According to CNBC, SpaceX plans to publicly release its IPO prospectus as early as next week, aiming to start a global roadshow on June 8 to formally introduce the deal to investors. The company secretly submitted its IPO application in April this year. This IPO is expected to become the largest in history. In February this year, SpaceX completed a merger with Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI, resulting in a post-merger entity valuation of $1.25 trillion. Reports indicate that the company's target fundraising scale for the IPO is about $70 billion to $75 billion, more than double the record set by Saudi Aramco in 2019. The expected valuation for the SpaceX IPO has risen from $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion.

As a result of this news, satellite and space concept stocks like Redwire, AST SpaceMobile, and Rocket Lab surged by 22.08%, 10.96%, and 6.77% respectively on the 14th.
