SpaceX files for initial public offering
SpaceX submitted its IPO prospectus on Wednesday, disclosing financial details and business operations ahead of an expected June 2026 listing under ticker SPCX. The offering could value the company at up to $1.75 trillion and raise as much as $80 billion, potentially making it the largest IPO ever and enabling founder Elon Musk to become the world's first trillionaire. The filing reveals SpaceX is currently unprofitable with a $4.9 billion net loss on $18.67 billion in revenue for 2025, despite major growth expectations.
