Earlier this year, Reuters\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/finance\/musk-rewrites-ipo-playbook-with-large-slice-spacex-stock-retail-investors-source-2026-03-26\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>\u00a0that as much as 30% of the shares of the rocket and AI company will go to individual investors, three times the usual allocation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX shares are scheduled to price on Thursday and begin trading the following day on the Nasdaq Composite Index under the ticker symbol &#8220;SPCX,&#8221; according to SpaceX&#8217;s IPO <a href=\"https:\/\/spacexipo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX said in a recent regulatory\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1181412\/000162828026040364\/spaceexplorationtechnologib.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">filing<\/a>\u00a0that it expects to price its shares at $135 each. However, the company could increase or decrease the price before trading begins, said Matthew Kennedy, a senior market strategist at Renaissance Capital, which tracks IPOs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The company expects to\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/spacex-initial-public-offering-elon-musk\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">raise $75 billion<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in the offering, nearly three times the amount raised when Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia&#8217;s state-owned national oil company, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/saudi-aramco-ipo-aramco-jumps-in-ipo-making-it-more-valuable-than-apple\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">went public in 2019<\/a><\/span>, in what remains the largest-ever IPO.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX&#8217;s offering would <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/spacex-ipo-biggest-ever-elon-musk-trillionaire\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">value it at $1.77 trillion<\/a><\/span>, larger than many major U.S. companies that have been around for years. That includes Musk&#8217;s electric car maker, Tesla, which has a market value of $1.5 trillion; Meta Platforms ($1.4 trillion); and Warren Buffett&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway ($1.04 trillion)<\/p>\n<h2>How do I buy SpaceX stock?<\/h2>\n<p>As SpaceX explains on its <a href=\"https:\/\/spacexipo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>, retail investors will need a brokerage account or a participating digital investing app to participate in the IPO.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Your brokerage account or investing app will confirm whether you&#8217;re eligible when you submit your request to participate,&#8221; SpaceX says on its website.<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX is offering shares to retail investors through Charles Schwab, E*TRADE by Morgan Stanley, Fidelity Investments, Robinhood and SoFi.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy of Renaissance Capital said that for most retail investors, those will be the five go-to platforms. High-net-worth individuals may also have access to the IPO through their own banking institution, he noted. &#8220;There might be some accredited investors that can access it through, say, JPMorgan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After SpaceX shares begin trading publicly, anyone can buy them on the open market. People with index-based exchange-traded funds may also soon find that SpaceX stock has been added to their investment portfolio, experts explained. That means Americans may eventually see exposure to SpaceX through their 401(k)s.<\/p>\n<p>Investors can normally access shares of a company before an IPO through so-called private-market transactions, which involve purchasing stock from an existing shareholder, such as a company employee. Participation is limited to accredited investors with certain asset thresholds, said Karthik Krishnan, an associate professor of finance at Northeastern University.<\/p>\n<p>However, at least two platforms for such secondary trades \u2014 Forge Global and Rainmaker Securities \u2014 said they are no longer offering access to SpaceX shares.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Opportunities for new private secondary transactions in SpaceX shares have become increasingly limited as market participants seek to hold their shares and shift attention to the company&#8217;s performance in the public markets,&#8221; Glen Anderson, CEO of Rainmaker Securities, told CBS News in an email.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Still, Ritter cautioned that such transactions can be complex, amplifying the risks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this point, I would recommend, if you&#8217;re not already an experienced investor on those platforms, this is not the time to start,&#8221; he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>How do I buy SpaceX shares through a brokerage account?<\/h2>\n<p>Each brokerage platform offers its own instructions for how retail investors can participate in SpaceX&#8217;s IPO. That generally involves setting up an investor profile, confirming your eligibility and submitting a request for the number of shares you want to buy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So you might say I want to buy up to 100 shares. Then the day before the company begins trading, you will get a confirmation,&#8221; Kennedy said. &#8220;You&#8217;ll have to confirm that you&#8217;d still like to buy up to 100 shares, and then the morning of the deal, the morning of the listing, you&#8217;ll either get 100 shares or less.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As some brokerage sites note, requesting shares doesn&#8217;t guarantee you will receive them \u2014 availability depends on supply.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you ask for 100 shares, maybe you&#8217;ll get 100,&#8221; said Jay Ritter, a professor and Director of The IPO Initiative at the University of Florida. &#8220;More likely&#8230; you&#8217;ll probably only get a fraction of the shares that you asked for.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here are the requirements for buying SpaceX shares after it goes public, according to leading brokerage firms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schwab.com\/learn\/story\/how-to-invest-in-ipos-at-schwab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charles Schwab<\/a>.

The digital finance company said anyone with an active investing account is eligible to participate in the IPO, with no minimum account balance required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How many SpaceX shares will be available for average investors?<\/h2>\n<p>According to a recent SEC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1181412\/000162828026040364\/spaceexplorationtechnologib.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">filing<\/a>, SpaceX is offering 555,555,555 class A common shares as part of its &#8220;public float,&#8221; the number of shares a company makes available for public trading. That&#8217;s about 4.25% of the company&#8217;s total stock.<\/p>\n<p>Reuters, citing a person familiar with the matter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/finance\/musk-rewrites-ipo-playbook-with-large-slice-spacex-stock-retail-investors-source-2026-03-26\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> in late May that as much as 30% of SpaceX&#8217;s IPO could be set aside for retail investors. The remaining 70% would go to large institutional money managers such as hedge funds or mutual fund managers, according to Kennedy.<\/p>\n<h2>Is hopping on the bandwagon a good idea?<\/h2>\n<p>Getting in early on SpaceX shares could yield higher returns, according to Ritter&#8217;s research, which analyzed more than 9,200 IPOs from 1980 to 2024. The average return for a newly public company on its first day of trading is about 19%, he found.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet such investments are far riskier over the long term. The average three-year market-adjusted return for investors who buy shares at the closing price on a company&#8217;s first day of trading is -21%, according to Ritter&#8217;s research.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy said it may be wiser for investors to wait and see how SpaceX&#8217;s stock trades before taking the plunge, noting that shares can be volatile in the days immediately following an IPO.<\/p>\n<p>Morningstar also thinks investors may be better off biding their time. The global investment research firm said in a research <a href=\"https:\/\/global.morningstar.com\/en-nd\/stocks\/spacex-what-investors-need-know-about-its-enormous-upcoming-ipo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">note<\/a> earlier this month that it believes SpaceX has been &#8220;significantly overvalued&#8221; and that investors will have a chance to buy stock at &#8220;more attractive levels&#8221; after the IPO.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/alain-sherter\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Alain  Sherter<\/a>\n                      <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n        <\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/spacex-ipo-how-to-buy-stock\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SpaceX is set this week to launch as a publicly traded company, giving ordinary investors a chance to participate in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84370,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[703,834],"class_list":["post-84369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-money-watch","tag-elon-musk","tag-spacex"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to buy SpaceX shares as its blockbuster IPO readies for liftoff - World News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SpaceX is setting aside a large chunk of shares for ordinary investors as it seeks to raise a record $75 billion.
