  • ARKX ETF Offers Affordable Exposure to SpaceX Amid High IPO Price
    June 17, 2026, 8:29 PM EDT. Following SpaceX's IPO surge to nearly $200, cautious investors may favor the ARK Space Exploration & Innovation ETF (ARKX), trading around $34. ARKX provides diversified exposure to the booming space economy valued at $439.1 billion in 2023 and expected to nearly double by 2035. While SpaceX's stock shows a lofty price-to-sales ratio of 130, the ETF offers a more tempered investment with a 0.75% expense ratio and SpaceX as its largest position at 7.2%. This makes ARKX a practical choice for those seeking to invest in space industry growth without the direct volatility of SpaceX's high valuation in its early trading days.
