SpaceX Opens at $125.33, Down From $211.39 as SpaceXAI Doubts Deepen

1 articles · Updated · Forbes · Jul 20

Summary

  • $125.33 was SpaceX's July 20 opening price, extending a sharp retreat from its post-IPO peak after the stock debuted at $150 on June 12.
  • Shares had surged to a $211.39 close four days after the listing, then slid to $154.60 by June 22 before continuing an uneven decline.
  • Growing skepticism around SpaceXAI's ability to deliver on generative AI promises has added to the pressure, even as Starlink remains the company's main money-maker.
  • The drop fits a broader pattern of heavy volatility in major IPOs, where early hype, limited share supply and later reassessment often produce steep drawdowns.
