SpaceX IPO Set for June 12

SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk, is slated to go public on June 12, with an estimated valuation of $2 trillion, potentially marking the largest IPO in history. The company is expected to issue only 3%-4% of its shares, falling short of the 10% public float requirement for inclusion in the S&P 500.

Inclusion in the S&P 500 Unlikely Soon

For SpaceX to qualify for the S&P 500, it must meet three criteria: be publicly traded for a full year, report profitability in its most recent quarter while being profitable over the past year, and maintain a public float greater than 10%. Currently, SpaceX does not meet these requirements.

Market Impact

If included in the index, SpaceX could significantly influence S&P 500 ETFs by boosting their exposure to high-growth sectors. Its potential valuation would place it among the top holdings of the index, further concentrating its makeup towards growth-oriented companies.
