FP Markets Expands Its CFD Portfolio with SpaceX's Historic IPO

FP Markets, a global broker renowned for its Forex and CFDs, has recently enhanced its equity offerings by introducing Contracts for Difference (CFDs) on shares of Space Exploration Technologies Corp., commonly known as SpaceX (SPCX). This strategic addition allows investors to engage in trading SpaceX shares alongside a diverse selection of other available CFD stocks.

The timing of this launch comes on the heels of SpaceX's highly anticipated public offering, which took place on June 12, 2026. The company achieved a remarkable milestone by raising an incredible $75 billion at the onset. However, through the utilization of the over-allotment option—referred to as a ‘greenshoe’—the final total raised surged to approximately $86 billion, marking it as the largest IPO in history. Initially priced at $135 per share, the stock’s demand drove its opening price to $150, subsequently soaring past $200 shortly after, before adjusting back down to levels closer to pre-IPO values.

Historically, large-scale IPOs often experience a decline during their first year of trading. Similar trends were observed with major companies like Meta Platforms, which also saw a drop in share price in its inaugural year before rebounding significantly. As such, should SPCX surpass its initial IPO levels, optimistic investors could emerge, driven by historical market patterns.

John Lewis, the Marketing Director at FP Markets, expressed enthusiasm about this new addition to their investment portfolio. He noted, “Given the current momentum in the AI sector and global indices nearing historical highs, the appetite for rapidly growing tech companies is unprecedented. By adding SPCX to our CFD offerings, we reinforce our commitment to offering investors a diverse array of trading options on a highly tracked and esteemed stock across our world-class trading platforms.”
