SpaceX's June 12 IPO could raise $75 billion and value the company at $1.8 trillion, making it potentially the largest public offering in history.
Starlink is SpaceX's real moneymaker, generating $11.4 billion in revenue and $1.2 billion in profit, while the space launch business and xAI remain unprofitable.
At its current extreme valuation, SpaceX needs near-perfect execution across all business units -- and the recently acquired xAI is burning roughly $1 billion per month.
What could be the biggest initial public offering (IPO) in history is just around the corner. On June 12, shares of SpaceX -- trading under the ticker SPCX -- will hit public markets, finally giving retail investors a chance to own Elon Musk's space and technology behemoth.
The company is hoping to raise a whopping $75 billion. If it does, it will eclipse the record $29.4 billion raised in the 2019 listing of Saudi Arabian Oil , or Saudi Aramco. And if all goes according to plan, SpaceX will carry a market capitalization that places it among the top 10 most valuable companies on the planet -- $1.8 trillion. It will also make it bigger than Tesla , which is also led by Musk.
