SpaceX, a space company founded by Elon Musk, plans to list its shares on the Nasdaq exchange, which could become the largest IPO in history. According to information obtained from Reuters, this event is expected by the end of 2026.
The company’s preliminary plans involve inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 index, which is considered an indicator of stability and popularity among large investors. To be included in this index, companies usually need to prove their stability to the market. However, under the new “Fast Entry” rule, SpaceX could become a member of the Nasdaq 100 in less than a month if its market capitalization enters the top 40 current index members.
SpaceX’s valuation stands at approximately $1.7 trillion, making it the sixth-largest company by market value in the United States. This has been made possible due to its strategic development directions and potential financial indicators, which point to revenue of $15 billion in 2025, with expected growth to $22–24 billion in 2026.
Competition for the right to list SpaceX also includes the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), but there is no final decision from the company yet. Analysts believe that access to blue-chip indices could significantly improve the liquidity of SpaceX shares and increase their appeal to large investors.
Another important context is that the founder of SpaceX, Elon Musk, became the first person in the world whose wealth exceeded $800 billion. This happened in 2026 following the acquisition of SpaceX by his company xAI.
| Year | Expected Revenue of SpaceX |
|---|---|
| 2025 | $15 billion |
| 2026 | $22-24 billion |
