Where it stands

SpaceX stock has rebounded toward the $135 IPO price, stabilization that surprised analysts after the company's first share lockup period expired last week. Rather than a projected crash, the stock has maintained value during the unlock of 911 million shares.

CNBC confirms the recovery to near-IPO levels, while coverage from Benzinga and Yahoo Finance notes that trading momentum remains stalled as investors process the implications of this supply increase. Market commentary highlights a divergence in sentiment regarding the company's valuation.

While some investors view the rebound as a signal of strength, others point to the unique nature of the shareholder base, characterized by followers of Elon Musk rather than traditional institutional traders.
