The long-awaited SpaceX IPO is now official, with the company filing its S-1 prospectus on Wednesday. The filing outlines plans for a Nasdaq listing on June 12 under the ticker 'SPCX', setting the stage for a landmark capital markets event. The scale of the offering is immense, with a targeted valuation in the range of $1.75 to $2.0 trillion and a potential capital raise of up to $75 billion. This would make it one of the largest IPOs on record. Interestingly, the prospectus heavily emphasizes the company's ambitions beyond rockets and satellites. SpaceX claims a total addressable market of $28.5 trillion, with the vast majority ($26.5 trillion) attributed to artificial intelligence and enterprise applications, signaling a strategic pivot to compete with big tech.
