SpaceX IPO Set to Make History
SpaceX plans to launch the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history this summer, aiming to raise $75 billion at a valuation of $1.75 trillion. This substantial influx of capital is expected to allow the aerospace company to significantly increase its capital expenditures, which could benefit various stakeholders in the aerospace industry.
Alphabet, which invested $900 million in SpaceX in 2015, could see its stake, approximately 5% post-merger, valued at around $87.5 billion post-IPO. Meanwhile, Intel is working with SpaceX on the Terafab project to expand chip supply capacity, forecasting costs of $119 billion. Linde, the leading industrial gas provider for rocket launches, has established a $100 million facility in Texas to support SpaceX, which is currently testing its next-generation Starship vehicle.
