What happened
SpaceX debuted on the Nasdaq stock exchange, achieving a valuation above $2 trillion following its listing last week. However, shares fell sharply on June 18 as investors pulled back from the buying frenzy. The stock dropped more than 6% in afternoon trading, settling at $178.50, though it remained more than 30% above its initial public offering price of $135.

Why it matters
The pullback was attributed to profit-taking following the massive IPO, which analysts noted was particularly eventful for the largest IPO in history. The decline reduced SpaceX's market value by more than $150 billion. Shares of other U.S. space companies, including Rocket Lab and Intuitive Machines, also declined during the period.
SpaceX, Rocket Lab, and Intuitive Machines are companies operating in the U.S. space industry.
