ONE GIANT LEAP FOR WALL STREET

T-minus 24 hours to SpaceX liftoff

SpaceX’s $1.77 trillion IPO is set to become the largest in history this week, and, analysts say, among the most controversial. The IPO, which aims to raise $75 billion by selling 555 million shares at an offered price of $135 per share, starts trading on Friday, June 12, and will be listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker SPCX. Fortune’s Marco Quiroz-Gutierrez breaks down the bull case and the bear case for the stock.

Morningstar, however, has published analysis of the company aaaand … the news isn’t good. SpaceX stock is probably worth $63 per share, not the $135 issue price. And SpaceX's “addressable market” is maybe $129 billion, not the $1.6 trillion Musk claims in his S-1, Nicolas Owens and his colleagues say. See their notes here and here.
