peak. The first earnings report (expected early August 2026) delivers the first SEC-filed quarter as a public company.
Use a limit order, not a market order. SPCX still swings several percent a day, and thin early-morning liquidity makes execution price critical.
The euphoria unwound fast. SPCX fell ~35% from its June 16 all-time high to a July 8 all-time low of $145.20, briefly trading below its $150 debut open — though still above the $135 IPO price. Shares rebounded to about $153 on July 9.
Nasdaq's fast-entry rules put SPCX into the index at a ~1.3% weight without removing an existing member. An estimated $4.3B of passive buying from QQQ and other trackers wasn't enough to offset the selling pressure that week.
A Clean Air Act suit over the gas turbines powering the Colossus 2 data center led to a shutdown that jeopardizes SpaceX's $45 billion compute contract with Anthropic. The S-1 disclosed a $399M litigation accrual; the July ruling hit the stock hard.
Big spending, bigger ambitions: $3B in Starship R&D in 2025 alone, plus $930M in Q1 2026. The losses are operational by design — payload delivery is meant to begin H2 2026.
The dual-class structure gives Class B shares 10× the voting power. Even at $75B raised, Musk retains majority voting power. Five board members ride along.
The bookrunner stack: Goldman Sachs (lead), Morgan Stanley (stabilization agent), Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan — plus 18 more, the largest syndicate ever assembled.
Starlink alone produced $11.4B in revenue and $4.4B in segment operating income. Growth holding at ~50% YoY despite the law of large numbers.
SpaceX absorbed xAI in February 2026 in an all-stock deal valuing the combined entity at $1.25T. Grok now runs Starlink network optimization; orbital AI data centers are the next bet.
Even after the 35% correction, SPCX trades near 107× trailing revenue at a ~$2.0T market cap — still among the largest U.S. companies and with no positive-revenue mega-cap comparable. Morningstar pegs fair value far lower, near $780B.
Yes. SPCX began trading June 12, 2026 on the Nasdaq after pricing its IPO at $135.00 on June 11, closing the first day at $161.11 — up 19.3%. The stock ran to an all-time high of $225.64 on June 16 — briefly a ~$3 trillion market cap — then corrected roughly 35%, hitting an all-time low of $145.20 on July 8 before rebounding to about $153. SPCX has been a member of the Nasdaq-100 since July 7, 2026.
SpaceX priced its IPO at $135.00 per share on 555.6 million Class A shares, a $75 billion raise valuing the company at roughly $1.77 trillion — the largest IPO in recorded history, surpassing Saudi Aramco's 2019 $29.4B listing. The stock briefly carried a ~$3 trillion market cap at the June 16 peak of $225.64, but after the ~35% correction the valuation sits near $2.0 trillion at the July 9 close of $153.15. Note that Morningstar values SpaceX far lower, near $780 billion.
Any U.S. broker with Nasdaq access can fill an order — use a limit order, not a market order, given the elevated post-IPO volatility. Since the July 7 Nasdaq-100 inclusion, index funds like QQQ also carry SPCX at a ~1.3% weight, and the Cambria ERShares Private Investments ETF (XOVR) remains a concentrated indirect route. See our step-by-step guide.
Even after the 35% correction, SPCX trades near 107× trailing revenue at a ~$2.0T market cap, and the company posted a $4.9B net loss in 2025. The bull case rests on Starlink unit economics, Starship reusability, and xAI optionality. The bear case is the multiple — Morningstar's fair value is near $780B — plus concentration risk in Musk and new legal risk around the Colossus 2 data center and the $45B Anthropic contract.

No. SpaceX uses a dual-class structure: Class A (public) gets 1 vote per share; Class B (insider) gets 10 votes per share. Musk and aligned insiders retain majority voting power regardless of the float size. This mirrors the structure used by Meta, Alphabet, and Snap.
Per the S-1 risk factors and events since listing: (1) Starship technical execution risk — payload delivery is targeted for H2 2026; (2) regulatory and legal risk — the Colossus 2 Clean Air Act lawsuit shut down the facility and threatens the $45B Anthropic compute contract; (3) customer concentration in U.S. government contracts; (4) Musk key-person risk; (5) xAI integration costs and unclear revenue contribution; (6) valuation risk at ~107× trailing revenue even after the July correction.
