SpaceX is The Hottest IPO Ever - Here’s Everything Advisors Need To Know

SpaceX just filed to go public, and this isn't just another IPO — it's shaping up to be the biggest one in history. The company is targeting a valuation around $1.75 trillion and looking to raise as much as $75 billion, which would make it roughly three times the size of the largest U.S. IPO on record. It's set to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX, with June 12th cited as the expected listing date. And here's the part that matters most for advisors: a reported 30% of the float is being earmarked for retail investors — about three times the normal allocation for a mega-cap deal. That means your clients are going to be asking about this, and a lot of them are actually going to be able to get shares. So this episode of Talking Wealth is where we break down everything you need to know — the valuation, the financials, the AI piece that's driving billions in losses even as the legacy rocket and Starlink businesses throw off real EBITDA, how the lockups and index inclusion are going to work, and whether the risk-reward actually holds at this price. And to do that, I wanted to bring in someone who can see the whole pipe. Aaron Dillon [https://agdillon.com/about/] is the perfect guest for this because he's in private markets now — he's been living in the pre-IPO world where names like SpaceX change hands long before they ever hit an exchange — but he came up on the public side working with index providers. So he can speak to both sides of this thing: how a company this size gets valued before the IPO, and exactly what happens the moment it lists and the indexing machinery has to decide where it lands.
