SpaceX Shares Are Crashing Back Near $100 Per Share. Is It Time to Buy or Wait Longer?

With SpaceX shares down 51% from their peak, an upcoming lockup expiry will free 911 million shares for early investors, raising concerns about potential selling pressure.

  • On August 6, 2026, SpaceX faces a major lockup expiry that could release 911.5 million shares, compounding pressure from a 51% drawdown since the June IPO.
  • Even after shedding over 50% from peak prices, SpaceX still carries a roughly $1.45 trillion market cap, a figure analysts find staggering given the company has never reported public quarterly financials.
  • Steven Lewis, managing director at JamesDruryPartners, noted that shareholders increasingly question whether the board can act as an independent check when leadership authority remains highly concentrated.
  • With second-quarter earnings scheduled for August 4, 2026, options traders maintain a bearish 1.64 put/call ratio, reflecting skepticism about near-term price stability ahead of share releases.
  • The company serves as a test case for future trillion-dollar IPOs, as investors evaluate whether public ownership provides meaningful mechanisms to hold visionary founders accountable during strategic uncertainty.
