    SpaceX Stock Plummets 50% from Post-IPO High

    Question

    SpaceX Stock Plummets 50% from Post-IPO High

    Direct answer

    SpaceX's 50% decline from its post-IPO peak highlights the fragility of high-valuation tech in a tightening liquidity environment. The combination of technical factors (lock-ups) and fundamental setbacks (launch aborts) has triggered a rapid exit by early investors. Interestingly, AT&T has rallied 18% during this period, suggesting a rotation back to defensive incumbents as the 'disruptor' narrative for Starlink faces reality checks.
