SpaceX (SPCX.O) shares rose more than 10% on Tuesday, pushing the company's
market value above Amazon (AMZN.O) to become the world's fifth-largest firm; if
gains hold through the close, market cap would be roughly $2.8 trillion.
Swissquote senior market analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya called the valuation
"completely nonsensical," saying recent buying looks speculative. Options on
SPCX began trading Tuesday with standard monthly expiries and strikes from $25
to $380. SpotGamma founder Brent Kochuba warned that heavy call demand could
force market makers to buy SPCX stock amid thin liquidity, said index-related
buying may increase next week, and that additional free float is unlikely to
reach the market for another 1–2 months.
