Details are emerging about the planned Initial Public Offering for SpaceX, one of the most anticipated market debuts in years. The company is reportedly targeting a valuation of $1.75 trillion, which would place it among the largest companies in the world. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have been named as lead underwriters for the deal. In a notable move, SpaceX plans to allocate up to 30% of its IPO shares to retail investors, utilizing platforms such as Robinhood and SoFi. This strategy could broaden the investor base but also introduces a different dynamic compared to traditional institutional-heavy IPOs. Investor Ross Gerber endorsed the timing of the IPO following a successful Starship test launch. However, other analysts, like Gary Black, have raised concerns about the lofty valuation. While Black predicts an initial price surge driven by a low float and eventual inclusion in major indices like the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500, he questions the sustainability of a valuation at a 300x EBITDA multiple.
