SpaceX stock sinks another 7%. The IPO honeymoon is over
SpaceX stock has returned to a price above its initial public offering level following a period of extreme volatility. The stock previously lost nearly half its value from its peak, driven by a 18.4 billion dollar capital expenditure forecast and concerns over AI spending versus revenue. While some analysts suggest the stock could fall further by the end of the year, a recent lock-up rally indicates a shift in investor sentiment. Bulls now argue this recovery may signal the start of a sustained upward trend.

SpaceX shares rebound above IPO price after steep selloff
SpaceX stock has returned to a price above its initial public offering level following a period of extreme volatility. The stock previously lost nearly half its value from its peak, driven by a 18.4 billion dollar capital expenditure forecast and concerns over AI spending versus revenue.
