Jakarta, Gotrade News - SpaceX is gearing up to hit the public markets next year with a seriously ambitious valuation target. The Elon Musk-led company is aiming for the $1.5 trillion mark, potentially smashing the record set by Saudi Aramco's IPO.
Keytakeaways:
- SpaceX is targeting a $1.5 trillion valuation for its IPO next year, which could be the biggest listing ever.
- Private investors like Ron Baron and Cathie Wood are predicting significant asset value growth through 2030.
- This IPO is expected to boost valuations for public peers like Rocket Lab and Planet Labs.
This massive valuation target spells huge gains for early investors who have been in the game for a while. Ron Baron of Baron Capital has stated he won't be selling a single share.
Baron believes SpaceX is still in the early stages of long-term value creation. According to a report from CNBC, Baron predicts his investment could grow 10 times in value over the coming decade.
Cathie Wood shares this conviction, making SpaceX the largest holding in her ARK Venture Fund. Wood projects the company's value could hit $2.5 trillion by 2030, driven by Starlink's expansion.
Ripple Effect on the Industry
SpaceX's move to go public is predicted to act as a valuation anchor for the entire global aerospace industry. Andres Sheppard from Cantor Fitzgerald believes this event will shine a spotlight on space sector stocks that are currently undervalued.
This positive sentiment could be a win for Rocket Lab, considered SpaceX's closest competitor in the public market. Sheppard notes that Rocket Lab has completed 77 successful launches and is targeting over 20 more in 2025.
Other companies in the satellite data space also stand to benefit from this major momentum. Planet Labs is known to be working with Alphabet Inc. to develop advanced satellite prototypes.
Analysis from Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft suggests that strategic acquisitions in this sector could open access to orbital graphics processing technology. This giant transaction is also projected to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in underwriting fees for Wall Street.
