SpaceX shares slide below IPO price for the first time as blistering rally unravels

SpaceX shares dropped below their initial public offering price on Wednesday, a first for the company, just over a month after a frenzy over the rockets-to-AI firm powered the biggest IPO ever and made Elon ‌Musk the world's first trillionaire. Its shares slid 1.9% to $133.5, falling below the $135 apiece IPO price and well below the all-time ‌high of $225.64 that had propelled the company's market valuation briefly above those of Silicon Valley giants Microsoft and Amazon. The decline leaves investors who bought into the company ​at the IPO price sitting on paper losses for the first time, potentially testing confidence in the stock.

Chinese investors seeking shares in CXMT's $8.6 billion IPO are betting the Chinese chipmaker's valuation will soar as much as 10-fold after its Shanghai debut on the back of an AI-led upcycle and Beijing's ambition to be technologically self-sufficient. The share offering ‌by CXMT, or ChangXin Memory Technologies, will be Asia's biggest share sale so far this year. Wu Zhou, a fund manager at Shenzhen Deyuan Investment, said he will bid for new CXMT shares, betting that China's top memory chipmaker will ​one day take market share from global giants like South Korea's Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
