Elon Musk’s SpaceX is preparing for what could become the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history, with plans to launch an early June roadshow ahead of a potential listing later this year.
According to recent reports, the company aims to raise around $75 billion, targeting a valuation of up to $1.75 trillion, significantly higher than previous private market estimates.
IPO Roadshow Expected in Early June
Sources familiar with the matter say SpaceX is planning to begin its IPO roadshow in the week of June 8, 2026, when executives and bankers will present the offering to institutional and retail investors.
The company is also expected to publicly file its IPO prospectus in late May, marking a key step toward its long-anticipated market debut.
A Record-Breaking Offering in the Making
If successful, the IPO could surpass all previous listings, including Saudi Aramco’s record $29.4 billion offering in 2019.
SpaceX’s targeted $75 billion raise and $1.75 trillion valuation would position it among the most valuable companies globally at debut.
The valuation represents a sharp increase from:
- Around $800 billion in late 2025 private markets
- Approximately $1.25 trillion following its merger with xAI
Some reports suggest internal discussions have even explored valuations exceeding $2 trillion, though final figures remain subject to change.
Retail Investors to Play a Bigger Role
In a notable shift from traditional IPO structures, SpaceX is planning to allocate a significantly larger portion of shares to retail investors.
Executives have indicated that as much as 30% of the offering could be reserved for individual investors, far above the typical 5–10% seen in most IPOs.
The company is also planning a dedicated investor event in June, potentially hosting around 1,500 retail participants from multiple global markets.
Backed by Major Wall Street Banks
The IPO is being led by a consortium of major financial institutions, including:
- Morgan Stanley
- Goldman Sachs
- JPMorgan Chase
- Bank of America
- Citigroup
These firms are expected to play key roles in underwriting and distributing shares globally.
Growth Driven by Starlink and AI Expansion
SpaceX’s valuation is largely supported by its rapidly growing Starlink satellite internet business, which generates a significant portion of the company’s revenue.
In addition, the recent merger with Musk’s AI venture xAI has expanded SpaceX’s scope into:
- Artificial intelligence infrastructure
- Space-based data centers
- Next-generation computing systems
These developments have strengthened investor interest ahead of the IPO.
Strategic Timing and Market Impact
The IPO comes at a time when global markets are closely watching large tech listings, with SpaceX widely viewed as a flagship offering for the next wave of innovation-driven IPOs.
Analysts believe the listing could:
- Set new benchmarks for tech valuations
- Boost investor appetite for space and AI companies
- Reshape capital flows into emerging technologies
Outlook
While details remain subject to change, SpaceX’s IPO is shaping up to be a landmark event for both the aerospace and financial sectors.
If the company meets its ambitious targets, the listing could redefine the scale of public offerings and mark a new era for space, AI, and private technology firms entering public markets.
