SpaceX is about to start trading on the Nasdaq after raising a record-breaking $75 billion. Excitement is through the roof, and it's already dragging other space-related stocks up with it.

## Idea

When a massive company goes public, it shines a spotlight on its entire industry. SpaceX is debuting at a $1.8 trillion valuation, and investors who can't get shares in the IPO are looking to buy into similar companies to ride the wave. We are already seeing space stocks surge on this halo effect. By buying smaller space and satellite companies, traders can capture the spillover excitement without having to fight the chaos of the IPO itself.
