SpaceX’s market debut saw individual investors purchase a net $117.6 million on day one, outpacing Coinbase’s $92 million in April 2021. This unparalleled retail demand underscores the strength of individual investor interest in one of the year’s most anticipated IPOs.
On its first trading day, SpaceX captured 56% of total single-stock retail net buying, which amounted to $209.3 million across all stocks. The following Monday, retail inflows totaled $93.8 million—about 73% of single-stock net buying—continuing the intense focus on SpaceX.
SpaceX opened at $150 on Friday and climbed 7% that session, then surged another 19.6% on Monday to close at $192.50. The stock’s sharp gains reflect robust retail demand, raising questions about sustainability and potential rotation of funds from other trades.
