Article Summary

HOLD
  • Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SPCX) fell 4% on Thursday, extending losses for a second straight day after SPCX's record-breaking IPO just six days earlier, amid heavy profit-taking following a debut rally that briefly pushed the stock above $225 and valued SPCX near $3 trillion at its peak.
  • Despite the selloff, the company received investment-grade credit ratings from three major agencies on the same day, highlighting Wall Street's confidence in its dominant position in commercial space launch and rapidly scaling Starlink connectivity business, with Fitch citing commanding lead in commercial launch for BBB+ rating, S&P Global Ratings assigning 'BBB' Issuer Credit Rating with Stable Outlook, and Moody's assigning Baa1 long-term issuer rating equivalent to BBB+, with Moody's praising SpaceX's exceptional franchise strength as world's leading orbital launch provider and operator of largest LEO broadband network.
