SpaceX Prepares for Record-Breaking IPO, Opening Shares to Retail Investors
SpaceX is set to launch its initial public offering this week, expected to be the largest IPO in history, raising approximately $75 billion at an expected share price of $135. The company is allocating an unusually large portion—up to 30% of shares—to retail investors through platforms including Charles Schwab, Fidelity, E*TRADE, Robinhood, and SoFi. The IPO values SpaceX at $1.77 trillion, making it larger than Tesla, Meta, and Berkshire Hathaway, and will give ordinary Americans direct access to one of the world's most prominent aerospace and AI companies.
SpaceX is preparing for what is expected to be the largest initial public offering in history, with shares scheduled to price on Thursday and begin trading Friday on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol 'SPCX.' The company expects to raise $75 billion, nearly three times the amount raised by Saudi Aramco's 2019 IPO, which previously held the record. SpaceX's offering values the company at $1.77 trillion, surpassing the market capitalizations of Tesla ($1.5 trillion), Meta ($1.4 trillion), and Berkshire Hathaway ($1.04 trillion). Notably, SpaceX is allocating an unusually large share of stock to retail investors—up to 30% according to Reuters reporting, three times the typical allocation. Retail investors can participate through five major platforms: Charles Schwab, E*TRADE by Morgan Stanley, Fidelity Investments, Robinhood, and SoFi, with high-net-worth individuals potentially accessing shares through additional banking institutions. After the IPO, SpaceX shares will be available for purchase on the open market, and the stock may eventually be included in index-based exchange-traded funds and 401(k) portfolios.

SpaceX IPO Makes Elon Musk World's First Trillionaire as Shares Surge 19% on Debut
SpaceX shares closed up 19% on their first trading day, pushing Elon Musk's net worth to approximately $1.11 trillion and making him the first individual in history to cross the trillion-dollar threshold. The company raised $75 billion at an IPO price of $135 per share, with shares closing near $161, giving SpaceX a market capitalization of roughly $2.1 trillion despite the company reporting a net loss of $4.94 billion in 2025. The milestone has drawn both investor enthusiasm and sharp criticism over Musk's social media conduct and concerns that the IPO's structure exploits passive index fund mechanics to extract wealth from ordinary retirement savers.
Delhi Power Bills to Rise for Some Consumers as Regulator Approves Higher Electricity Surcharge
Delhi's electricity regulator DERC has approved increased Power Purchase Adjustment Charges (PPAC) for distribution companies, raising bills for consumers in south, east, and central Delhi from July 2026. The hike follows a sharp rise in power procurement costs in April 2026, driven by higher summer demand and elevated fuel prices. The change also marks a structural shift from quarterly to monthly PPAC revisions, making electricity bills more responsive to real-time cost fluctuations.
SEC Proposes Repealing Rule 611 and Rule 610(e) of Regulation NMS
The Securities and Exchange Commission proposed on June 11, 2026, to rescind Rule 611 and Rule 610(e) of Regulation NMS, which govern trade-through protections and locking/crossing quotations in equity markets. Rule 611, in place for roughly two decades, requires trades to be executed at the best available price across exchanges. The proposal could reshape equity market structure and has implications for emerging areas such as tokenized stocks.
