On July 1, SpaceX declined 3.18% in regular trading, trading at $162.78/share, with turnover of $44.69 billion. The stock reversed earlier pre-market gains driven by a Wedbush initiation, as multiple headwinds emerged during the session.
On the news front, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration updated its prohibited investment list to include SpaceX, barring FAA employees from purchasing or holding the company's stock, given the agency's regulatory oversight of SpaceX's commercial spaceflight operations. Simultaneously, SpaceX's data center operations in Memphis, Tennessee faced intensifying opposition from local communities and environmental advocates over pollution concerns, prompting legal challenges. The company responded by offering discounted Starlink packages with waived hardware fees for new users in the area, though the gesture has done little to ease investor concerns.
Market analysts noted that the valuation euphoria surrounding SpaceX since its June IPO appears to be cooling, with investors growing cautious about near-term overvaluation risks. Options market data from the prior session showed institutional positioning skewing bearish, with approximately $3.58 million in net bearish large-block trades recorded.
