SpaceX stock slides 24% as Kailash Concepts warns on valuation

SpaceX stock fell after Kailash Concepts called its valuation "catastrophic" in a July 2 report, with shares trading near their IPO price after a 24% decline.

The report from Kailash Concepts warned investors about SpaceX's valuation, according to the note published July 2. The firm, which focuses on identifying extreme valuation risks in public and private markets, did not disclose a specific price target for the company.

SpaceX has seen its valuation climb sharply in recent years, driven by growth in its Starlink satellite business and progress on the Starship rocket program. The company, led by Elon Musk, remains one of the most valuable private companies globally, with its stock trading in secondary markets at prices that have drawn comparisons to publicly traded aerospace and technology giants.

The negative research note could trigger selling pressure on SpaceX stock in private markets and potentially spill over into other high-growth private technology companies, the report suggested. SpaceX-linked special purpose acquisition companies and related equities may also face headwinds from the bearish assessment. Investors will watch for any adjustments to SpaceX's valuation in upcoming secondary transactions and whether other research firms follow Kailash Concepts with similar warnings on high-growth private tech names.
