Goldman Sachs will serve as the lead left underwriter for SpaceX's upcoming initial public offering [1].
The selection marks a pivotal shift for the private aerospace company as it seeks to transition into a public entity. A successful listing would provide the capital necessary for expansive orbital goals and establish a new benchmark for company valuations in the global market.
Sources said the investment bank was selected on May 19, 2026 [1]. SpaceX intends to list its shares on the NASDAQ exchange in the U.S. [2]. This move follows a period of intense competition among Wall Street banks vying for the lead role in the offering [3].
The financial scale of the IPO is expected to be historic. SpaceX is targeting a valuation of more than $2 trillion [4]. To support its growth and operational requirements, the company aims to raise approximately $75 billion through the offering [4].
Goldman Sachs will manage the primary coordination of the IPO process, overseeing the pricing and distribution of shares. The bank's role as lead left underwriter means it will take the primary responsibility for the deal's execution and the majority of the underwriting risk.
The company's trajectory toward a public listing comes as it continues to dominate the launch market and expand its satellite internet capabilities. The capital injection of $75 billion [4] is expected to accelerate development of the company's next-generation spacecraft and infrastructure.
“Goldman Sachs will serve as the lead left underwriter for SpaceX's upcoming initial public offering.”
A $2 trillion valuation would place SpaceX among the most valuable companies in history, reflecting investor confidence in the commercialization of space. By choosing Goldman Sachs and targeting the NASDAQ, SpaceX is positioning itself as a cornerstone of the U.S. tech and industrial economy, shifting from a venture-backed disruptor to a systemic financial heavyweight.
