Extended read
SpaceX's breach of its IPO price marks a significant technical shift for the most anticipated listing of the year. While the Starship delay is a tactical setback, the underlying pressure appears to be a combination of an extreme $1.7 trillion valuation and the inherent volatility of a 4% public float. Historical data suggests that 80% of major IPOs decline in their first three months, and SpaceX is now following this trend as investors reassess the timeline for cash flow positivity, currently projected for 2035.
