Why Did SpaceX Stock Drop Today -- Then Pop?

Shares fell to a record low ahead of SpaceX’s first public earnings report and a lockup expiration that could release up to 37% of insider-held stock.

  • On Monday, SpaceX shares fell to a record closing low of $113.50 despite the 13th successful Starship flight on Friday, which deployed 20 Starlink V3 satellites and achieved every major test objective.
  • A looming insider lockup expiration next month could unleash up to 37% of insider-held shares; the company's valuation has fallen by more than $1 trillion since the June IPO.
  • Bernstein SocGen analyst Douglas Harned reiterated an 'outperform' rating, insisting the stock is worth $239. Elon Musk predicts orbital artificial intelligence data centers will unlock a $28.5 trillion market.
  • Clayton Swope, deputy director of the Aerospace Security Project, says "The future of the company is riding on the ability to make Starship work." He compares the transition to switching from a 'pickup truck' to a 'freight train' for scale.
  • Musk joked about his falling net worth on Friday, calling himself a " Trillionaire." The company's first earnings report as a public firm is due Aug 4, providing the next major market indicator.
