Across the most recent 2 stories covering Capital.com — 100% negative sentiment, averaging 6.5/10 impact.
This entity profile aggregates every story where the entity meets our minimum relevance
threshold before it is linked here — a story naming this entity only in passing, as
competitive context for an unrelated subject, does not qualify. That threshold exists
because earlier testing surfaced entity pages cluttered with tangential mentions: a story
about two unrelated companies merging could otherwise populate a third company's page
simply because it was named once for comparison, with no real event of its own. The
timeline below reflects genuine milestones and developments specific to this entity,
cross-referenced against the same source-verification standard applied to every story on
this site. Sentiment measures the directional read of each development for this entity
specifically, not the overall tone of the reporting, and impact weights how consequential
a development is rather than how widely it was syndicated across outlets.
Figures are computed live from our source-verified story record — see our methodology for how impact and
sentiment are derived.
Timeline
13th Starship Test Flight Scheduled
SpaceX's next Starship test mission is set to take place, a potential catalyst for the stock and the space industry.
Sharp Descent and Starship Delay
Stock closes at $131.11, down over 3%, and tumbles to $124 in after-hours trading after the company postpones the first post-IPO Starship launch.
Stock Dips Below $135 IPO Price
For the first time, shares dip to $132.15 intraday and close at $135.27, marking a fourth consecutive down session.
Breaches IPO Price
Shares briefly fall below $135 intraday for the first time, closing at $135.27 (or $134 per some sources), wiping out all post-IPO gains.
Shares Slip Below First Trade Price
SpaceX stock falls below the $150 first trade price a day after joining the Nasdaq-100.
SpaceX Joins Nasdaq-100 Index
The stock is added to the index after a rule change shortens the eligibility period to 15 trading days for newly public companies.
Index Inclusion
SpaceX added to the Nasdaq 100 and Russell 1000 indexes; despite the passive buying, shares continue to decline.
All-Time High
Stock reaches peak of $225.64, pushing market valuation above $2.6 trillion and making Elon Musk the first trillionaire.
Trading Debut
Shares open at $150 on Nasdaq, surge to $193 intraday, closing up 19% with market cap briefly exceeding $2 trillion.
Record IPO Priced
SpaceX prices its initial public offering at $135 per share, raising $86 billion, the largest IPO ever.
SpaceX Raises Record $86 Billion in IPO
SpaceX sells shares at $135 each, with first trade price at $150, valuing the company at around $2.6 trillion at peak.
50% Surge in First Three Trading Days
Shares jump as much as 50% from the IPO price during initial trading, fueled by intense retail and institutional demand.
SpaceX shares fell below $135 for the first time since its June IPO, with a Starship launch delay accelerating the decline. For the space and defense sector, the sell-off threatens the capital-intensive vision behind Starlink, lunar contracts, and Pentagon launch reliance.
As SpaceX's stock falls below its $135 IPO price for the first time, market cap drops 34% to $1.75 trillion, casting a shadow over the upcoming 13th Starship test flight. The volatility highlights the tension between ambitious deep-space engineering and public market expectations.
