SpaceX (SPCX) went public on June 12, opening at $150 and closing its first day at $161, a 19% gain from the $135 IPO price. The stock's near-term price action is driven by retail excitement and the Starship launch narrative, but key price catalysts lie ahead, including Nasdaq 100 index inclusion in late June or early July, which will force index funds to buy SPCX shares, and a staggered insider lock-up release schedule through December. The company’s revenue is mainly from Starlink, its profitable satellite broadband service, while its AI unit xAI is currently loss-making but ambitious. Investors should watch the calendar for these structural events rather than short-term hype, as the stock’s valuation and future depend on multiple long-term growth bets and market mechanics beyond the rocket launches.
