Elon Musk's SpaceX is on track to become one of the world's most valuable companies with a potential $1.5 trillion IPO, valued at 42% higher than its previous valuation estimate of $800 billion.
According to reports, the rocket company is planning to raise $50 billion and go public in mid-June, coinciding with a rare planetary alignment and Musk's upcoming 55th birthday on June 28. The initial public offering would mark a significant milestone for SpaceX, which has been growing rapidly under Musk's leadership since its inception.
SpaceX generates revenue from deploying reusable rockets for missions such as launching satellites and restocking the International Space Station, as well as operating the Starlink satellite high-speed internet service. With $1.1 billion of its annual revenue coming from NASA contracts, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for space technology.
The potential IPO would be one of the largest in history, surpassing even Saudi Aramco's 2019 initial public offering that raised $29 billion but valued the oil giant at $1.7 trillion. Analysts are hailing the deal as a "bet on the future of the space economy" and say it reflects not just Musk's entrepreneurial spirit but also the growing interest in private space exploration.
Despite some skepticism from analysts, including Neil Wilson at Saxo Capital Markets, who described the proposed valuation as a "monster premium", many experts believe that SpaceX's ambitious plans for expansion into space tourism, lunar colonization, and even Mars exploration justify its lofty valuation.
