(Washington, June 16 - International News) SpaceX, the space exploration technology company led by Elon Musk, saw its stock rise more than 10% in pre-market trading today. As speculation over a potential public listing intensifies, SpaceX's market valuation could surpass Amazon.com and rank as the fifth-largest company globally.

According to Reuters, SpaceX shares soared over 19% at yesterday's close and gained another 10.1% in pre-market trading today, reaching $211.80. If this momentum continues, the company's market capitalization could approach $2.8 trillion, overtaking Amazon and securing the fifth position worldwide.

Amazon's current market valuation stands at approximately $2.66 trillion based on its latest share price.

As of 4:14 a.m. Eastern Time, pre-market trading volume for SpaceX exceeded $1.16 billion—multiple times the combined pre-market volumes of Nvidia, Microsoft, Tesla, and Apple.

Additionally, in a filing submitted yesterday, SpaceX stated that going forward, it will only release quarterly and annual financial reports, along with other major news, through its official website and its account on the social media platform X. It will no longer use press release distribution services.

This move breaks from standard corporate communication practices, where companies typically rely on services like Business Wire or PR Newswire to reach broad audiences of investors and media outlets.

SpaceX encouraged investors, media, and other stakeholders to follow its investor relations webpage and its X account to access information disclosed through these channels. (Compiled by Liu Shuqin) 1150616
