SpaceX IPO Filings Reveal Institutional Holders After $135-a-Share Debut

3 articles · Updated · Pensions & Investments · Aug 19

Summary

  • Official filings now show which institutional investors bought SpaceX after its June 12 public debut at $135 a share, detailing how the record IPO entered professional portfolios.
  • The disclosures answer a key post-listing question because institutional ownership was widely expected, but the identities and size of those stakes had not been public.
  • SpaceX’s market debut was the largest IPO on record, raising $85.7 billion after opening around $150 and briefly climbing as high as $225 before turning volatile.
  • That volatility has recently eased: shares closed at $138.74 on Aug. 18, back above the IPO price for the first time since July 16 after rebounding from an Aug. 3 low of $104.83.
