About SpaceX
SpaceX is Elon Musk's rocket and satellite company, and today it became the biggest stock market debut in history. Think of it as three businesses in one: Starlink satellite internet serving over 10 million customers, the rockets that launch it all, and the xAI artificial intelligence arm behind Grok. It listed at 135 dollars a share, valuing the company around 1.8 trillion dollars.
The case for and against
Both sides of the story, in plain English.
- Starlink Money Machine
Starlink generated 11.4 billion dollars in revenue last year and over 4 billion dollars in operating profit, with subscribers more than doubling to 10.3 million across 164 countries. It rides on SpaceX's own rockets, a cost advantage no competitor can copy.
- Index Fast Track
Falcon 9 handles roughly 90 percent of the world's commercial rocket launches, with 165 flights last year. And Nasdaq's new fast-track rules mean SpaceX could join the Nasdaq 100 index within weeks, forcing index funds to buy billions of dollars of the stock.
- Priced For Perfection
At roughly 1.8 trillion dollars, SpaceX trades at about 94 times its revenue, and the company lost 4.9 billion dollars last year. The AI buildout burns enormous cash, including a 20 billion dollar loan that must be repaid within six months of the IPO.
- Musk Holds The Keys
Elon Musk controls over 80 percent of the voting power, so regular shareholders have almost no say. The biggest IPOs in history also have a rough track record, often spending years below their debut price.
