Space Exploration Technologies Corp. Class A Common StockImpact on stocks 1
Space Exploration Technologies Corp. Class A Common StockSpace Exploration Technologies shares have slipped below their $135 IPO price to around $124, down roughly 45% from a post-debut high near $226, prompting some to view the decline as a contrarian buying opportunity. The slide is attributed more to fading hype and technical selling after index-fund demand was satisfied than to business deterioration, with a scrubbed Starship test flight also weighing on sentiment. Underlying growth continues, as the Starlink satellite-internet service now serves more than 10 million customers and has begun raising prices, while Deutsche Bank launched coverage with a buy rating and a $255 target. Even after the drop, the company carries a market value of $1.64 trillion, trading at more than 84 times sales, leaving the stock as a high-conviction, high-volatility holding rather than a value bargain.
