SpaceX stock falls below IPO price as analysts push it
SpaceX shares have dropped below their debut price, and the whole bullish Wall Street push looks shaky for anyone thinking of buying in.
- SpaceX stock now trades below its IPO price, so first-day buyers are already losing money, even after joining the Nasdaq 100.
- Wall Street analysts are slapping "strong buy" ratings and wild price targets on it, from Morgan Stanley's $217–300 up to Raymond James at $800.
- The pitch rests on "orbital data centers" in space and a new AI push, but the hard problems — cooling, power, maintenance, space debris — get glossed over.
- One underwriter's own report admits the company won't turn cash-flow positive until 2035 and needs about $84 billion a year in outside money through 2034.
- If debt markets won't fund that cash burn, SpaceX may have to dump more stock or slow its plans.
Outlook: Expect more price swings, and a likely rocket failure at some point that knocks the stock down hard on the day.
