Week 24 of 52 SPCX The Most Important IPO of Our Generation?Space Exploration Technologies CorpBATS:SPCXRobert_V12SPCX is finally public, and the market is treating it exactly how you would expect: massive attention, huge volume, and immediate FOMO. SpaceX is not just another IPO. This is the company that turned reusable rockets from a crazy idea into one of the biggest technological advantages in the world. It built Starlink into the largest satellite internet network on the planet. It changed the economics of space launches. And now, it is finally trading in the public market. That is why the hype is real. SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 per share, raising a record $75 billion and reaching a valuation around $1.75 trillion. That makes this the largest IPO in history and immediately places SpaceX in the conversation with the biggest companies in the world. The numbers are incredible. In 2025, SpaceX reported approximately $18.67 billion in revenue, up 33% year over year. Starlink represented about 60% of total sales, supported by roughly 10.3 million users and around 9,600 satellites. That is not just a rocket company anymore. That is a launch business, a satellite internet business, a defense/space infrastructure business, and possibly one of the most ambitious AI/space platforms ever attempted. But here is the part investors need to respect: A historic company can still create a dangerous entry. After pricing near $135, the stock quickly moved into the $150–$170 opening range. That first IPO move can be driven by scarcity, media attention, retail demand, institutional positioning, and the Elon Musk premium. That is where FOMO becomes powerful — and where bad entries are often created. The first 1–2 months after a major IPO are usually not about “fair value.” They are about price discovery. Early buyers take profits. Traders sell the first pop. Institutions reassess valuation. Underwriters may use the greenshoe option to stabilize trading. And retail investors who chased the excitement often get tested once the headline momentum cools down. SpaceX’s IPO also includes a greenshoe option that could allow underwriters to buy up to 15% additional shares at the IPO price, which is commonly used to help manage early trading volatility. That is why my focus is not only on how incredible SpaceX is. My focus is on where the market eventually builds a base. SpaceX may become one of the most important public companies of the next decade. But even generational companies can go through a post-IPO cooling-off period before offering a cleaner long-term setup. For me, the lesson is simple: Do not confuse an incredible story with an automatic entry. Do not chase maximum excitement. Wait for structure. Wait for price discovery. Let the market show where real long-term demand is. SpaceX may be historic. But the smartest money usually does not buy the loudest moment.
