SpaceX, the aerospace manufacturer founded by Elon Musk, is reportedly preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) targeted for late 2026. The company has plans to achieve a mind-boggling $1.5 trillion dollar valuation. As noted according to The Information, this announcement underlines just how ambitious SpaceX is. Bloomberg likewise corroborated these changes in a story first published online December 9, 2025.
In addition to other messaging SpaceX has sent to investors outlining its plans, the firm plans to take the next steps on the IPO late in 2026. The company is in aggressive growth mode. In so doing, it is forging new paths in the exciting and rapidly growing space exploration industry. SpaceX has a wildly popular IP that may be best known for its satellite internet service, Starlink. The company’s newly unveiled plans for crewed missions to Mars emphasize its extraordinary trajectory and the vast market opportunity.
The Information’s exclusive report shows that SpaceX has begun preliminary discussions with potential investors about its upcoming IPO. This aggressive move demonstrates the company’s clear intent to establish its presence in the public market. Bloomberg’s coverage further corroborates this information, emphasizing the company’s goal to capitalize on its successes in recent years.
Under the visionary leadership of Elon Musk, SpaceX has quickly grown to become one of the foremost leaders in the aerospace industry. In his short time leading the company, they have done some amazing things. It successfully sent the first privately funded spacecraft to reach orbit and the first private company to send astronauts to the International Space Station.

A successful public offering would not only provide substantial capital for further innovations but could set a precedent for other private space companies considering similar paths.
