Integrity Asset Management noted that investors rebalanced their portfolios in advance to position themselves for this IPO, which not only diverted funds and attention from the space industry but also indirectly weighed on the performance of other high-growth momentum stocks.Historical patterns show that after major giants go public, the broader market often undergoes a correction, liquidity tightens, and siphon and stampede effects frequently occur. During Facebook's IPO, technical failures in the Nasdaq trading system exacerbated market panic, and capital flooded into the stock, causing severe damage to peer social media and internet stocks.Vanda Research further pointed out that many positions in Rocket Lab, Redwire, and other targets taken by retail investors in recent months were merely transitional holdings ahead of the SpaceX IPO, with a high probability of gradually shifting to the underlying stock later.Interactive Brokers analysis suggests that small- and mid-cap space stocks, which previously rose on industry hype, are facing sustained pressure as attention and capital shift toward the high-profile IPO. Notably, SpaceX's current valuation has reached approximately 100 times its annual revenue, the company remains in a loss-making phase, and competition in the AI business is intense; thus, the highly speculative nature of the space sector as a whole has not changed.Find out more</div>

Competitor Rocket Lab fell 13%, while Virgin Galactic, Firefly Aerospace, AST SpaceMobile, and Redwire dropped significantly. Investors rebalanced portfolios ahead of the IPO, diverting capital from smaller peers. Analysts note this mirrors historical patterns where major IPOs tighten liquidity and pressure high-growth momentum stocks, with retail investors shifting positions toward SpaceX despite its speculative nature.
