SpaceX IPO Charges Wall Street Just 0.7% Fee on Record $75 Billion Deal
June 14, 2026, 6:02 PM EDT. SpaceX raised $75 billion in the largest IPO ever by money raised, paying only 0.7% in underwriting fees, around $500 million, among the lowest ever for such mega-deals. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley led the syndicate, each securing roughly $100 million. Despite the thin fee margin-well below the usual 1-7% spread-the offering attracted $350 billion in orders. The low fees mark a shift, yet banks coveted the prestige and potential future business linked to Elon Musk's ventures. The massive IPO, which valued SpaceX at over $1.77 trillion initially and closed above $2 trillion on debut, sets a new benchmark in capital markets. Analysts note the true gains for banks may come from trading, lending, and advisory work beyond upfront fees.
