SpaceX Weighs 2026 IPO Seeking Roughly $1.5 Trillion

Reports link the push to Starlink’s surging revenue growth.

Overview

  • Bloomberg-led reporting says SpaceX and its advisers are preparing a mid-to-late 2026 listing that could raise roughly $30 billion at a near $1.5 trillion valuation.
  • The timetable is described as tentative, with sources saying market conditions could push the deal into 2027 and the company offering no formal confirmation.
  • A recently firmed insider sale lets employees sell about $2 billion at roughly $420 per share, implying a valuation above earlier ~$800 billion figures.
  • Proceeds are expected to support space-based data centers and chip purchases, with Starlink driving projected revenue from about $15 billion in 2025 to $22–24 billion in 2026.
  • Elon Musk has criticized some valuation reports as inaccurate while exploring ways for Tesla shareholders to access SpaceX, and reports of the plan lifted shares of partners such as EchoStar and Rocket Lab.
