SpaceX stock plunges below IPO price, erasing all gains

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Hacker News ·

SpaceX shares fell below their IPO price in intraday trading on July 16, wiping out all gains since the company went public. The stock dropped to $42.50, below the $45 IPO price, amid broader market selloffs and concerns about Starlink's profitability. The decline marks a sharp reversal for the once-highflying space company.
