SpaceX is on the verge of dropping the biggest IPO in human history—and it’s about to expose just how overvalued the rest of the space sector really is. 🌌
The company has confidentially filed with the SEC, targeting a listing as early as June 2026—and aiming to raise a staggering $75 billion. That’s more than three times the size of the largest U.S. IPO ever. 💰
Let’s put that in perspective:
Alibaba raised $22B (2014) – largest U.S. IPO at the time.
Saudi Aramco raised $29B (2019) – largest globally.
SpaceX is targeting more than double both. 🤯
But here’s what separates this from every hype-driven IPO before it:
SpaceX already posted $8 billion in profit on $15–16 billion in revenue last year—mostly from Starlink. This isn’t a promise. It’s a profit machine, running at massive scale. ✅
At a $1.75 trillion valuation, SpaceX trades at 110x revenue. Now compare that to its unprofitable rivals:
📡 AST SpaceMobile: 452x revenue (pre-profit)
🚀 Rocket Lab: 62x revenue (pre-profit)
Both still rely on SpaceX for launches. Irony much? 🎯
When the most profitable company in the sector lists at a lower multiple than its speculative peers, something’s gotta give. Either SpaceX re-rates higher, or everyone else crashes back to Earth. History suggests it’s the latter. 📉
Now here’s the risk no one’s talking about loudly enough:
🧠 xAI was merged into SpaceX in February and is burning $1 billion a month. The entire IPO thesis hinges on Starlink’s margins carrying xAI’s losses long enough for orbital AI data centers to become real. That’s a massive bet hidden inside a "simple space company" listing.
Also in the mix:
🛰️ Starlink: 10M+ subscribers
🏛️ $24B in U.S. defense contracts
🐦 X (the social network)
📊 A 30% retail allocation (3x the Wall Street norm) – Elon is deliberately turning his fan base into shareholders.
One more kicker:
Nasdaq changed its rules so SpaceX can join the Nasdaq 100 within 15 days of listing. That triggers billions in forced buying from index funds. Automatically. 💥
This is the most consequential IPO since Facebook in 2012—except this one is already printing money. 🖨️💵
