SpaceX’s record-setting initial public offering is attracting significant retail interest, but the share allocation available to individual investors remains limited, according to reports. Bloomberg says UK retail investors buy about $364.5 million of SpaceX shares, representing roughly 0.5% of the $75 billion IPO’s value. Other outlets report that retail demand is much higher than what most individual investors are likely to receive. The New York Post and Times of India both say SpaceX expects to make at least 20% of available shares available to the retail market in the IPO. Given the IPO size of about $75 billion, a 20% allocation would still mean that most individual bids cannot be fully satisfied. Times of India also reports retail investors bid for about $70 billion in demand, implying the portion for individuals will be oversubscribed. The New York Post adds that many retail investors may be left on the sidelines despite the availability of a retail tranche, because the remaining majority of shares is allocated elsewhere. Overall, sources describe strong retail participation alongside an allocation structure that leaves many individual investors short of getting shares before trading begins.
