SpaceX Stock Erases Its Post-IPO Rally After Starship Scrub

SpaceX priced its IPO at $135, watched shares clear $225, then watched them slide back 42% once Flight 13 stalled on the pad.

  • IPO priced shares at $135; stock peaked above $225 in early trading.
  • Shares have since fallen roughly 42% from that peak, nearing IPO price.
  • Starship Flight 13 scrubbed July 16 on Raptor engine ignition failures at the pad.

Why it matters: Every scrub before this one cost only Musk; this one cost public shareholders as well.
