orywireSpaceX shares are expected to begin trading June 12 under the ticker SPCX, according to SEC-filed IPO materials. The final IPO price is expected June 11, with the filing materials listing $135 as the indicative price.
SpaceX is not trading publicly yet, but its IPO calendar now points to a June 12 debut. SEC-filed materials say the company expects its Class A shares to begin trading on Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas under the ticker SPCX after the final IPO price is set June 11.
The latest SEC-filed IPO materials list three key dates for investors watching the SpaceX offering.
Those dates are still part of the offering process, not proof that the stock is already available for normal public trading. IPO timetables can change before a deal prices, and the company’s listing remains subject to exchange requirements.
Reuters reported June 4 that SpaceX’s trading debut is expected Friday, June 12.
The SEC-filed materials list $135 per share as the indicative price. They also say the final price will be determined by SpaceX and its underwriters and may be above, below or equal to that amount.
Reuters reported that SpaceX told banks it was set on the $135-a-share price disclosed in its amended IPO filing. The same report said sources stressed that the decision could still change before the IPO takes place.
At the $135 indicative price, the global offering would involve 555,555,555 shares of Class A common stock. SEC-filed materials say the deal would raise about $74.4 billion in net proceeds after underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their overallotment option.
The planned SpaceX stock symbol is SPCX.
The company has applied to list its Class A common stock on Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas under that symbol, according to SEC-filed offering materials. The ticker will matter once the shares begin trading, but investors should still distinguish between a planned symbol and an active public listing.
Until the IPO is completed and shares open for trading, SpaceX remains outside normal public stock-market access.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp. filed its initial Form S-1 registration statement on May 20, according to SEC EDGAR filing records. A later SEC-filed free writing prospectus said SpaceX filed Amendment No. 2 to its Form S-1 on June 3 and launched an IPO website on June 4.
The SEC-filed materials say SpaceX is offering Class A common stock. They also say the company plans to use net proceeds to fund growth, including expansion of AI compute infrastructure, launch infrastructure and launch vehicles, satellite constellation capacity and general corporate purposes.
The registration statement had not become effective at the time described in the SEC-filed roadshow materials, meaning securities could not be sold and offers to buy could not be accepted until the registration statement becomes effective.
Investors looking for the SpaceX IPO date should focus on the final pricing step first. The next major milestone is the expected June 11 pricing, followed by the expected June 12 trading start if the offering proceeds as planned.
SpaceX’s IPO materials say retail investors may request shares through participating brokerage platforms, but a request is not the same as a guaranteed allocation. Brokerage platforms determine eligibility and confirm allocations.
Readers should check the latest SEC filings, their brokerage account notices and the first public quote under SPCX once trading begins. The opening trade price may differ from the IPO price because public market trading reflects supply and demand after the stock lists.
The final IPO price, the allocation of shares and the first public trading price remain unknown until the offering is completed. The company’s own materials say the final price may differ from the $135 indicative price.
The expected June 12 trading date could also move if the offering timetable changes. A new SEC filing, pricing announcement or exchange notice would be the most important update to watch next.
