SpaceX Shares Fall Below IPO Price Amid Profit-Taking and Lockup Expiry Concerns
SpaceX shares fell below their $135 IPO price for the first time just over a month after the company’s record-breaking public debut, marking a notable shift in investor sentiment. The stock dipped as low as $132.15 amid profit-taking, valuation concerns, and anticipation of upcoming insider lockup expiries that could increase share supply. Despite the decline, SpaceX remains highly valued, supported by its Starlink service and government contracts, though its high revenue multiple and debt-funded AI investments raise caution among analysts and investors.
