SpaceX is moving closer to one of the most anticipated IPOs of the decade, giving investors early visibility into a company that has reshaped the global space and satellite industry. Its valuation has soared thanks to leadership in commercial launches, reusable rocket innovation, and rapid expansion of the Starlink satellite network. A public listing would give the company access to substantial new capital for scaling infrastructure, deep-space missions, and next-generation rocket development.

The potential IPO also comes at a time when demand for space-based connectivity and global broadband is accelerating, positioning SpaceX as one of the few companies capable of serving both commercial and government markets at scale. Retail investors have long shown interest in owning a piece of the company, and a 2026 listing could attract significant attention across public markets. If timelines hold, it may set the tone for a new wave of space-related investments.
