- SpaceX's potential IPO is experiencing extremely high investor demand, reportedly oversubscribed by 3.5 to 4 times, with over $250 billion in interest for a $75 billion raise. This strong demand, particularly from long-only funds, signals robust investor appetite for high-profile tech and aerospace offerings. While not a direct indicator of the broader equity market, it suggests a healthy risk appetite among institutional investors, potentially benefiting other growth-oriented sectors.
Elon Musk's SpaceX (SPCX.O), opens new tab has drawn more than $250 billion of investor demand for what stands to be the largest-ever IPO, said people familiar with the matter on Tuesday, dwarfing the $75 billion the firm is seeking to raise.
The deal's oversubscription rate is running at three and a half to four times the planned offering size, sources said, which bankers and investors say is the latest sign that demand is strong, as Reuters reported on Friday. Long-only funds have put in what one source described as sizable orders. Musk briefly joined some Zoom meetings with potential investors, a source said.
