SpaceX Stock Plunges 45% From IPO Peak, Analysts Warn of Further Pain
SpaceX, which went public on June 12, 2026, raising a record $85.7 billion in its IPO, has seen its stock price fall 45% from its intraday high of $225.64 to under $124 as of July 17. The article, written by Sean Williams of The Motley Fool, warns that further downside is likely due to several factors: an accelerated insider lockup period beginning after the first quarterly report on August 6, which will increase the float; an extremely high price-to-sales ratio of 42, far above the historical sustainable threshold of 30 for innovative companies; lack of recurring profitability; and planned debt and equity offerings to fund AI infrastructure expansion. The author argues that historical precedent suggests the stock could fall another 30% to reach more typical valuation levels.
