Gary Black Says SPCX Below $100 Will Get Him ‘Excited’
Quoting a post he made on X in which the investor had said that SpaceX would not become profitable until 2027 and he failed to see why people were investing in the company.
“IPO should not have been priced at $135,” Black said in his post on Wednesday, outlining concerns with SpaceX’s valuation. “Hard for me to get excited until it falls below $100,” the investor shared.
Notably, the investor had earlier said that SpaceX’s decline could continue, taking the stock below its IPO price of $135/share when the share lock-up period stipulated by the IPO terms ends in August.
Ross Gerber Questions Whether SPCX Can Hold
