SpaceX Aims for June Nasdaq Listing, Potential Largest Public Debut in History
SpaceX Prepares for Blockbuster Stock Market Debut
Elon Musk's rocket and satellite company SpaceX is reportedly gearing up for a highly anticipated stock market debut on the Nasdaq exchange, potentially making it the biggest Initial Public Offering (IPO) in history. According to sources cited by Reuters, the company is accelerating its listing timeline, with plans to publicly file its prospectus as early as next week.
The revised schedule moves up SpaceX's IPO plans by several weeks, with a roadshow for investors expected to begin on June 4 and the actual share sale potentially happening around June 11. This pace is partly driven by a quicker-than-expected review of SpaceX's paperwork by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The IPO is expected to be a defining moment for the global public markets, which have shown signs of recovery in 2026 after years of volatility triggered by tariff uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and slowing investor appetite for tech listings. Reuters had earlier reported that SpaceX was leaning toward Nasdaq in hopes of securing faster inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 index, marking a major win for the exchange over rival New York Stock Exchange amid growing competition for marquee tech offerings.

SpaceX is reportedly targeting a raise of roughly $75 billion at a valuation of about $1.75 trillion. If achieved, the offering would surpass previous IPO records by a wide margin, with a valuation significantly higher than the $1.25 trillion combined valuation assigned earlier this year when SpaceX merged with Musk's AI startup xAI.
The offering is being led by major Wall Street banks, including Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Goldman Sachs, alongside several other firms handling institutional, retail, and international distribution.
