SpaceX shareholders have approved the board recommended 5 for 1 stock split, according to Bloomberg. Shareholders were emailed that the stock’s fair market value would be adjusted to $105.32 per share from $526.59. The split is expected to be processed during the week of May 18 and completed by May 22. Separately, Reuters reports SpaceX is aiming to list on Nasdaq as early as June 12, with plans to pursue a massive capital raise at a valuation around $1.75 trillion.
Wall Street reversed its recent momentum on Friday, pushing the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones lower as investors retreated from a stretched technology rally. The sell-off gathered pace alongside rising Treasury yields, with the 30-year yield moving above 5.1% amid inflation worries. Oil surged after Trump’s comments on Iran, lifting West Texas and Brent above key thresholds. Market hopes were also dampened by a Trump-Xi summit that delivered fewer breakthroughs than traders expected.
