On June 16, retail investors heavily bought SpaceX shares during its IPO debut, marking the largest retail net buying day for any recent IPO, while selling other stocks including major tech names like NVIDIA and Microsoft. SpaceX's market cap surged by over $700 billion in two days, driven by its transformational tech story, Elon Musk's $1 trillion revenue projection by 2030, and strong retail enthusiasm. This shift highlights SpaceX as a new retail favorite, comparable to the top tech giants, but also introduces concentration risk if the trend reverses. Upcoming options trading and space-related IPOs could influence this dynamic further.
