SpaceX is gearing up for a landmark IPO, having selected Goldman Sachs to lead the offering, which is expected to be the largest in history. Following Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase will play key roles in the process. The company, recently valued at $1.25 trillion following its merger with xAI, has filed its IPO prospectus confidentially with the SEC and may publicly disclose it as soon as Wednesday.
This move comes at a pivotal moment for the market, as it sets the stage for a potential wave of mega IPOs, particularly in the AI sector. With only two tech companies, Facebook and Alibaba, having surpassed $100 billion valuations on their first trading days, SpaceX’s entry could redefine market expectations. The backdrop of Musk’s recent legal challenges with OpenAI adds a layer of intrigue to the offering.
Market professionals should closely monitor this IPO, as it could signal renewed investor appetite for high-value tech listings and influence the trajectory of upcoming offerings from AI leaders like OpenAI and Anthropic.
