AMZN•SpaceX’s stock soared 67% from its $135 IPO to $225.64, lifting its market cap to $2.97T and edging past Amazon’s $2.65T valuation. Elon Musk’s fortune topped $1.4T, a $100B daily gain, underscoring SpaceX’s rapid ascent to the US market-cap leaderboard.
SpaceX rallied from its $135 IPO price, hitting $225.64 at Tuesday’s high, a 67% gain that added nearly $1 trillion in market value and pushed its total valuation to $2.97 trillion in just days of trading.
Amazon’s market capitalization stood at $2.65 trillion when SpaceX briefly overtook Microsoft and comfortably surpassed Amazon, moving Amazon to fifth place among US public companies behind Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple and SpaceX.
Elon Musk’s net worth climbed above $1.4 trillion after the SpaceX surge, a $100 billion increase in a single day, meaning he could lose nearly $1 trillion and still remain the world’s richest individual.
