Compared to its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/c3wyj6e4210o\" class=\"ssrcss-1e0jzsh-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\">on-the-day high so far<\/a>, the stock price is now down 41%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">If the price holds, or falls further, it will mean that those who purchased stock around the time of its flotation will stand to lose money on their investment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Even amid a tumultuous few weeks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/c8j2m2p8dgmo\" class=\"ssrcss-1e0jzsh-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\">for tech stocks<\/a>, SpaceX has taken a particular hit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Compared to a 0.2% fall on the wider Nasdaq index, where SpaceX&#8217;s shares are listed, the company&#8217;s stock price fell more than 2% on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">SpaceX stock has been volatile since it began trading on the public stock market a little over one month ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">After an initial investor frenzy that saw the company valued at more than Amazon and Microsoft, the price of its shares has drifted downward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Initially, SpaceX was treated by investors as the first chance they had to invest in an AI company, according to what financial market analysts and experts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/c3wyj6e4210o\" class=\"ssrcss-1e0jzsh-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\">recently told the BBC<\/a>, <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Earlier this year, SpaceX acquired <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cq6vnrye06po\" class=\"ssrcss-1e0jzsh-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\">Musk&#8217;s AI start-up xAI<\/a>, recently renamed SpaceXAI, marking it&#8217;s first foray into an AI-focused business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">XAI is best known for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cgk2lzmm22eo\" class=\"ssrcss-1e0jzsh-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\">controversial chatbot Grok<\/a>, but through that acquisition, SpaceX now leases data centre capacity to other tech companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The company&#8217;s main business is the manufacture and launch of rockets and telecommunications satellites called Starlink.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">When Starlink said it was cutting prices in the Memphis, Tennessee area amid local concerns over a massive data centre project, SpaceX shares fell by 8%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Steve Sosnick, chief market analyst at Interactive Brokers, told Reuters: &#8220;There hasn&#8217;t been anything that lately to remind people of some of the catalysts for why they bought SpaceX.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">SpaceX is expected to release in August its first public earnings report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Sosnick added: &#8220;The fact that a stock has fallen a couple of dollars below its IPO price in itself is not a tragedy, but SpaceX is heavily watched and has an important role in investor psyche.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/clyl33q0yl0o?at_medium=RSS&#038;at_campaign=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SpaceX&#8217;s share price has dropped below its stock market debut just over a month ago, falling sharply from a post-float peak.
