Elon Musk’s SpaceX has selected Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) for senior roles in what could become the largest initial public offering in history.

Wall Street Heavyweights To Lead Listing

According to the Financial Times, SpaceX executives have recently met with investment bankers as preparations accelerate for a potential public listing as early as this year. The group is currently conducting a sale of existing shares that would value it at around $800 billion, according to the report.

SpaceX executives have held meetings with bankers in recent weeks as the company prepares for an IPO as soon as this year, the Financial Times reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The group is currently conducting a sale of existing shares that would value it at around $800 billion, according to the report.

Potential Record-Breaking Raise

If SpaceX goes public, it could aim to raise tens of billions of dollars, potentially overtaking Saudi Aramco’s $29 billion debut in 2019 as the biggest IPO on record. Other banks are also expected to land roles on the listing, the report said, cautioning that no final decisions had been taken and the situation could yet change.

Goldman Sachs declined to comment. Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley, and SpaceX did not immediately respond to Benzinga’s request for comment.

Timing And Market Impact

Freedom Capital Markets Chief Market Strategist Jay Woods previously told Benzinga that a SpaceX IPO might come in the second half of 2026. “That could really open the floodgates. If this goes and goes well, the optimism that you see in historical bull runs will be at a new level,” Woods said.
