Fidelity Investments has announced a significant change in how retail investors can access the highly anticipated SpaceX initial public offering (IPO). Retail investors will now only need $2,000 in their brokerage accounts to participate, a drastic reduction from previous requirements that could reach $500,000. This move is designed to enhance accessibility for individual investors, as SpaceX plans to allocate up to 30% of its shares to retail buyers, compared to the typical 5% to 10% in other IPOs. Eligible investors can fill out an indication of interest (IOI) form to request shares, with a lottery system to allocate shares due to expected high demand. Analysts warn that increased retail participation could lead to more volatile trading in SpaceX stock, especially as it is likely to be included in major indexes more quickly than usual. Critics have raised concerns about the implications of these changes for retail investors, suggesting they may be overexposed to the stock.
