  • SpaceX Stock IPO: Potential Value of $1,000 Investment in Three Years
    June 18, 2026, 5:26 PM EDT. Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) saw its stock jump 19% and 20% in its first two trading days post-IPO on June 12 and 15. Historically, IPOs with over $100 million revenue and low float, like SpaceX, average a 32.4% first-day gain. However, according to IPO expert Jay Ritter, stocks bought at first-day closing prices tend to underperform the S&P 500 by 5.3 percentage points over three years. SpaceX trades at over 100 times sales despite 33% revenue growth in 2025, signaling a high valuation requiring flawless execution. While initial gains were strong, investors should weigh the risk of a potential pullback versus market performance over the next three years.
