SpaceX pops 20% on record-breaking IPO — ride the debut momentum
Thesis
SpaceX is the most anticipated stock market debut in years. The sheer scale of the $75 billion raised and the instant 20% pop shows massive demand from investors wanting to own a piece of the space industry. With Elon Musk at the helm and the company instantly becoming one of the largest publicly traded companies in the world, there is likely strong momentum to carry the stock higher as more people gain access to buy it.
