SpaceX, the space exploration company controlled by Elon Musk, saw its stock price skyrocket in the initial trading days following a highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO).
However, the initial euphoria has subsided, with the stock price returning to a more grounded orbit. Many investors who participated in the IPO are now facing losses as the share price has dropped more than a fifth from its highest point.
This significant price fluctuation has tested both Estonian and global investors. The article delves into the reasons behind this volatility, analyzing analyst price targets and contrasting opinions to present a picture that defies a simple 'buy or sell' narrative. The inclusion of SpaceX in the Nasdaq 100 index is noted as a factor automatically increasing demand, yet it hasn't prevented the substantial drop from the peak.
