Momentum appears to be building for a public offering from SpaceX. Following a successful test flight of its next-generation Starship rocket, prominent investor Ross Gerber publicly endorsed the timing for an IPO, adding to market speculation. An IPO for the private space exploration company, valued in private markets at a reported $1.75 trillion, would be one of the largest in history. Details on the structure of the potential deal are also emerging. Wall Street heavyweights Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have been named as the lead underwriters, indicating that preparations are likely well underway. This would be a significant fee event for both banks. In a departure from traditional IPO structures, SpaceX is reportedly planning to allocate a substantial portion of the deal, up to 30%, to retail investors. This access would be facilitated through popular trading platforms like Robinhood and SoFi, suggesting a strategy to generate broad public participation and support for the stock.
