SpaceX shares closed at $154.63 on Monday, marking a decline of approximately 16% for the trading day. This closing price positioned the stock near the $150 level established during the book-building process following the initial public offering (IPO), although it remained above the initial $135 IPO price point. The downward movement reflected a significant erosion of market value.
Over the preceding three trading days, the company shed more than $600 billion (equivalent to 524.2 billion euros) from its market capitalization. This decline marked a retreat from a recent peak valuation where SpaceX had temporarily surpassed the market caps of major corporations, including Amazon and, for a brief period, Microsoft. Currently, the company’s valuation stands slightly above $2 trillion (1.74 trillion euros).
Despite this substantial figure, it remains below the valuation of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). The trading activity highlighted the volatility surrounding the company’s valuation in the recent market sessions. Investors are closely monitoring these shifts as the stock continues to trade relative to its initial offering benchmarks and its elevated peak levels recorded over the last three sessions.
