Elon Musk’s SpaceX plans to go public between mid-to-late 2026, aiming to raise $30 billion. If successful, SpaceX eyes record status as the largest IPO ever, surpassing Saudi Aramco’s 2019 listing, which raised $29 billion.
Previously, SpaceX had considered spinning off its Starlink division for an IPO but retained the core company privately. The Bloomberg report confirms that SpaceX eyes record growth and global market influence through this public offering.
The Wall Street Journal reported that SpaceX recently completed a secondary share sale for employees, initially valuing the company at approximately $800 billion. After the sale, the valuation surged, strengthening confidence that SpaceX eyes record financial milestones in the coming years. Employees sold around $2 billion worth of shares at $420 each, reflecting optimism about the company’s future prospects.
Investors are particularly encouraged by the Starlink satellite internet network, which has become a significant revenue source. In addition, the Starship rocket program continues rapid development, supporting NASA’s Artemis moon missions and Elon Musk’s long-term plans for Mars exploration.
Market analysts say the IPO would not only raise capital but also attract global attention, further solidifying SpaceX’s position in the aerospace industry. The company’s dual focus on satellite communications and rocket innovation positions it for sustained growth and profitability.
If the IPO succeeds, SpaceX will set a new benchmark in global financial history, highlighting the increasing value of private aerospace companies. This move also demonstrates the market’s confidence in SpaceX’s technology, leadership, and long-term vision for space exploration.
With the public listing on the horizon, SpaceX eyes record participation from investors worldwide, signaling a transformative moment for the company and the commercial space sector.
