Elon Musk's SpaceX just watched its stock plummet over 12% to hover around $109 per share. The timing matters here. A massive $109 billion block of shares unlocked today, flooding the market with fresh supply right when investors are already jittery about the company's cash burn.
The sell-off stings more because SpaceX just reported solid revenue growth. That should have been bullish. Instead, traders are fixating on two things eating into future profits. The company is throwing enormous sums at AI infrastructure, and that appetite for capital shows no signs of slowing. Couple that with a $109 billion share unlock, and the math gets ugly fast for anyone holding the stock.
Large unlocks typically trigger waves of selling as early investors and insiders cash out. The timing here is brutal. SpaceX faces mounting pressure to prove that its revenue gains can actually outpace its spending plans. Right now, the market is pricing in skepticism on that front.
SPCX fell 12% as the unlock hit, erasing recent gains in a single session.
