🚨 Don’t Miss the SpaceX IPO event 🚨
No Market Masters this morning, but you can join Lance, Graham, Nate and Alex live at 10 a.m. ET for their big SpaceX IPO Event, where they’ll reveal how to target smaller, little-known companies positioned to ride the massive space-investing stampede around Elon Musk’s historic IPO and more [tap to join them]!
SpaceX is finally about to hit the public markets, and brokers are already warning this could be one of the most chaotic IPO openings we’ve seen in years.
Before we get into the mechanics, understand this: Brokers are openly anxious about how chaotic this IPO could be. That alone should tell you the kind of volatility and unpredictability we’re heading into.
The deal is scheduled to be priced today, and trading is expected to begin Friday — likely sometime after the open. Based on how these things usually go on Nasdaq, do not expect a 9:30 a.m. ET start.
It could be mid-morning or even early afternoon before anything prints.
What makes this even wilder is the level of preparation brokers are doing. I received one of the most detailed pre-IPO briefings I have ever seen, laying out halt procedures, trading windows and why everything will roll out slower than normal.
They’re estimating that options will take two to five trading days to go live, and they’re already outlining restrictions around fractional shares and other mechanics that will not function normally on day one.
To top it off, there’s a 2x leveraged ETF tied to SpaceX set to launch the same day trading begins, and even a 3x leveraged ETF…

We did not see anything this complex when Meta Platforms (META) went public, and back then we were not juggling leveraged ETFs and ultra-fast options listings. This setup is far more intense than what we saw during those past blockbuster IPOs.
Trading Restrictions and Allocation Dynamics
One of the biggest limitations you need to be aware of is the complete lack of afterhours trading on day one. When the market closes Friday, trading stops until Monday at 9:30 a.m. ET sharp. Different brokers are implementing their own layers of restrictions, particularly around fractional shares, order types and execution windows, so do not assume your usual workflow will apply.
The allocation chatter is unusual too. The rumor is that smaller accounts may actually receive larger allocations while larger accounts get less. If that’s true, retail traders could find themselves in a stronger position than usual, but larger accounts need to temper expectations and plan around leaner-than-normal fills.
As for demand, the deal is reportedly about four times oversubscribed. By comparison, META was roughly 20 times oversubscribed and some recent high-profile IPOs went 100 times over. So the hype is strong but not at the extremes we’ve seen before.
Market-Wide Impact and What to Watch
This IPO is going to pull a lot of capital to one place, and that is a meaningful drain on liquidity. We already have a downside setup forming, and a high-profile event like this can easily serve as the spark that pushes broader markets lower. Keep that on your radar.
Rules at a Glance
- No afterhours trading on day one
- Delayed open Friday — do not expect 9:30 a.m. trading
- Options likely delayed two to five trading days
- Fractional shares may be restricted
- Broker-specific trading rules will apply
- Expect unconventional allocation outcomes
Stay sharp out there. This one is shaping up to be unlike anything we have traded in years.
And while you’re at it, be sure and join Graham, Nate, Lance and Alex at 10 a.m. ET for their top 7 stocks to play the IPO and more!
