SpaceX Stock Has Climbed About 50%. The ‘Flippers’ Are Kicking Themselves.

June 17, 2026

SpaceX shares have surged nearly 50% in their first days of trading and left a trail of remorseful traders in their wake: those who sold too early.

After climbing an additional 4.8% in Tuesday’s session, SpaceX ended the day as the world’s fifth-largest public company by market cap, surpassing Amazon. The gains came as SpaceX announced a deal to buy AI-coding startup Cursor for $60 billion.
