Retail investors may have a chance to participate in the SpaceX IPO, with up to 30% of shares available to them. The stock's low float of 3.75% could lead to price increases, as typically 75% of IPOs rise on their first trading day. SpaceX, valued at around $2 trillion, is also exploring index inclusion despite standard float requirements. Investors should be cautious of lock-up periods that may affect share availability post-IPO. SpaceX's revenue largely comes from its Starlink satellite internet service, which constitutes 50-80% of its income.
