SpaceX IPO to yield record fees for Wall Street despite low spread

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

SpaceX is planning its Initial Public Offering (IPO) with an unusually low gross spread of 0.75% for its underwriters, a rate that ties the lowest on record for a conventional IPO. Despite the low percentage, the sheer size of the offering, aiming for an $86 billion raise and a $1.75 trillion valuation, will result in the largest dollar fee bonanza ever for Wall Street. Goldman Sachs, as the lead underwriter, is expected to secure the lion's share of these fees, not only from the gross spread but also from determining which funds and brokers receive the shares. AI
