Retail investors could be key to SpaceX, other IPOs, says expert

April 21, 2026

STORY: SpaceX is moving ahead with plans for one of the most anticipated IPOs in history as it hosts analysts this week for three days of closed-door meetings at its launch facility in Texas and mega-sized data center in Tennessee, according to three people familiar with the matter.Elon Musk’s company is holding the briefings for Wall Street’s top aerospace and technology analysts as it looks to raise $75 billion, in an IPO that would be the world’s biggest ever, with executives targeting a late June trading debut.ChatGPT maker OpenAI and rival AI startup Anthropic are also part of the strong pipeline of high-profile companies lined up to enter public markets this year.Their success will hinge on whether “markets stay strong enough for investors to absorb the size of those three deals,” said Scheif, who added that access to shares through 401k plans would also help shore up demand.
