SpaceX shares fall below $135 IPO price

financeJul 15, 2026252,173

SpaceX shares fell for a fourth straight session on Wednesday, briefly slipping below their $135 initial public offering price for the first time before closing at $135.27 per share. The stock has whipsawed since last month’s historic IPO that raised a record $86 billion and helped cement founder Elon Musk as the first trillionaire. Shares surged above $225 during the first month of trading and jumped about 20 percent on their first full trading day, but have cooled since the company’s recent induction into the Nasdaq-100. SpaceX joined the Nasdaq-100 after a rule change shortened eligibility to 15 trading days, bringing passive index-tracking funds into the stock and contributing to volatility; shares fell below their first trade price of $150 the day after joining the index. The slide comes ahead of SpaceX’s 13th Starship test flight scheduled for Thursday, suggesting investor enthusiasm is easing about a month after the blockbuster debut. The move underscores market revaluation of the reusable rocket maker amid broader IPO activity from AI firms such as Anthropic and OpenAI.
