- The vote, reported on May 15, comes as SpaceX sits comfortably among the most valuable private companies on Earth, with a valuation that reached approximately $180B in late 2023 and early 2024
- SpaceX shareholders have voted to approve a 5-for-1 stock split, a move that will multiply the company’s outstanding share count fivefold while cutting the per-share price by roughly 80%
- By splitting shares 5-for-1, SpaceX effectively lowers the minimum ticket size for secondary transactions
Summary
SpaceX shareholders have voted to approve a 5-for-1 stock split, a move that will multiply the company’s outstanding share count fivefold while cutting the per-share price by roughly 80%. The vote, reported on May 15, comes as SpaceX sits comfortably among the most valuable private companies on Earth, with a valuation that reached approximately $180B in late 2023 and early 2024. A 5-for-1 split means every existing shareholder receives four additional shares for each one they hold, with each share priced at one-fifth of its pre-split value. For a publicly traded company, stock splits are often cosmetic, designed to make share prices look more approachable to retail investors.
