They said they are trying to keep the IPO orderly and make sure they get the right price. This came from the president of the Nasdaq just moments ago.
BREAKING: @SpaceX $SPCX
Now indicating that shares will open at $162 per share.
This would be 20% above the IPO price of $135 per share.
Shares are expected to begin trading soon.
@georgie_arm68@KobeissiLetter@SpaceX I am watching with anticipation. Will be hard not to be gripped by the volatility. Wish everyone trading it the best
Big day ahead as @SpaceX $SPCX starts trading.
I am not chasing today. Let me explain why. The largest IPO in history prices at $135 a share, $1.77 trillion market cap, with demand reportedly running four times the available shares.
The opening session of an IPO this size is almost entirely a sentiment trade. Every retail dollar and a wave of institutional FOMO chasing the same price at the same moment.
I expect today to be extraordinarily volatile, and the price you pay at the open is almost certainly not the price you get later in the year.

Anyone holding Nasdaq exposure already has meaningful indirect participation in SpaceX coming. Once the stock lists and is added to the index, Nasdaq trackers pick it up automatically at index weight. You're not standing on the sidelines. You're participating through a more measured channel without paying the day one premium.
This is the broader point I come back to with clients. A portfolio is not a collection of exciting individual bets. It is the financial expression of a plan, anchored to your actual goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.
When a name like SpaceX debuts, the right question is never just "do I want to own it." It is "does owning it, at this price and this size, move me closer to what this money is actually for."
For some clients a small position makes sense. For others, the index exposure they already hold is exactly right. The plan tells you which, and removes emotion from a decision the market is engineered to make as emotional as possible.
To be clear, the business is real. Starlink runs profitably, NASA contracts are locked in for years. The question is not quality. It is price.
Any meaningful pullback after the debut would offer a better entry than opening day euphoria. I'd rather see how the float behaves before committing fresh capital.
