SpaceX shares fall below issue price in stock market debut
Shares of billionaire Elon Musk's space company SpaceX fell below the price set at its stock market debut on Wednesday, July 15, 2026. After a record stock market debut and a sharp initial rise, the stock dropped below the $135 mark. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The development suggests that investor enthusiasm around the company has weakened significantly after the first month of trading. Upon its Wall Street listing, the stock briefly rose as high as $225, but then lost part of its gains and fell to its lowest level yet since the IPO. Tagesspiegel ↗
The drop below the issue price is psychologically significant for the market, as it signals a shift in sentiment after a period of strong demand. SpaceX attracted particular attention at its debut mainly because it was an extremely closely watched technology and space company associated with Musk's name. Le Figaro ↗
Further developments will depend on whether the company manages to restore investor confidence after the rapid fading of the initial euphoria. The current decline also shows that even highly watched technology companies do not necessarily maintain their initial valuation after going public. Die Zeit ↗
