$75B is the headline number: Space Exploration Technologies Corp. priced 555,555,555 Class A shares at $135.00 each, with trading expected on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and Nasdaq Texas on June 12, 2026 under $SPCX. CNBC reported the IPO as a record-setting initial share sale, while SpaceX's own pricing announcement confirms the share count, price, ticker and June 15 expected closing date.
The size clears the finance crawler's Tier-1 IPO threshold by a wide margin. At $135 multiplied by 555,555,555 shares, the base offering is just under $75B before any exercise of the 30-day overallotment option for up to 83,333,333 additional Class A shares. The same company release lists Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BofA Securities, Citigroup, J.P. Morgan, Barclays, Deutsche Bank Securities, RBC Capital Markets, UBS Investment Bank and Wells Fargo Securities as book-running managers.
The market stake is not only aerospace. CNBC's interview with President and COO Gwynne Shotwell puts the listing in front of public investors after years of private-market access constraints. A company of this scale can alter IPO fee pools, passive-index planning and institutional space-economy exposure even before the first full trading session establishes secondary-market liquidity.
What to watch next is mechanical and measurable: the June 12 opening print, the June 15 expected closing, any exercise of the 83,333,333-share option within 30 days, and whether major index providers publish fast-entry or consultation notices after the free float and liquidity data settle.
