SpaceX Is the 5th Most Valuable Public Company in the World. Can It Overtake Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple, or Microsoft?

SpaceX became the world's fifth-most-valuable company following its IPO in June 2026, with a market cap of $2.73 trillion. While the stock has surged 35% since its IPO, the author cautions that it's unlikely to sustain this momentum long-term. Historical trends show large IPOs typically decline after their lock-up periods end when insiders can sell shares. The author recommends dollar-cost averaging or waiting for the hype to fade rather than investing based on FOMO.
