The analysts argued SpaceX’s Starlink revenue could realistically hit $129 billion, not the combined $1.6 trillion SpaceX projected from Starlink’s mobile and broadband businesses, and that a disconnect between “hype and fundamentals” indicates traders should wait to invest after the initial offering. “Big Short” investor Michael Burry wrote earlier this month there was “nothing” in SpaceX’s IPO filing to suggest the company is worth $1 trillion, “let alone $2 trillion.” Jay Ritter, a finance professor at the University of Florida, told Forbes that SpaceX’s stock will likely be influenced by the “Elon Musk effect,” as broader hype surrounding its CEO will boost the IPO and then fuel long-term volatility. everything elizabeth warren said in her letter about spacex’s ipo “The massive size of the SpaceX IPO alone, under normal circumstances, would justify careful SEC review and attention to investor needs. But these are not normal circumstances: a number of additional factors exacerbate concerns and require action by the SEC to meet its investor protection and market integrity mandates by delaying the IPO. “Before the company is allowed to go public, the SEC must investigate whether index funds and other financial entities involved in SpaceX’s IPO are adequately protecting investors, and the company must fill disclosure gaps related to valuation, ensure risks and details related to its concentrated governance structure are clear to investors, and abandon mandatory arbitration to provide shareholders whose rights are otherwise gutted in this structure a minimum avenue for recourse. “[Market] analysts have raised concerns about the math underlying SpaceX’s target valuation, calling it ‘nonsensical,’ ‘smoke-and-mirrors accounting,’ and ‘truly out of this world.’ “Publicly traded companies are meant to be accountable to their shareholders. The SpaceX IPO will flip this model on its head, with shareholders providing billions of dollars in new capital with no accountability measures for Mr. Musk or company leadership, as the company ‘[combines] supervoting shares, mandatory arbitration, stricter rules on shareholder proposals and Texas corporate law to give control to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and other insiders.’ “[The] SpaceX IPO creates a new concern: that major stock market indexes are being rigged in a way that would force millions of investors in passive index funds – a generally lower-cost investment option that can be attractive to retail investors – to invest in SpaceX and face exposure to SpaceX’s significant risks with no choice in the matter.” what do we know about spacex’s finances?
