SpaceX Stock Surges, Elon Musk Reclaims Trillionaire Status
6 Oct
Summary
- SpaceX stock jumped nearly 50% from recent lows, reaching $171.
- Options volume doubled, with $900 million in contracts traded.
- Analysts maintain strong price targets, with one at $300.
SpaceX's stock has experienced a significant rally, jumping nearly 50% from its recent lows to trade at $171. This surge has not only reclaimed its initial public offering price but also restored CEO Elon Musk's trillionaire status. The increased momentum has attracted considerable attention in the options market, with volume doubling to 1.7 million contracts worth $900 million on a recent Monday.
Analysts remain bullish on SpaceX, with Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas reiterating a $300 price target. This optimism is further bolstered by the company's successful delivery of four astronauts to the International Space Station in under eight hours, a record for its Falcon 9 rocket. Despite the strong upward movement, implied volatility is lower than during its June debut, suggesting a potentially longer-term ascent to new highs compared to its rapid rise post-IPO.
