SpaceX is moving ahead with plans for an initial public offering that would seek to raise significantly more than $30 billion, people familiar with the matter said, in a transaction that would make it the biggest listing of all time.
The Elon Musk-led company is targeting a valuation of about $1.5 trillion for the entire company, which would leave SpaceX near the market value that Saudi Aramco established during its record 2019 listing. The oil major raised $29 billion at the time.
SpaceX’s management and advisers are pursuing a listing as soon as mid-to-late 2026, said some of the people, who declined to be identified because the matter is confidential. The timing of the IPO could change based on market conditions and other factors, and one of the people said the timing could slip until 2027.
A representative for SpaceX didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Bloomberg and other media reported on Friday that SpaceX is exploring a possible IPO as soon as late next year. Musk and the company’s board of directors advanced plans for the listing and fundraising — including hiring for key roles and how it would spend the capital — in recent days as SpaceX firmed up its latest insider share sale, one of the people said.
SpaceX’s faster path to public markets is in parts fueled by the strength of its fast-growing Starlink satellite internet service, including the promise of a direct-to-mobile business, as well as the development of its Starship moon and Mars rocket.
