SpaceX IPO trading pushed SPCX near a $2.1 trillion valuation after a record $75 billion raise, while Japan’s retail tranche, Golden Dome contracts, and Blue Origin’s New Glenn setback sharpen the market’s view of SpaceX’s growth moat.

1. SpaceX stock jumps 19%, closing near $161 after record IPO - CNBC — CNBC

   SpaceX (SPCX) IPO: Live updates

SpaceX jumped 19% on Friday in its Nasdaq debut after the biggest initial public offering ever. The stock closed at around $161, valuing the company at $2.1 trillion, and kept rallying in extended trading adding about another $100 billion to its market cap.

The shares opened at $150 under the ticker SPCX after SpaceX raised $75 billion in the IPO. The high price…

- SpaceX set a date. The listing is now expected Friday, June 12 on the Nasdaq under ticker SPCX — but the company quietly cut its valuation target to “at least $1.8 trillion,” down from the $2T+ it floated in April (Bloomberg, May 29). It’s still the largest IPO in history by a wide margin.
