SpaceX Stock: Wall Street's Starry Road Hits a Snag
724FinanceEge Kaan
SpaceX stock's sudden decline reveals the collapse of Wall Street's overly optimistic projections on its most celebrated IPO. Among 17 banks, only Morgan Stanley's $300 target exceeded the others by 90%, while Raymond James' 400% target was outright absurd. Shares fell below the $135 IPO price, reaching $125, marking a 'bad timing' moment in the sixth day of SpaceX's $75 billion IPO, which yielded a 0.66% commission. Markets are now reassessing the risks of such extreme forecasts.
SpaceX's decline will likely temper corporate analysts' long-term expectations, prompting a more cautious approach to future IPOs.
