SpaceX stock trades under the ticker SPCX as Space Exploration Technologies Corp., listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (exchange code NMS) since its June 2026 initial public offering. The quote above shows the last price in US dollars, the change from the previous close and the session’s trading range, with the price source and timestamp beside it.

How to read the SPCX quote

Last price and change. The headline number is the most recent trade price. The percentage beside it compares that price with the previous close, the official final price of the prior regular session. A timestamp of 21:00 UTC corresponds to the 4:00 p.m. Eastern close during US standard time, so a quote stamped then reflects the regular-session close rather than after-hours trading.

Day range. The day range gives the lowest and highest trade prices of the current or most recent session. A wide day range relative to the price signals an unsettled session, regardless of where the stock finished.

52-week range. For SPCX this range currently spans trading since the IPO. The all-time high above $225 came a few days after the listing, so for now the top of the range is also the post-IPO peak.

Volume. Volume is the number of shares that changed hands in the session. It is most informative compared with the stock’s own typical volume: a large price move on heavy volume reflects broad participation, while the same move on thin volume can reverse more easily.

Period returns. The 1D to 1Y figures are simple price changes over each window and exclude dividends. Until the stock has traded a full year, the 1Y figure covers only the period since listing. For a return on your own position, apply the return on investment formula to your purchase price and costs.

VWAP and market value. Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) is the session’s average trade price weighted by shares traded. Traders use it as an intraday benchmark for whether they bought above or below the day’s average. Market capitalization equals the share price multiplied by shares outstanding; at its listing, SpaceX ranked among the largest US companies by that measure.

What SpaceX is

SpaceX runs three connected businesses:

1. Launch. Falcon 9 carries satellites and crews to orbit; Starship, a fully reusable heavy rocket, is still in flight testing. Reusability lowers the cost per flight and lets the company raise its launch rate without a matching rise in capital spending.
2. Starlink. This satellite broadband network relies on SpaceX’s own cheap, frequent launches to deploy at scale.
3. AI. The company offers the Grok chatbot, operates the Colossus data center and acquired the AI coding startup Cursor after the IPO. Its planned orbital data centers depend on Starship working at scale.

Elon Musk is chief executive, and his public statements can affect sentiment toward the stock.

What moves SpaceX stock

Earnings and share supply

As a newly public company, SpaceX builds its reporting record one quarter at a time. Each report tests revenue growth in Starlink and AI against spending on Starship and data centers.

The IPO prospectus also set lock-up agreements that barred employees and early investors from selling. Their release was scheduled in stages, with the first covering about 911.5 million shares and tied to the second trading day after the company’s first earnings report. When a lock-up expires, the number of sellable shares rises, which can weigh on the price around those dates even if no shares are sold.

Operational milestones

Scrubbed launches, aborted or successful Starship tests, Starlink growth and new AI deals feed directly into how investors value future revenue. Because a large share of the valuation rests on businesses that are not yet at scale, news about Starship tends to have an outsized effect relative to its current revenue.

Analyst ratings and price targets

Coverage started around the IPO with ratings from neutral to outperform. Bull cases rest on Starship economics, AI revenue and further acquisitions, with at least one target built on 2028 revenue estimates, the first year analysts expected all three businesses to scale together. The main risk cited is cash burn: the company could need more capital before its newer markets prove durable. The neutral view held that the valuation required premium multiples on very aggressive growth assumptions.

A price target is an analyst’s estimate for roughly the next 12 months, not a forecast the market must meet. Rating and target changes often move the stock on the day they are published.

Index membership and market mood

SpaceX has been added to major benchmark indexes, so index funds and ETFs that track them hold the stock. Index additions create buying on the rebalancing date. After that, SPCX moves partly with broad risk appetite for AI and growth stocks. Comparing its chart with the S&P 500 or with AI infrastructure names such as CoreWeave helps separate company-specific moves from market-wide ones.

Practical caveats

• Short history. Ranges, period returns and technical indicators are built on only months of data, so they are less reliable than for long-listed stocks.
• Volatility. The stock lost nearly half its value from the post-IPO high within weeks. A loss that large requires a gain of close to 100% to recover.
• Ticker and venue. SPCX is the Nasdaq listing. Before trading, confirm that your broker shows Space Exploration Technologies Corp. and the NMS exchange, not a similarly named security on another venue.
• Indirect exposure. If you own a broad index fund that includes SpaceX, part of your portfolio already moves with SPCX.
