3 Key Points

  • What happened

    SpaceX began trading at $150 per share on Friday, up about 11% from its IPO price of $135. The offering was more than four times oversubscribed and raised $75 billion(約12兆円) for the company, with retail investors placing orders for more than $100 billion(約16兆円) in stock but receiving only a fraction of their requests.

  • Why it matters

    The company generated $18.67 billion(約3兆円) in revenue in 2025, up 33% year over year, driven mainly by its Starlink satellite internet business—currently its only profitable segment. However, it has signed two new computing-capacity contracts in 2026 worth $920 million(約1500億円) per month with Alphabet and $1.25 billion(約2000億円) per month with Anthropic, suggesting potential revenue of $45 billion(約7.2兆円) in 2026, which would justify part of the market's valuation bet.

  • What to watch

    SpaceX's current price-to-sales ratio stands at 45 based on the projected $45 billion(約7.2兆円) 2026 revenue. The stock has climbed as high as $176.49, or roughly 31% above the offering price, valuing the company at more than $2.2 trillion(約350兆円)—making it the world's sixth-most-valuable company as of the article's 1:36 p.m. ET snapshot.
