  • SpaceX Stock Falls After IPO Surge Amid Controversy Concerns
    June 22, 2026, 2:33 PM EDT. SpaceX stock has dropped nearly 8% in a single day and is trading below $170, close to its IPO price from June 12, 2026. The company's shares surged to over $225 shortly after the public debut but declined following its $60 billion acquisition of AI coding firm Cursor. Investor confidence has been shaken by an MSCI ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) rating of one out of ten in the controversies category, implying serious corporate issues. The low ESG score has triggered an "orange flag," a warning signal about severe controversies, contributing to the recent stock slump after three consecutive days of decline since the acquisition announcement.
