SpaceX Plans 2026 IPO Targeting $1.5 Trillion Valuation

SpaceX is reportedly planning an initial public offering in mid-to-late 2026, targeting a valuation of around $1.5 trillion and aiming to raise approximately $30 billion, according to multiple reports from Bloomberg and other sources.

If successful, this IPO would become the largest in history, surpassing the $29 billion raised by Saudi Aramco in 2019. Previously, SpaceX had considered keeping its Starlink division private, but the growing interest in space technology seems to have shifted its strategy.

Currently, SpaceX is believed to be valued at around $800 billion, with its Starlink satellite internet service contributing significantly to its revenue, reportedly accounting for 60 to 70 percent of the company's income.

Elon Musk, who has historically been cautious about taking the company public, has suggested that the IPO could provide Tesla shareholders access to SpaceX stock. Despite earlier denials regarding its valuation, Musk confirmed that SpaceX has been cash flow positive for years and engages in regular stock buybacks to maintain liquidity for employees and investors.

With expected revenues projected to rise to between $22 billion and $24 billion in 2026, the anticipated IPO reflects the increasing investment opportunities within the burgeoning space technology sector.
