![Retail investors received about 20% of the allocation, far more than the typical IPO, with some even celebrating an allocation of one share. SpaceX executives, including President Gwynne Shotwell and Chief Financial Officer Bret Johnsen, celebrated at the Nasdaq market site in New York's Times Square after ringing the opening bell on Friday. Musk held a separate event for employees in Texas. 'ALMOST SURREAL' The IPO is a culmination of Musk's long-held ambitions in space and technology, and has stood out for rewriting Wall Street's IPO playbook and drawing legions of retail investors into the market.

Sequoia Capital's investment is worth over $20 billion at the IPO price, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters. At $75 billion, the IPO's proceeds were more than double those of Saudi Aramco's record-setting 2019 IPO. SpaceX's valuation could rise further should underwriters exercise their right to sell additional shares, a decision typically made within 30 days after the offering. “Seeing the company that I joined when it was just some sketches on paper become this valuable is almost surreal," said Tom Mueller, a founding SpaceX employee who spent 18 years at the company and a shareholder, who is now CEO of Impulse Space, a spacecraft startup. An estimated 4,000 current or former SpaceX employees will become millionaires based on the value of their SpaceX shares, according to Hill.com. Although SpaceX's lack of profitability makes it ineligible to join the S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab, its expected fast-track inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 will soon make it a major holding for passive funds and ETFs that track the index, creating a fresh source of demand for its shares. It will take about a month before SpaceX gets added to that index under Nasdaq's new fast-entry rules, as opposed to a typical wait of as much as a year. Some analysts expect SpaceX's debut to trigger a reshuffling of investor portfolios, creating selling pressure on other technology heavyweights as funds rotate into the stock. On Friday, shares of other space firms and satellite companies declined sharply, with Planet Labs (PL.N), opens new tab down 9% and EchoStar (SATS.O), opens new tab down 11%. SpaceX said its market opportunity spans $28.5 trillion, a figure it called the largest in human history. With its leading position in space - the firm says its operation is responsible for more than four-fifths of the mass launched into orbit over the past three years - and revenues from Starlink, some investors said it has a strong foundation upon which to build. Some analysts have already issued positive ratings on the company, but Morningstar analysts this month said it is more fairly valued at around $780 billion, and CFRA on Friday started coverage with a sell rating. "This is not a name you're buying based on fundamentals. For me, the analogy is Amazon. This was a company that changed the way we live," said Nancy Tengler, CEO and CIO of Laffer Tengler Investments.

জুন ১২ (Reuters) - SpaceX (SPCX.O) শুক্রবার নাসডাক অভিষেকে 19% লাভ করেছে, যার ফলে কোম্পানির মূল্য দুই ট্রিলিয়ন ডলার অতিক্রম করেছে এবং এটি মার্কিন যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের ষষ্ঠ বৃহত্তম কোম্পানি হয়ে উঠেছে। এই লাভের ফলে Elon Musk বিশ্বের প্রথম ট্রিলিয়নেয়ার হয়েছেন।
এই আইপিও দিয়ে $75 বিলিয়ন আয় করেছে SpaceX, যা Saudi Aramco-এর 2019 সালের রেকর্ড ভেঙে দিয়েছে। শেয়ারগুলো $150 দামে খোলা হয়েছিল এবং পুরো সেশন জুড়ে বাণিজ্য বৃদ্ধি পেয়েছে।
এই আইপিও-তে 510 মিলিয়ন শেয়ার প্রায় $84 বিলিয়ন মূল্যে বিক্রি হয়েছে, যদিও SpaceX বর্তমানে অলাভজনক এবং অনুরূপ মূল্যের টেক জায়ান্টদের তুলনায় খুব কম রাজস্ব উৎপন্ন করেছে।
SpaceX শেয়ার দিন শেষ করেছে $160.95-এ, যার ফলে কোম্পানির মূল্য 2.1 ট্রিলিয়ন ডলারে পৌঁছেছে। এই লাভের ফলে SpaceX-এর মার্কেট ভ্যালু Broadcom (AVGO.O)-এর চেয়ে বেশি হয়েছে এবং Amazon (AMZN.O) পরবর্তী স্থানে রয়েছে 2.6 ট্রিলিয়ন ডলারে।
বিনিয়োগকারীরা বিশ্বজুড়ে উত্তেজিত হয়েছে, বড় প্রতিষ্ঠান থেকে শুরু করে রিটেইল বিনিয়োগকারীরাও। "এলন মাস্কের প্রিমিয়ামের জন্য বিনিয়োগকারীরা ইচ্ছুক," বলেছেন Mindset Wealth Management-এর প্রধান বিনিয়োগ কর্মকর্তা Seth Hickle।
বিশ্লেষক এবং পোর্টফোলিও ম্যানেজাররা বলেছেন বিনিয়োগকারীদের উচিত অস্থিরতার জন্য প্রস্তুত থাকা, বিশেষ করে SpaceX-এর পাবলিক কোম্পানি হিসেবে প্রাথমিক জীবনে, কারণ এর ছোট আপেক্ষিক ফ্লোট এবং উচ্চ মূল্যায়নের কারণে।
