SpaceX is preparing to take a major step toward going public, with plans to confidentially file for an initial public offering (IPO) as early as March 2026, according to reports citing people familiar with the matter. (Investing.com)
If the listing moves forward, Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite company could seek a valuation of more than $1.75 trillion, potentially making it one of the largest IPOs in history. (Investing.com)
Confidential Filing Expected Soon
The company is expected to submit a confidential draft registration to U.S. regulators, a common early step in the IPO process that allows companies to prepare privately before publicly releasing financial details. (Barron’s)
Sources suggest that a March filing would keep SpaceX on track for a possible public listing later in 2026, although the timeline could still change. (Investing.com)
SpaceX has not officially confirmed the plans.

Strong Financial Growth
SpaceX has grown rapidly in recent years, driven largely by its Starlink satellite internet business.
The company reportedly generated around $8 billion in profit on roughly $15–16 billion in revenue last year, with Starlink accounting for a significant share of total income. (Investing.com)
Starlink is expanding into new services, including direct satellite connectivity to smartphones and possibly its own branded devices. (Investing.com)
Expansion Into AI and Space Technology
Earlier in 2026, SpaceX acquired Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI in a deal that valued the combined business at about $1.25 trillion, further expanding the company’s ambitions beyond rockets and satellites. (Wikipedia)
Meanwhile, SpaceX is also preparing to test an upgraded version of its Starship rocket, part of the company’s long-term plans for missions to the Moon and Mars. (Investing.com)
Still Not Final
Despite the preparations, the IPO is not guaranteed. Plans could change depending on market conditions and company decisions. (Investing.com)
If the listing goes ahead, it would mark the first time investors can directly buy shares in SpaceX — a company that has reshaped the global space industry and become one of the world’s most valuable private businesses. (ynetnews.com)
