SpaceX, the giant company ruling the space world, is currently facing a big storm in the financial markets. The shares of this ambitious company of Elon Musk have seen such unprecedented selling in the last three days, which has shocked the investors. Within just 72 hours, about $600 billion (about Rs 50 lakh crore) has been wiped off the company’s market value. After this huge fall, the question is rising rapidly in the global market as well as among the Indian investors that what happened suddenly that the shares of one of the most valuable private companies in the world started being sold at throwaway prices.
Main reasons behind this sudden tsunami
According to market experts and insider reports, there is not just one reason behind this massive sell-off, rather many big factors are working together. The first and biggest reason is believed to be the adjustment made in the internal valuation of the company. Recently, some big institutional investors of the company have started profit booking on a large scale in the secondary market to rebalance their portfolio. Apart from this, the ongoing financial movements in Musk’s other projects like X (Twitter) and Tesla have also affected the sentiment of SpaceX, which has created an environment of panic selling among investors.
Is there danger looming on Starlink and Mars missions?
After this decline, concerns are also being raised whether there is going to be any reduction in funds for SpaceX’s biggest projects ‘Starlink’ and ‘Mars Mission’. Due to recent technical challenges and tightening global satellite regulations, the pace of Starlink’s expansion has been estimated to be slow. Along with this, the huge expenses incurred in the recent tests of Starship and the delay in regulatory approvals have also forced big investors to think. Experts say that due to the changes coming in AI and tech sector, investors are now withdrawing their money from high-risk long-term projects and shifting them to safer places.
Is this a good buying opportunity for retail investors?
Whenever there is such a huge fall in the shares of a big global company, the eyes of retail investors around the world including the Indian market are fixed on it. Would it make sense to bet on SpaceX shares (or indirectly related companies) at this deep discount? Financial advisors believe that private and aerospace sector companies like SpaceX are more risky than ordinary companies. Since this company is not directly listed on the stock exchange and its trading is done through secondary and private equity markets, common investors should avoid taking any hasty decisions during such huge fluctuations and should keep an eye on the cash flow of the company.
