- SpaceX shares held steady after a $100 billion insider lockup expired, per Bloomberg's headline, with the event described as the company's 'most-feared trading day.'
- Yahoo Finance framed the lockup expiration as a crucial test for investors, noting the stock jumped despite what it called an 'earnings storm.'
- Le Monde characterized the moment as SpaceX 'a dream put to the test of the numbers,' treating the earnings and lockup combination as a dual stress test for the company.
Why it matters: The $100 billion insider lockup expiration — widely dubbed SpaceX's 'most-feared trading day' — passed without the stock breaking, indicating secondary-market demand absorbed the newly tradable supply. For employees and early backers now free to sell, a stable price means the feared liquidation event did not materialize as a fire sale.
