FTSE Russell Clears SpaceX for Early Index Inclusion Ahead of Record IPO
FTSE Russell approved SpaceX for index inclusion after its fifth day of trading, an early-entry decision that comes as the company prepares what is expected to be the largest listing on record. Shares of US-listed space companies rose, extending gains as investors bet the IPO could reset public-market valuation benchmarks for the broader space economy.
The heightened focus follows a prospectus that outlined an expected valuation of about $1.75 trillion, $4.7 billion in first-quarter revenue and a $4.3 billion loss. The filing showed a business still heavily reliant on Starlink while pitching future growth from launches, AI infrastructure, orbital cloud computing and lunar projects, leaving investors and index providers to assess how to value a company whose market debut would be unprecedented in modern listings.
