5 articlesSpaceX is preparing for an IPO expected in early June 2026, with a potential valuation of $2 trillion. Three publicly traded companies offer indirect exposure to SpaceX: Alphabet (6% stake), Bank of America (less than 1% stake), and EchoStar (potential 2.8% stake pending regulatory approval). EchoStar's potential SpaceX position could be worth around $56 billion if the deal is approved.
Icahn Enterprises reported a Q1 2026 net loss of $459 million ($0.71 per unit) with adjusted EBITDA loss of $216 million, primarily due to $425 million in refining hedge losses and $158 million in unrealized derivative losses. Leadership transitioned from Andrew Teno to Ted Papapostolou as CEO. The investment funds returned 4.4% excluding hedges but -8.2% including them. Portfolio positions showed mixed results with several holdings posting gains, while operating segments faced headwinds from restructuring, supply chain disruptions, and competitive pressures.
SpaceX is planning to IPO this summer with an anticipated $1.75 trillion valuation. While average investors cannot directly buy pre-IPO shares, they can gain exposure through companies and funds that hold SpaceX stakes, including Alphabet (which owns 6.11%), EchoStar (gaining shares through a spectrum deal), and specialized venture funds like Baron Partners Fund, Ark Venture Fund, and Destiny Tech100. The article recommends waiting for the IPO for most investors, though Alphabet is highlighted as the most direct and beneficial indirect investment option.
SpaceX, aiming for a $2 trillion valuation, has filed plans to go public but isn't yet available to retail investors. The article outlines four ways to gain exposure to SpaceX before its IPO: through SoFi's Cosmos Fund (for accredited investors), Ark Venture Fund ETF, ERShares Private-Public Crossover ETF, and Destiny Tech 100. Investors can also buy shares of companies like Alphabet that own stakes in SpaceX.
Viasat demonstrates revenue stability with consistent quarterly figures around $1.1-1.2 billion, while EchoStar shows a declining revenue trend from $4.0 billion to $3.8 billion over eight quarters. Despite EchoStar's higher absolute revenue, both satellite connectivity providers face competitive threats from SpaceX's Starlink expansion. Interestingly, both stocks have delivered strong returns over three years, with EchoStar significantly outperforming Viasat.
