SpaceX Stock Performance: A Look at Two Months Since IPO
Key takeaways
- SpaceX IPO was more than four times oversubscribed
- Investing $10,000 at the IPO would have resulted in a position worth $9,333.33 after two months
- SpaceX stock has been trading below its IPO price for several weeks
Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX) went public in early December, and since then, its stock performance has been under scrutiny. The initial public offering (IPO) was heavily subscribed, with retail and institutional investors showing significant interest.
According to reports, the IPO was more than four times oversubscribed. However, SpaceX's stock performance has been unspectacular, trading below its IPO price for several weeks. It has recently started to rise since delivering its second-quarter earnings report as a public company.
If you had invested $10,000 when the stock began trading on the public markets, you would have received just over 66 shares at $150 apiece. At Friday's closing price of $140.00, you'd have a position worth $9,333.33, representing a 6.67% decrease.
Despite this initial drop, SpaceX has only been on the market for two months. As with any stock, investors should take a long-term approach to SpaceX, not buy it in hopes of a quick gain.
