SpaceX, of course, went public in June

0:01

in a record IPO. It's been on a volatile

0:04

run since then. It's top shareholders

0:06

are now uncovered. And several lockups

0:08

are still left to expire, though. We're

0:09

digging into all the action for the

0:12

space stock with Yahoo Finance's Jared

0:13

Blikre. So, um it is 13F season, which

0:16

is a type of filing from uh for to the

0:19

SEC that where basically shareholders

0:22

have to reveal what their holdings were

0:24

as of the end of

0:25

June 30th, right?

0:26

>> That's right. So, if you remember the

0:28

SpaceX came to market in listed on June

0:30

12th. So, that was very on very early on

0:33

in the cycle. I did bring a chart. There

0:35

are over 1,500 holders of SpaceX stock,

0:39

and most of them own a very small

0:40

percent. And in fact, the most of the

0:43

stock, and this is a top line here, 83%

0:45

of the stock is held by 23 people.

0:47

>> Wow.

0:47

>> At the top of that list, guess what?

0:49

That is Elon Musk and the Gigafund. Then

0:52

you have the Saudi private and or public

0:54

investment fund. That's about a $26

0:56

billion holding. D1 Capital. Then you

0:58

got Nvidia, Capricorn. Bunch of names uh

1:01

probably not familiar with. Ontario

1:03

Teachers own $8.7 billion worth. That's

1:06

a huge fund right there. And as we were

1:08

just talking about over the break,

1:09

Alphabet owns a nice chunk as well.

1:12

Um so, there are a lot of smaller

1:13

holders as in fact, most of them are

1:16

smaller holders, but they own a very,

1:18

very small chunk. So, let me go back

1:20

here. I'm going to I'm going to chart

1:21

the price action in SpaceX to kind of

1:24

give a timeline here. Uh that's not what

1:26

I'm looking for, but this is our This is

1:28

the mega caps and how they've actually

1:29

done in uh August. And that's kind of a

1:32

small side note that most of them are

1:33

doing pretty well. But here's SpaceX.

1:35

And if we do a 3-month chart, that'll

1:37

get everything since day one, I think.

1:39

Um maybe there we go. And the $150 is a

1:43

big uh number because that was the

1:45

opening print, if you recall. That was

1:46

the biggest opening print ever for uh

1:49

new IPO in its listing. And so, where is

1:52

it right now? SpaceX is trading at

1:53

147.41.

1:55

And we've seen it kind of touch this

1:57

level before early on when it had that

1:59

big meteoric rise to 225 then it came

2:01

crashing back down. 150 has been a key

2:04

level. So, that's the one I'm really

2:05

watching here. If it can get above that,

2:07

I think it's got a decent shot at at

2:09

seeing 200 again pretty soon. Um but it

2:11

could also roll over at 150.

2:13

>> Well, what's interesting too on that

2:14

chart is there was all this anticipation

2:17

for the earnings but also for that first

2:19

lockup expiration.

2:21

>> Yes.

2:21

>> We knew it was coming. Big slice of

2:24

shares coming to market. Another slice

2:25

is coming to market this week

2:27

potentially. It doesn't mean they're all

2:29

going to be sold. It means they're

2:30

eligible for sale. The stock actually

2:32

went up on the first on the first

2:34

expiration day.

2:35

>> That surprised a lot of people.

2:36

>> Yeah. So, I mean was it just that there

2:38

was a lot of selling going into it

2:39

probably that people anticipated it was

2:42

going to happen.

2:42

>> That SpaceX got cut in half more than

2:45

half. So, it was at 225 traded all the

2:47

way to down to 104 and change. I think

2:50

it was just beaten up and you had people

2:52

who were willing to step in there. This

2:53

is a fun not uh we were just talking

2:55

about the big holders but this has a ton

2:57

of retail interest too. I follow

2:59

VandaTrack and every week they're out

3:01

with a new note that these are loyal

3:03

followers of the stock. So,

3:05

last week or the week before when we had

3:07

that 919 million share lockup

3:10

expiration, stock did very well the next

3:13

day. Now, as you said we have another

3:14

319 320 million dollar one or not dollar

3:18

but 300

3:19

>> Shares, yeah.

3:19

>> 320 million shares and we're going to

3:21

see one of those every two to three

3:24

weeks into their next earnings report.

3:26

And so, we're just scratching the

3:28

surface of the shares that are going to

3:29

be unlocked here. And then the big ones

3:31

are next year because after a year Elon

3:33

Musk gets to sell his. I don't think

3:35

he's going to destroy the share price.

3:36

He tends to take out loan on his loans

3:38

on his stock when he needs cash. But

3:41

yeah, I think you know the net net the

3:44

share the share unlocks are probably

3:46

going to be a force especially as the

3:47

stock climbs higher and higher if it

3:49

climbs higher and higher. But so far we

3:51

haven't seen it be an issue, but we're

3:53

in the early innings there.

3:54

>> Well, I mean into your point, that which

3:56

is a great one, like if I it dep- it all

3:58

depends on time horizon, right? If I'm

4:00

somebody who's an early employee of

4:01

SpaceX and I've been holding shares

4:03

forever and I want to buy a house,

4:04

>> Yeah.

4:05

>> then I've seen enough appreciation that

4:06

I can sell at least some of my shares to

4:08

do that. If I am a newer investor, say

4:11

one of those folks who showed up in the

4:13

13F,

4:14

>> Yeah.

4:14

>> and I've only been holding it for a few

4:16

months and I've seen the stock go down

4:17

and down and down, I'm not going to

4:18

sell. I'm going to wait until the stock

4:20

goes back up again.

4:21

>> more. Um so yeah, different different

4:23

holding periods, different investors.

4:25

This stock is so big. It's got something

4:27

for everybody. And it it has captured

4:29

the Ameri- the the uh retail traders'

4:32

imagination here. So I think

4:33

>> have something for everybody. One of my

4:35

guests called it Frankenstein recently.

4:37

>> [laughter]

4:37

>> Frankenstein's monster.

4:38

>> Yeah, right. Not Frank- not the doctor.

4:40

Not the good doctor, but rather his

4:42

creation.
