The rocket maker's $75 billion offering — the largest IPO in history — hits the Nasdaq as oil prices fall on reports of a U.S.-Iran agreement

SpaceX’s shares are set to begin trading on the Nasdaq on Friday, with the company having raised $75 billion at a valuation of $1.77 trillion.

Hedge funds sold out of the biggest U.S. tech stocks, and some even added ‌bearish positions, according to data from a JPMorgan note late ‌Thursday, just before SpaceX was set to go public on Friday. Shares in the "Magnificent Seven" -- ​a group that includes some of the biggest tech names on Wall Street, namely Nvidia, Apple, Amazon.com, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla, and Microsoft, have all declined since last Friday. The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF, which tracks these ‌stocks closely, declined over 2.4% ⁠since June 5, with some analysts saying investors were clearing their decks in order to prepare for the ⁠debut of Elon Musk's Space X on Friday.

The float could make Tesla and X owner Elon Musk the world’s first paper trillionaire.

SpaceX is set to begin trading on Nasdaq on Friday after investors poured $75 billion into the world's biggest IPO ever, betting that Elon Musk's lofty space, communications and AI ambitions can justify a $1.77 trillion valuation. The landmark listing cemented Musk's status as the first trillionaire ever and ‌propelled SpaceX into the ranks of the world's most valuable companies - even though the firm posted a loss of nearly $5 billion last year and generated only a fraction of ‌the revenue brought in by similarly valued tech giants. The stock's performance will be a test for the so-called "Musk premium," which has been the force behind Tesla's $1 trillion-plus valuation.

SpaceX needs to capitalize on one key opportunity to justify its IPO valuation.

<body><p>STORY: SpaceX has officially priced its stock market listing at $135 per share.</p><p>The IPO has raised a record $75 billion for the rockets and AI firm, and sees it valued at $1.77 trillion.</p><p>That immediately makes it one of the world’s most valuable firms, and makes founder Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire.</p><p>Shares in the company will now begin trading Friday (June 12) on the Nasdaq.</p><p>Whether $135 is the right price, however, that’s another matter.</p><p>Morningstar analyst Nicolas Owens is among those who think&nbsp;it looks high:</p><p>“We value it at $63 a share, which is the blended average of a range of scenarios that can be as high as $154 if you believe everything will go right and data centers in space are highly competitive. Or as low as a $40 a share if you really are just getting the rockets and Starlink, and the AI doesn't work out, so to speak.”</p><p>Owens says everything will have to go perfectly for SpaceX in future years to justify the sky-high valuation.</p><p>That includes its pledge to dominate industries that don’t even exist yet, such as data centers in space.</p><p>If the share price does fall, many small investors will feel the pain, with 30% of the offering reserved for retail buyers.</p><p>That’s far more than normal for a major IPO, and likely a move to capitalize on Musk’s cult-like following.</p><p>Morningstar’s Owens argues investors should wait to see how the company fares:&nbsp;</p><p>"Everyone will be monitoring these operational milestones around Starship reusability, the commercial model for data centers in space.
