    SpaceX Plummets 50% from IPO High; Lockup Expiry Looms Aug 6

    Question

    SpaceX Plummets 50% from IPO High; Lockup Expiry Looms Aug 6

    Direct answer

    The largest IPO in history is seeing a significant drawdown as the initial hype fades. SpaceX is now trading at half its peak value, with analysts warning of further downside as the company continues to burn cash on Starship and Starlink expansion. The August 6 lockup expiry is a critical liquidity event, as nearly a billion shares could hit the market, potentially overwhelming current demand.
