SpaceX IPO: Trade the Blast Radius

SpaceX is set to go public on June 12 with an estimated $2 trillion valuation and $75 billion raise. While many prop traders won't have direct access to the IPO, the article suggests trading the broader market effects rather than the stock itself. The IPO could boost Nasdaq sentiment through forced buying when SpaceX is added to the Nasdaq-100 index, but historical precedent shows mega-IPOs often experience significant drawdowns after initial hype fades. Traders are advised to focus on Nasdaq futures, QQQ, and related technology stocks rather than chasing the IPO directly.

SpaceX is preparing for an IPO with an $1.8 trillion valuation, which would make it the eighth-largest U.S. company. While the company has impressive revenue growth ($18.7B in 2025, up 33% YoY) and Starlink profitability, critics argue the valuation is unjustified. SpaceX's 96x price-to-sales ratio far exceeds Tesla's 15.7x, and the company's $28.5 trillion total addressable market estimate is largely based on speculative AI data center plans rather than current business fundamentals.
