SpaceX overtakes Amazon to become world's fifth most valuable firm

SpaceX has overtaken Amazon to become the world's fifth most valuable company after a post-IPO share price surge. The rally has been driven by Starlink revenue growth and investor enthusiasm over Mars travel plans. This is not investment advice.

According to the BBC, Elon Musk's SpaceX has surpassed Amazon's market capitalisation to become the world's fifth most valuable company, after a sustained rally since its public listing. The share price has been supported by accelerating subscriber growth at the Starlink satellite-internet unit.

The company completed one of Wall Street's largest initial public offerings last month, with order books significantly oversubscribed. Some investors are framing SpaceX as a hybrid global internet provider and launch infrastructure operator, while analysts warn that valuation multiples are demanding.

Musk's other firm Tesla also outperformed the broader Magnificent Seven during the session. Investors will watch whether appetite for speculative technology names holds after the Federal Reserve's policy decision on Wednesday and forthcoming earnings updates. This is not investment advice.
