What is the SpaceX stock ticker?

SpaceX trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX. Its legal name is Space Exploration Technologies Corp., which is how it appears on some brokers' screens.

When did SpaceX go public?

SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 a share on June 11, 2026 and began trading on the Nasdaq on June 12, 2026. It opened at $150 and closed its first day at $160.95, up 19%.

How big was the SpaceX IPO?

About 556 million Class A shares were sold at $135, roughly $75 billion at the offer price — the largest IPO in history. The first-day close valued the company at about $2.1 trillion.

How do I buy SpaceX stock?

The same way as any listed stock: search SPCX at any brokerage and place an order during regular hours, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET. Most brokers also allow premarket and after-hours orders, where the stock is thinner and moves are larger.

When does the SpaceX lock-up expire?

Pre-IPO investors are subject to a 180-day lock-up, running to about December 9, 2026 on a staggered schedule. Elon Musk and other insiders are locked up for 366 days, to about June 13, 2027. Lock-up expiries release shares that could not previously be sold, which is why they are watched.

Do SpaceX shares carry voting rights?

Public shareholders hold Class A shares with one vote each. Insiders hold Class B shares with ten votes each, which leaves Elon Musk with roughly 82–85% of the voting power. Class A holders share in the economics of the company but do not control it.

A lock-up is the period after an IPO during which existing holders cannot sell. The expiry matters because it is the first day a large block of previously frozen shares can reach the market. Dates here are computed from the listing date and the disclosed periods; the staggered investor schedule means some shares free up earlier.

Share Classes and Control

SpaceX listed with a dual-class structure. The public holds Class A shares, one vote each. Insiders hold Class B shares carrying ten votes each, leaving Elon Musk with roughly 82–85% of the voting power after the offering. In practice Class A holders share in the company’s economics — its earnings, and any future dividends — without any say in how it is run. That is common among large founder-led listings and is worth knowing before treating a shareholder vote as meaningful.

How to Buy SpaceX Stock

SPCX is an ordinary listed stock: search the ticker at any brokerage and place an order. Regular trading runs 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET. Most brokers also accept premarket and after-hours orders; those sessions are thinner, and a move that looks large at 7 AM can fade by the open — the premarket page puts the current move in that context.

Before the IPO, exposure to SpaceX was available only through private secondary markets and a handful of funds that held pre-IPO stakes. Those routes are no longer necessary, and any product still marketing “pre-IPO SpaceX access” should be read with that in mind.
