Only 4% of SpaceX Shares Trade Right Now. By December, That Number Could Be 40%. Here's What That Supply Boost Means for Investors
Yahoo Finance ·
Space Exploration Technologies ( SPCX 0.75% ) , also known as SpaceX, had the biggest initial public offering (IPO) ever last month, raising more than $86 billion. But the company is worth $2.1 trillion today, which means only 4% of the stock is currently trading on the market. Let's check out what that means, why it's soon going to change, and how much SpaceX stock will be on the market before the year is up. Any stock's total value includes shares available for trading on the open market as well as shares held by company insiders. When people talk about someone's "net worth," much of it is often tied up in company stock. SpaceX founder Elon Musk, for example, has a net worth of just under $1 trillion right now. That fluctuates depending on the price of SpaceX stock, since he owns a lot of it and, with class B shares, has more than 80% voting rights. Under the company's lockup rules, he can't sell any stock for 366 days after the IPO, so even if he does sell, it won't be until next June. The remaining stock after the 4% on the market and Musk's shares is locked up with SpaceX insiders, and there's a staggered lockup period before they can sell their stock.
