SpaceX hits IPO low at $110.85 as investors watch next Starship launch window

U.S. space stocks moved lower on July 23, with SpaceX (SPCX) falling 2.7% and touching $110.85, its lowest level since its IPO, according to market data from BIT (bit.com). The pullback came as investors focused on the company’s next launch attempt, which is scheduled for July 24 between 6:45 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. Beijing time. The upcoming window has drawn attention after Starship Flight 13 automatically aborted about one second before leaving the launch pad following ignition on the morning of July 17. Other names in the sector also declined during the session: Virgin Galactic (SPCE) fell 2.8%, AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) dropped 6.1%, and Rocket Lab (RKLB) lost 3.6%. The move points to broad weakness across space-related U.S. equities while traders keep a close eye on SpaceX’s next launch result.

Rocket Lab gains 5.14% and adds more after hours, while SpaceX snaps a seven-day losing streak

Rocket Lab and SpaceX both moved higher on July 22, according to market data from BIT (bit.com), as investors tracked fresh contract news and upcoming corporate disclosures. Rocket Lab (RKLB) closed up 5.14% and rose more than 7% again in after-hours trading. The move came after the company secured a $266 million contract from the U.S. Air Force covering 12 suborbital launch vehicle missions, with options for six additional launches. Those launches are set to take place in Alaska and are expected to be completed by the end of 2028. SpaceX also climbed more than 3%, ending a seven-session daily losing streak, and added another 1.3% after the close. The company is scheduled to release its second-quarter 2026 earnings on Aug. 4 and will hold a webcast for the results. Market attention is currently centered on the next Starship test flight. The price action in both names put space-related U.S. stocks back in focus during the session.

Musk says next Starship launch attempt is set for Friday

Elon Musk said in a post on X on July 20 that the SpaceX team had done "excellent work" and that the next launch attempt for Starship is scheduled for this Friday. The update was carried by BlockBeats as a 7x24 news flash. No additional launch details were provided in the brief. The statement only indicated the planned timing for the next attempt and credited the SpaceX team for its performance.

SpaceX Falls Below IPO Price as More Than $1 Trillion in Market Value Evaporates From Peak

SpaceX shares fell 5.4% on Friday to close at $123.99, pushing the company below its $135 IPO price and cutting its market capitalization to $1.63 trillion. That leaves the stock down by more than $1 trillion in market value from the $2.64 trillion peak it reached on June 16, the third trading day after listing. The latest selloff followed an aborted Starship launch after some engines failed to ignite. Investors are now reassessing valuation after what several analysts described as a difficult moment for the company’s narrative. Integrity Asset Management portfolio manager Joe Gilbert said the failed launch came at a bad time, though he added that setbacks are part of the story investors signed up for. At the same time, Wall Street remains broadly constructive: Bloomberg data show more than 80% of analysts still rate the stock a buy or equivalent, with an average target price of $235.34. Still, pressure is building from several directions. SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 earlier this month, while insider lockups are set to expire over the coming months, potentially increasing the share supply. The stock’s decline is also raising new questions about whether high-valuation AI-linked IPOs can keep their momentum once trading begins.

SpaceX falls another 4.6% premarket, slipping below its $135 issue price

SpaceX extended its decline on July 17, falling another 4.6% in premarket trading, according to market data from BIT (bit.com). The stock was quoted at $125, putting it below its $135 issue price. The move came as the company’s Starship rocket halted its launch attempt before liftoff. The report ties the latest premarket weakness to that launch update, while data cited by BlockBeats shows the decline was already continuing from earlier losses. No additional figures or trading details were disclosed in the source report.

SpaceX eyes up to 1 million satellites for orbital AI data center buildout

SpaceX plans to send as many as 1 million satellites into orbit to build an AI data center in space, according to Techub News, which cited CryptoBriefing. The project would rely on the company’s Starship rocket to enable frequent launches at lower cost. SpaceX is aiming to begin deploying satellites by the end of 2027 and reach a launch cadence of once per hour in 2028. The report says the company filed an application with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in late January 2026. The proposed satellites would be equipped with large solar arrays, with a target of delivering about 100 GW of annual computing capacity. CryptoBriefing said that if Starship can achieve reliable high-frequency launches before mid-2027, the economics of orbital computing could reshape decentralized networks and the crypto mining sector. The report did not provide further details beyond the filing timeline, deployment goals, and projected computing capacity.

SpaceX aborts 13th Starship test launch as SPCX falls below IPO price

SpaceX called off the 13th test flight of Starship on July 16 after some engines failed to start, setting off the rocket’s automatic launch abort system while the vehicle remained on the pad in South Texas. Elon Musk later confirmed the issue on X, saying propellant was being offloaded and that the next launch attempt could come in a few days. The delay mattered beyond the launch schedule. This mission had been set to mark the first Starship flight carrying a meaningful payload: 20 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites. According to the planned flight profile, the satellites would have deployed solar panels and antennas, attempted communications with Starlink satellites already in orbit, and then disintegrated on atmospheric reentry about 20 minutes after deployment. The scrub also hit SpaceX in the market. Shares of SPCX fell more than 3% in after-hours trading on July 16, slipping below the company’s $135 IPO price for the first time. ABMedia said SpaceX listed on June 12, 2026, raising $75 billion to $85.7 billion in what it described as the largest initial public offering in U.S. history. The stock has now entered a five-session correction, according to the report.

SpaceX Scraps Starship Test Flight as SPCX Closes Below IPO Level for the First Time

SpaceX called off a major Starship test flight during its 13th launch attempt in Texas, aborting the mission at the last moment before liftoff. Elon Musk said some engines failed to ignite, triggering an automatic shutdown of the launch sequence, while propellant is now being unloaded. The company may try again in the coming days. Market reaction was swift. According to BIT (bit.com) market data, SpaceX-linked SPCX fell 3.1% to close at $131.11, marking its first close below its IPO price, and dropped more than 3% again in after-hours trading. The sell-off spread across U.S.-listed space stocks, with Virgin Galactic, AST SpaceMobile, Rocket Lab, and Redwire all posting losses, led by a 17.04% drop in ASTS.
