These scenarios are not guarantees. They show the most likely path, the upside path, and the downside path based on the evidence available now.
The most likely path, plus upside and downside
SpaceX successfully goes public at a valuation close to $1.75 trillion, with solid post-IPO performance based on continued growth in satellite launches and commercial contracts.
If market conditions are favorable and investor interest exceeds expectations, SpaceX could achieve an IPO valuation of over $2 trillion, triggering a valuation boom in the commercial space sector.
Market volatility or regulatory hurdles could hinder SpaceX's IPO, leading to a valuation significantly below the anticipated $1.75 trillion, or a delay in the offering.
