At A $2 Trillion Valuation, SpaceX Would Rank Among The Ten Biggest US Stocks
@SpaceX is heading for what could be the biggest IPO in history – a roughly $75 billion offering at a valuation north of $2 trillion, potentially as soon as June.
That's a lot of zeros for a company
@elonmusk swore he'd never take public (at least not until humans reached Mars).
At $2 trillion against about $18.7 billion in 2025 revenue (based on leaked IPO prospectus details), it would list at around 107x trailing sales.
For context, Tesla trades at about 13x, while Palantir – the most expensive stock in the S&P 500 by a wide margin – sits closer to 62x.
The median Nasdaq 100 stock, meanwhile, trades at roughly 6x.
There’s no public market comparable trading at anything close to this multiple at this scale.
Of course, no one’s valuing SpaceX on what it made last year – they’re paying for what it could become.
And that vision is huge, including things like:
• Starship (SpaceX's fully reusable, super heavy-lift vehicle) positioning the company as the world's dominant launch provider with an unmatched cost advantage.
• Billions of Starlink subscribers generating high-margin recurring revenue (Starlink's EBITDA margin is already >50%).
• A first-mover in orbital data centers (
@AnthropicAI just expressed interest in partnering with SpaceX to deploy multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity).
• A go-to government partner for human and cargo missions to the Moon and eventually Mars.
SpaceX may well deliver on parts of that vision, sure, but the key point is this: at such a lofty starting valuation, a great deal of optimism is already priced in – leaving little room for execution missteps.
Finimize will go over all of this and lots more – including a full sum-of-the-parts valuation – in an upcoming research piece on SpaceX next week. Stay tuned.
