Summary
SpaceX's IPO launched with strong momentum, raising $75 billion and surging nearly 20% on its first trading day. The successful debut validated the company's enormous valuation and benefited Cathie Wood's ARK Invest, which had already made SpaceX the largest holding in its internal venture fund. The IPO defied skepticism about whether a rocket-and-satellite company could command AI-stock-style pricing.
