SpaceX will go public on Friday, making it the largest initial public offering (IPO) ever. The company, led by Elon Musk, is likely to raise $75 billion and has a valuation of $1.75 trillion. SpaceX has set its share price at $135, not following the usual process to find a fair price for investors.
Big banks like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America are supporting the offering. They have organised events to sell shares to wealthy individuals and regular investors. JPMorgan Chase’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, hosted one of these events.
However, SpaceX will face challenges when it enters the market. The financial market is currently high, and many tech stocks have fallen. SpaceX has a high price-to-sales ratio, suggesting its value might not match its earnings. The company’s revenue growth has slowed, with a 15% increase to $4.7 billion this year, and it has posted losses after a merger.
Experts think the stock may drop significantly after going public due to high expectations and current market conditions. Many believe long-term success will depend on SpaceX’s ability to innovate and generate profit in the future.
