Options market braces for $225 billion swing in SpaceX's value as earnings loom

Traders in the options market anticipate a significant swing of approximately $225 billion in the value of SpaceX shares ahead of its first-ever earnings report, reflecting investor anxiety about the company's financial health. The options market is pricing a roughly 15% movement in either direction, with a bearish bias, indicating expectations of a decline. SpaceX's shares have dropped 43% from their peak of $201.80 following its June 12 debut, though the company still maintains a $1.5 trillion market capitalization. Analysts note that the stock's volatility, limited trading history, and uncertainty around its earnings results have led to unusually high option prices. In comparison, Microsoft's options market anticipated a smaller 6.5% move. SpaceX is projected to report a $1.55 billion quarterly loss on $7 billion in revenue. The earnings report may trigger the sale of 911.5 million shares held by insiders and early investors, potentially increasing downward pressure on the stock. Retail investors remain divided, with $401.1 million invested in leveraged ETFs expecting gains versus $296.8 million in inverse funds anticipating losses.
