After a blockbuster IPO, investor expectations were running high, and even great wasn't good enough.

The excitement is building around the SpaceX IPO, which is set to debut on the Nasdaq Composite on Friday. But before you lose your mind trying to buy SpaceX stock on its opening

SpaceX's IPO turns years of risk into a massive reward

The "Oracle of Omaha" knows a thing or two about buying IPO stocks.

OpenAI IPO Filing: OpenAI has confidentially filed for an IPO after reaching an $852 billion valuation. Anthropic remains ahead at $965 billion. Microsoft owns 27% of OpenAI's for-profit business. The Elon Musk legal battle is largely behind it.

When SpaceX goes public in mid-June, retail investors are expected to pile into the stock they've waited years to buy.

With SpaceX targeting a $2 trillion valuation at its IPO this summer and raising $75 billion in the process, it will be by far the largest public debut in market history. So it's worth considering what happened when companies set IPO records in the past.
