Read, Watch or Listen

SpaceX shares stabilized on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, after a sharp three-day decline that wiped out about $600 billion in market value. Trading under the ticker SPCX, the stock closed at $156.11, up nearly 1%, following a 16% drop on Monday that took it below its post-IPO closing price of $160.95. The volatility comes less than two weeks after SpaceX completed the largest initial public offering in history on June 12, 2026, raising an initial $75 billion at $135 per share. Strong early demand lifted its valuation above $2.2 trillion, with about 30% of shares reserved for retail investors through major brokerage platforms.
