United StatesAs the lockup period for SpaceX shares ended, insiders, including employees and early investors, were allowed to sell up to 911.5 million shares, potentially increasing market supply and putting downward pressure on the stock price. This follows SpaceX's initial public offering (IPO), during which the number of tradable shares rose from around 639 million to 1.55 billion. However, another portion of shares remains restricted due to the current stock price being below the IPO price of $135. Financial advisors note that this represents the first major opportunity for insiders to convert their stock holdings into liquid cash. Meanwhile, real estate experts report growing demand from SpaceX employees for luxury properties in areas near the company's headquarters, reminiscent of trends after Facebook's 2012 IPO. Despite this, SpaceX's stock has faced significant declines, dropping over 50% from its peak, partly due to disappointing investor expectations from its first public earnings call.
