SEB Q2 Profit Rises on Strong Lending, Record Fee Income, Announces New Share Buyback 
SpaceX shares fell below their initial public offering (IPO) price for the first time on Wednesday, highlighting growing investor caution as the company's early post-listing momentum continues to fade. The stock dropped 2.2% to $133.02 during midday trading, slipping beneath its $135 IPO price set during last month's $86 billion public offering.
The decline extends a volatile trading period for the Elon Musk-led aerospace company. After surging nearly 50% within its first three trading sessions, SpaceX stock has surrendered much of those gains as investors reassess the company's financial outlook and broader market conditions.
Market participants are also watching the upcoming expiration of the first insider lockup period, which will occur after SpaceX releases its first quarterly earnings report as a publicly traded company. The end of these restrictions could increase selling pressure as early investors and company insiders become eligible to sell their shares.
Investor sentiment weakened further after SpaceX disclosed a net loss of $4.9 billion for the previous year, raising concerns about the company's timeline for achieving sustained profitability. At the same time, uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy and slowing enthusiasm for artificial intelligence-related stocks, particularly semiconductor companies, have added pressure to high-growth technology names.
Despite the recent pullback, SpaceX initially benefited from strong institutional demand following its rapid inclusion in major stock indexes. The company was added to the Russell 1000 Index shortly after its market debut and later joined the Nasdaq-100 after eligibility rules for newly listed large-cap companies were accelerated.
Even with shares trading below their IPO price, Wall Street analysts remain optimistic about the company's long-term growth potential. Raymond James recently issued one of the most bullish forecasts on the stock, assigning an $800 price target and signaling confidence that SpaceX can recover as it expands its commercial space, satellite, and technology businesses.
