  • SpaceX Stock Falls Over 6% After Breaking Three-Day Winning Streak
    June 18, 2026, 10:58 AM EDT. SpaceX (SPCX) stock dropped more than 6% Thursday, ending a three-day winning streak since its recent public debut. The decline followed market pressure after Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh's comments on holding interest rates steady. Earlier this week, SpaceX briefly surpassed Amazon and Microsoft in market value, becoming the fifth-most-valuable stock. Retail investor enthusiasm remains strong, with SpaceX topping buying charts for three consecutive sessions, according to Vanda Research. The company's trading pattern now resembles that of high-growth 'Magnificent Seven' tech stocks. The stock's performance will be closely watched to assess if the retail-driven rally supports its rising valuation after a historic public launch.
