SpaceX shares climbed about 12% in their second Nasdaq session Monday, extending a post-IPO rally that lifted the company’s market value near $2.35 trillion.
Key Points:
- SpaceX stock rose to $179.97 in early afternoon trading, adding $19.02 on the session.
- The move followed a 19% first-day surge after the company priced its IPO at $135 a share.
- The rally has pushed SpaceX far above some analyst targets, even as the company remains unprofitable.
SpaceX Stock
SpaceX Class A shares, listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX, opened at $171.81 and traded as high as $179.50.
The stock stood at $179.97 by early afternoon, up from a prior close of $160.95, while trading volume topped 144 million shares as demand stayed heavy after the listing.
The move built on SpaceX’s first trading day, when shares rose 19% from the $135 offer price and closed well above the IPO level.
The company raised about $75 billion by selling more than 555 million shares, making the offering the largest IPO on record.
That debut valued SpaceX above $2 trillion and strengthened Elon Musk’s position among the world’s wealthiest people, while placing the company ahead of Meta, Samsung and Tesla by market value.

SpaceX Valuation
The rally also sharpened questions around valuation, since SpaceX remains unprofitable despite its scale and investor demand.
The company booked $18.7 billion in revenue last year and lost $8.7 billion between the start of 2025 and Mar. 31, 2026.
The average one-year analyst price target cited in the report sits at $164, below Monday’s trading level, which suggests the stock could face pressure if early momentum slows.
Still, Kevin O’Leary has argued that the valuation reflects future growth rather than current earnings, a view that has helped frame SpaceX as a long-term infrastructure and space-economy bet. Saudi Arabia’s Kingdom Holding Co., controlled by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, said its SpaceX stake rose to about $6.83 billion after the Nasdaq debut.
The firm holds 42.4 million Class A shares, or a 0.34% stake, after carrying the position at $4.47 billion as of Mar. 31.
Those shares cannot be sold immediately because they are subject to a lock-up of up to 180 days, although early-release terms depend on SpaceX earnings and share-price thresholds. SpaceX’s latest move follows a first session in which the stock opened at $150, reached $176.52 and finished more than 19% above the IPO price.
