SpaceX Is Back Above Its IPO Price. Is It too Late to Buy the Stock?

Published August 13, 2026 · Category: Finance

Overview

Space Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX) is bouncing back. After dropping to as low as $104 per share, the stock has climbed back above its IPO price of $135, and shares are currently trading at $145 apiece. Some may regret not investing in the rocket company while they still had the chance, but has SpaceX really bottomed out? Let's find out.

Once the period expires, they are free to sell. Many investors believed that once SpaceX's insiders were legally allowed to sell their shares, they would do so in large quantities, putting downward pressure on the stock.
