Comment on Traders are increasingly betting against SpaceX just weeks after IPOparent

Comments

Matt Levine pointed out to a likely culprit, and it indeed has nothing to do with the business outlooks.[0]

SpaceX sold only 5% of their stock in the IPO. Earliest lockups will start to [partially] expire in mid-August, bringing in further 7% of SpaceX stock to market. If you expect the market to be flooded with >2x volume of supply, you can either sell right now before the price drops even further or hold and wait for the business fundamentals catch up with pricing expectations.

Yes, that’s what the parent comment meant by “there is going to be a ton of new float fairly soon”
