SpaceX plans to go public in mid-to-late 2026, and the company aims to raise roughly $30 billion at an estimated valuation of about $1.5 trillion. Moreover, this target would surpass the record set by Saudi Aramco’s 2019 public debut, which brought in $29 billion. The approach also marks a shift, since the company once weighed a separate IPO for its Starlink unit while keeping its core operations private. Additionally, recent reporting first indicated that a late-2026 timeline was under consideration.
Context Behind the Valuation
Reports surfaced shortly after earlier coverage noted the same general timeframe, and they added new insight into internal financial activity. Furthermore, another outlet revealed that SpaceX pursued a secondary share sale for employees that implied a valuation near $800 billion. Soon after, updated information indicated that the company firmed up that sale, and the figure reportedly moved above that earlier valuation. Employees may sell about $2 billion in shares at a price of $420 each, and this development contributes to a clearer picture of investor expectations.
