If You'd Put $500 Into SpaceX the Day It Went Public, Here's What You'd Have Today

SpaceX held its IPO on June 12, 2026, opening at $150 and closing at $160.95 on day one. Initial momentum carried shares to $201.80 by the third trading day. However, investor enthusiasm waned following news of a $25 billion bond offering, neutral analyst ratings, and a Q2 2026 earnings report revealing $15.8 billion in AI infrastructure investments. A $500 investment at IPO would have declined to $479 by August 31, 2026, representing a 4.2% loss.
