Overview

Space Exploration Technologies' (NASDAQ: SPCX) initial public offering showed how quickly investors can pile into a well-known technology leader once its shares become publicly available. The tech company priced its IPO at $135 per share, aiming to raise about $75 billion. The total later increased to about $85.7 billion after underwriters exercised their option to buy additional shares.

The stock opened at $150, already 11% above the IPO price, and closed its first trading day at $160.95, giving IPO investors a nearly 19% day-one gain.
