SpaceX IPO: The Most Remarkable Debut in Years
At 37:19 · chapter starts 37:17
Kara runs through the numbers — SpaceX shares up around 50% from the IPO price, the company briefly hitting $2.5 trillion, surpassing Amazon to become the 5th largest company, and trading options volumes of 1.8 million contracts on day one. Bill Cohen, founding partner of Puck, joins via audio and frames SpaceX as a bundle: one great business (Starlink), one glamorous business (rockets), one lousy business (X and XAI), all wrapped in an astounding Wall Street-hyped valuation. Cohen credits Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley for engineering an $85 billion equity raise but warns the stock may have hit a minor peak, and that retail investors could end up holding the bag as lockups expire. [1] — Scott Galloway "Maybe we've hit a minor peak, and maybe as usual it'll be the retail investors that get left holding the bag here." 39:48
SpaceX IPO: 130x Revenue and Rising
SpaceX went public, surged 50% in its first days, and now trades at 130 times revenues — making it the 5th largest company, ahead of Amazon. At that multiple, buying Cursor at 15x revenues is actually accretive. Everything in the market now looks cheap by comparison.
