SpaceX's stock experienced a significant selloff in premarket trading, continuing a trend from the previous trading days following a strong initial rally after its record-breaking IPO on June 12.
SpaceX is down more than 5% in premarket trading on Monday, continuing a selloff that has seen the stock fall in the past two full days of trading after a rally after its record-breaking IPO.
Shares in the company were down 5.73% at 7.15 a.m. ET.
Elon Musk's space and artificial intelligence firm became one of the world's most valuable companies after a blockbuster listing on June 12. Stock surged in SpaceX's first two full days as a public company, with market cap surpassing Amazon and — briefly — Microsoft on Tuesday, before falling back below both.
Shares sank 5% and 3.6% on Wednesday and Thursday last week, before the Juneteenth holiday on Friday.
The stock was still up 37% since its historic debut at market close on Thursday, which offered shares at a set price of $135.
Bullish investors are betting big on the prospect of CEO Elon Musk driving long-term returns at SpaceX. The company posted a $4.9 billion net loss in 2025, and it lost $4.28 billion in the first quarter of this year.
But the average investor who bought SpaceX shares in the open market after its debut had seen nearly all of their gains disappear by the end of last week, thanks to the pullback.
Despite that, the blockbuster IPO has made Musk the world's first trillionaire, minted thousands of new millionaires — and saw some shareholders' stakes surpass the billion-dollar mark.
