Wall Street Is Ignoring the Bond Market’s Warning: SpaceX Is Junk
Danielle Liverance July 15, 2026 4 min read
Quick Read

SpaceX (SPCX) carries a BBB investment-grade rating, but bond spreads of 1.62 points exceed even the BB junk average of 1.55, signaling hidden credit risk.

S&P projects negative free cash flow through 2029, while Moody's flags Musk's concentrated voting power as a governance risk that limits independent board oversight.

SpaceX's 30-year bond spreads have stretched to nearly 2 points, repeating a widening pattern that preceded the 2008 mortgage crisis before any rating agency acted.

SPCX/Musk stated that a merger with Tesla is not in the future, do your research before you speak people!

🚨🚨📉📉MILLIONS OF SHARE WILL BE SOLD NEXT WEEK BY THE EARLY INVESTORS WHO HAVE AN AVERAGE OF $5-$10 dollars (10 years of waiting for this moment)……

Musk knew it would be bad when the flood gates open so he put incremental sale dates..

This will backfire and just keep driving the stock price down down down📉📉📉

Just loaded some shares. Elon has something up his sleeve. Either a TSLA buy out or a buy back program or a 2 for 1 forward stock split locking in the shares at a lower price. Let’s see or does he have numbers that will blow our minds to report Tuesday.

Good companies don't always make good investments when prices are too high, and that seems to be the case with SpaceX right now. When a company is priced for perfection, anything short of high-level execution could (and often does) result in sharp pullbacks or downturns.

) as the company is about to release its second-quarter results on Tuesday, Aug. 4.

SpaceX stock has plunged 31% since its IPO just over one month ago (and is down 51% from its all-time high), and some investors are waiting on the sidelines to buy shares if Q2 results beat Wall Street's consensus estimates.

But history says it's probably better to wait one year or longer before buying SpaceX stock, if at all. Here's why investors shouldn't be so eager to buy the company's shares.

The post-IPO blues

While excitement around the SpaceX IPO was high -- the company raised nearly $86 billion from the offering -- SpaceX's falling share price has been a disappointment for investors.

But what shareholders may not realize is that SpaceX is following a well-worn path. Data from 1980 to 2024, compiled by Jay Ritter, a professor at the University of Florida, shows that companies that IPO with $500 million or more in annual revenue underperform their value-weighted market index by about 4% in their first three years after going public.

And that's not the only historical data pointing to disappointing returns for SpaceX. IPO data compiled by Jefferies over the past 26 years show that companies that go public with market caps above $10 billion typically have gains of only 3.5% in their first year.
