SpaceX

World's leading launch provider and satellite constellation operator. SpaceX dominates the global launch market with over 130 Falcon 9 missions in 2025, operates the 7,000+ satellite Starlink broadband constellation, and is developing Starship as the most powerful rocket ever built. The company filed confidentially for an IPO in April 2026 targeting a $2T+ valuation, with secondary market trades implying ~$1.4T as of February 2026 ($603/share on Forge as of April 2026). SpaceX's reusable rocket technology has fundamentally restructured launch economics, reducing cost-per-kg to LEO by over 90% compared to legacy expendable vehicles.
