SpaceX is set to have the largest IPO in history on June 12, priced at $135 per share. Retail investors and massive global funds have placed orders totaling far more shares than are actually available, creating extreme hype.

## Idea

When a highly anticipated company goes public, investors who couldn't get shares often buy into related companies in the same industry instead. With SpaceX's IPO being more than four times oversubscribed, there is a massive pool of money looking for exposure to the space sector. This spillover demand tends to lift the stocks of established aerospace and satellite companies in the days immediately surrounding the debut.
