The upcoming SpaceX IPO is touted to be the biggest public offering since Aramco in 2019. However, the more than $1.7 trillion valuation puts it further ahead than some of the biggest companies on the S&P 500 index, operated by the S&P Dow Jones Indices.

SpaceX IPO Is Bigger Than S&P 500 Aerospace Companies

Barron’s, in a report on Tuesday, said that the SpaceX IPO was worth more than all of the 12 aerospace and defense companies listed on the S&P 500 index, including RTX Corp, Boeing Co., Northrop Grumman Corp, GE Aerospace and more.

The report said that the combined valuation of the 12 companies came in at approximately $1.5 trillion, which is less than the $1.77 trillion valuation touted by SpaceX in its S-1 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

However, the companies generated approximately $500 billion in revenue, which was well over SpaceX’s reported revenue of $18.7 billion before the IPO.

Gene Munster, Ron Baron Bullish On SpaceX IPO

Industry analysts and experts have expressed bullish sentiments about the IPO, with Deepwater Asset Management‘s Gene Munster calling the IPO an exciting event for the tech industry.

He also said that SpaceX could emerge as a rival for Alphabet Inc., but outlined that SpaceX had an edge because Google did not make rockets.

Investor Ron Baron also expressed bullish sentiment for the IPO, predicting that the Elon Musk-led company could go on to become worth $30 trillion in the future, prompting Musk to call him “smart.”

Goldman Sachs Group Inc., which is the lead underwriter for the SpaceX IPO, reportedly shared with prospective investors that the company's total revenue could reach over $474 billion by 2030.

SpaceX IPO Casts Doubt

However, not everyone is bullish on SpaceX, with NYU Stern Professor Aswath Damodaran, widely known as the Dean of Valuation, saying that he would avoid participating in the IPO, citing concerns with SpaceX’s valuation, its $28.5 trillion market opportunity and other reasons.

Top Pension officials from New York and California have also criticized SpaceX’s IPO, accusing Musk of creating a management-favorable structure. SpaceX will incorporate a dual-class share structure, with Musk's Class B shares each worth 10 regular shares, holding significant voting power.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.

Arrived

Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry. Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100. This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.

Immersed

Immersed is building technology for the future of work through spatial computing. Known for its AR/VR productivity platform that enables users to work across multiple virtual screens, the company has grown to more than 1.5 million users worldwide. Immersed is also developing Visor, a lightweight headset designed specifically for professional productivity, positioning the company at the intersection of remote work, extended reality (XR), and next-generation computing.

Vinovest

Fine wine and rare whiskey have historically moved independently of the stock market, making them a compelling alternative asset. Vinovest manages authenticated, insured portfolios of investment-grade wine and whiskey starting at $5,000 — sourcing, storage, and insurance all handled for you.

EnergyX

EnergyX is a clean energy technology company focused on direct lithium extraction and refinery technologies for the lithium-ion battery supply chain. Its proprietary DLE systems are designed to recover lithium from brine resources more efficiently and with less environmental impact, supporting efforts to expand lithium supply for electric vehicles, grid-scale storage, and other battery applications.

FarmTogether

Farmland has historically held its value through market volatility and delivered returns uncorrelated to stocks and bonds. For accredited investors, FarmTogether offers direct access to high-quality U.S. farmland starting at $15,000 — fully managed, with no landlord headaches.

EquityMultiple

For accredited investors looking beyond stocks and bonds, EquityMultiple provides access to vetted commercial real estate deals starting at $5,000, with only ~5% of opportunities passing their due diligence process.

Fundrise

Private real estate and private credit can add income and stability to a stock-heavy portfolio. Fundrise offers access to diversified private real estate and credit strategies through an easy-to-use platform, with professionally managed portfolios designed to generate passive income and long-term growth.

American Hartford Gold

American Hartford Gold is a precious metals dealer that helps clients buy physical gold and silver coins and bars, either for direct delivery or within self-directed precious metals IRAs.

Flight or fight? In looking at your investment portfolio, you have the choice of both.

Invesco Aerospace & Defense ETF (NYSEMKT:PPA) offers broad exposure to defense contractors and aerospace manufacturing with lower historical volatility, while U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSEMKT:JETS) provides a pure-play, more concentrated bet on global airline operators.

Investors looking for exposure to flight-related industries generally choose between two distinct paths: commercial travel or military defense. While both funds are housed primarily within the industrial sector, their underlying economic drivers differ significantly, ranging from consumer leisure demand and fuel costs to national security budgets and long-term government defense contracts.

Snapshot (cost & size)

Metric JETS PPA Issuer US Global Invesco Expense ratio 0.60% 0.58% 1-yr return (as of June 8, 2026) 20.10% 25.10% Dividend yield 0.80% 0.40% Beta 1.21 0.74 AUM $860.4 million $8.0 billion

Beta measures price volatility relative to the S&P 500; beta is calculated from five-year monthly returns. The 1-yr return represents total return over the trailing 12 months. Dividend yield is the trailing-12-month distribution yield.

The Invesco fund is slightly more affordable with a 0.58% expense ratio compared to the 0.60% charged by the U.S. Global fund. However, the airline-focused ETF provides a higher payout, yielding 0.80% over the trailing 12 months at its recent price of $27.55, versus the 0.40% yield from the defense fund when it was trading around $166.

Performance & risk comparison

Metric JETS PPA Max drawdown (5 yr) (44.00%) (18.40%) Growth of $1,000 over 5 years (total return) $1,060 $2,282

What's inside

The Invesco Aerospace & Defense ETF holds 60 positions and tracks the SPADE Defense Index, focusing on firms vital to U.S. homeland security and aerospace support. Its largest positions include Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) at 8.1%, RTX Corp. (NYSE:RTX) at 7.91%, and GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) at 7.77%. The portfolio is almost 94% Industrials, with the balance in technology and communication services. This fund was launched in 2005 and has a trailing-12-month dividend of $0.66 per share.

The U.S. Global Jets ETF offers a more concentrated portfolio of 50 positions, including both airline operators and aircraft manufacturers worldwide. Its largest positions include Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:DAL) at 12.69%, American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:AAL) at 12.01%, and United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:UAL) at 11.57%. The sector mix is 91% Industrials, 7% Consumer Cyclical, and 2% Technology. This fund was launched in 2015 and has a trailing-12-month dividend of $0.23 per share.

Story Continues

Which is the better buy?

The Invesco Aerospace & Defense ETF is the better buy, having outpaced the U.S. Global JETS fund year-to-date, over the past three years, and over the previous five years. In the three years through March 31, 2026, PPA has returned 27.87%, while avancing 17.85% over the previous five years. By comparison, the U.S. Global JETS ETF has returned 17.38% over the past three years and 2% over the past five years.

The primary difference is that JETS is focusing solely on the commercial aerospace business, mainly consumer travel on aircraft. That's a boom-and-bust industry, where intense competition over airfare pricing makes it difficult for most airlines to post consistent profits.

The Invesco PPA fund holds a number of stocks not seen in JETS, including defense contractors L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX), GeneralDynamics (NYSE:GD), and Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC). All of those are stocks benefiting from the U.S. increasing defense spending amid multiple military campaigns in recent years.

With lower volatility than JETS, as indicated by its lower maximum drawdown, PPA is the choice for 2026.

WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - Even before going public, Elon Musk's SpaceX has become a household name in America — more widely recognized than legacy Apollo-era companies and even prominent 2028 presidential hopefuls, according to a Reuters/Ipsos ‌poll.

For the last decade, SpaceX rockets have regularly returned to ocean platforms or giant mechanical arms on the launchpad in controlled ‌landings that resemble science fiction. The company has also disrupted the satellite internet market.

Some 84% of Americans are familiar with the company, according to the six-day Reuters/Ipsos poll that ​closed on Monday. Just 13% say they have never heard of SpaceX.

That's on par with Boeing, a 110-year-old company whose planes transport hundreds of millions of passengers annually that 14% of respondents said they had never heard of -- and far more than B-2 stealth bomber maker Northrop Grumman, unknown to half the poll respondents.

It also trumped well-known public figures, including Republican Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who one in five respondents had not heard of, ‌and Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, unknown to one ⁠in four respondents. Both are seen as strong contenders for the White House in 2028.

SPACE PROGRAM

America's storied space program has come to rely heavily on SpaceX, the only U.S. entity capable of sending astronauts to the International ⁠Space Station. It's also building a key astronaut moon lander for NASA, launching most of the Pentagon's satellites to space, and wooing the U.S. military and intelligence agencies with its vast satellite networks Starlink and Starshield.

SpaceX hopes to cash in on its fame in its stock offering, reportedly reserving up to 30% ​of the ​initial stock sales for retail investors — far more than the usual 5% to ​10%. The new shares are expected to be priced ‌on Thursday, with the offering potentially valuing the company at well over $1 trillion even though it has recently been losing money.

Some 29% of poll respondents said they would likely buy stock in SpaceX if it were available to them. That doesn't mean a third of the country will rush out to buy the shares. The Federal Reserve estimates only a fifth of households own any individual stocks directly, and many of those holdings are employer-stock related.

SpaceX is also somewhat polarizing for Americans who associate the company with its CEO, Musk, a billionaire who played a major ‌role in the early months of Republican President Donald Trump's second term. Some 74% ​of Republicans in the Reuters/Ipsos poll said they had a favorable view of SpaceX, ​compared to 32% of Democrats and 49% of Americans overall. ​Musk's own favorability rating, at 34%, was a touch below Trump's own rating.

Story Continues

U.S. space agency NASA had an 80% ‌favorability rating, although respondents were more divided about crewed space ​exploration, with 38% saying the costs ​of NASA sending people to space outweigh the benefits and 58% saying the effort is worth it.

Some also have reservations about the commercialization of space, with 33% of poll respondents saying they oppose the goal of several private companies to mine resources on ​the moon. Another 24% support the idea, which is ‌among SpaceX's long-term business plans, and 41% said they neither supported nor opposed it.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online and gathered ​responses from 4,531 U.S. adults nationwide. Its results had a margin of error of 2 percentage points in either direction.

Die Konflikte in Iran haben zu weit verbreiteten Diskussionen über den Einfluss der US-Verteidigungsausgaben auf verschiedene Lieferanten geführt. Höhere geopolitische Spannungen haben jedoch auch zu erhöhter Ausgaben weltweit geführt, insbesondere in anderen NATO-Ländern. Die globale Verteidigungs- und Luftfahrtausgabe beschleunigt sich und geht über traditionelle Waffen hinaus. Dies kommt im Zusammenhang mit steigenden Bedrohungen durch elektronische Kriegsführung und einem Anstieg der Beschaffung von unbemannten Systemen.

In wenigen Wochen wird die SpaceX-IPO ankommen. Rauminvestoren sind begeistert, mit Aktien bekannter Namen wie AST SpaceMobile und Rocket Lab stiegen diese Monat um 43% bzw. 65%. Selbst Elon Musks Automobilunternehmen Tesla scheint sich von der Begeisterung für SpaceX zu inspirieren und gewann bisher in Mai 11,5%. Solche dramatische Kursgewinne haben es jedoch schwieriger als je zuvor gemacht, unter den Raumaktien nach Börsenplätzen Ausschau zu halten – zumindest unter den US-Raumaktien. Aber was passiert, wenn man seinen Blickwinkel ein wenig erweitert und international schaut? Könnte es immer noch möglich sein, günstige Raumaktien... im Ausland zu finden?

Diese Frage kam mir letzte Woche nach Erhalt einer Pressemitteilung von der kleinen japanischen Raumfahrtgesellschaft Astroscale in den Sinn. Sie will anscheinend zusammen mit dem größeren japanischen Raumfahrtunternehmen SKY Perfect JSAT "On-Orbit-Dienste" anbieten.

Laut Daten von S&P Global Market Intelligence ist Astroscale das kleinere der beiden Unternehmen, mit einer Marktkapitalisierung von 2 Milliarden US-Dollar und jährlichen Umsätzen unter 34 Millionen US-Dollar. SKY Perfect JSAT hingegen ist ein Relativriesen, mit einer Marktkapitalisierung von 7,6 Milliarden US-Dollar und mehr als 800 Millionen US-Dollar in jährlichen Umsätzen.

Beide Unternehmen sind an der Tokioter Börse notiert. Der größte Satellitenbetreiber Asiens mit 17 geostationären (GEO) Satelliten im Orbit ist SKY Perfect JSAT, der Pay-TV und Satellitenkommunikationsdienste anbietet. (Es ähnelt einer Kombination aus EchoStar und Starlink in den USA.)

Astroscale hingegen ist viel kleiner. Sehr viel ein Start-up im Raumfahrtsektor will Astroscale sich auf "On-Orbit-Dienste" spezialisieren, einschließlich Reparatur, Refueling und schließlich Entsorgung alter Satelliten sowie der Entfernung von orbitalen Abfall.

Und wenn diese klingen wie genau die Arten von Diensten, die ein Satellitenkonstellationsbetreiber wie SKY Perfect JSAT interessieren könnten... Nun denkt SKY Perfect auch so.

Astroscale + SKY Perfect JSAT = was?

Laut letzter Woche's Pressemitteilung werden Astroscale und SKY Perfect eine "strategische Partnerschaft" bilden, die durch einen Beteiligungsanteil von SKY Perfect an Astroscale gesichert wird. Die Größe der Investition wurde in der Pressemitteilung nicht diskutiert, aber ein anschließender Artikel auf satnews.com tat es: SKY Perfect werde 800 Millionen Yen (5 Millionen US-Dollar) investieren.

Das ist keine riesige Investition. Tatsächlich erscheint sie im Kontext eines Gesamtfonds von 30,6 Milliarden Yen (192,2 Millionen US-Dollar) sogar winzig klein. Aber wenn diese kleine Investition SKY Perfect hilft, ein lokales Unternehmen aufzubauen und in die Geschäftsfelder der Verlängerung des Lebenszyklus seiner eigenen Satelliten einzutreten – jeder einzelne kann Kosten von Hunderten Millionen Dollar verursachen – könnte diese Partnerschaft große Dividenden abwerfen.

Astroscale gegenüber der Konkurrenz

Aber es gibt keine Zeit zu verlieren.

Hier in den USA haben bereits mehrere Raumfahrtunternehmen das aufstrebende Markt für On-Orbit-Dienste anvisiert, wodurch Astroscale nachzukommen hat. Der jüngste Eingreifer war der privat geführte Blue Origin, der im März eine Blue Ring-Space-Tug vorgestellt hat, die nicht nur GEO-Satelliten sondern sogar zwischen Planeten reisen kann. Auch in der Rennbahn ist das aufstrebende Raketenunternehmen Firefly Aerospace (NASDAQ: FLY), welches "Elytra"-Space-Tugs in drei verschiedenen Größen anbieten wird.

Bereits im Markt sind Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC), der mindestens zwei kommerzielle On-Orbit-Missionen mit seinem Mission Extension Vehicle (MEV) geflogen ist und eine verbesserte Version namens Mission Robotic vehicle in Arbeit hat; sowie Rocket Lab mit seiner kleineren Photon "Kick-Stage"-Fahrzeug, das auch als Space-Tug für kleinere Satelliten dient.

Kann Astroscale erfolgreich mit solch einer Reihe von Konkurrenten konkurrieren? Astroscale ist derzeit nicht profitabel; es verbraucht 96 Millionen US-Dollar und Analysten, die von S&P Global befragt wurden, denken, dass das Unternehmen erst 2029 profitabel wird – und 2030 vorher wieder Geld verlieren wird.

Vielleicht reicht finanzielle Unterstützung von SKY Perfect aus, um das Unternehmen durchzubringen. Aber ich muss zugeben, dass ich auf der Grundlage der Zahlen, die ich heute sehe, nicht optimistisch bin.

Mit steigenden globalen Spannungen erhöhen sich die Verteidigungshaushalte der Länder und das Investieren in militärische Ausrüstung und fortschrittliche Technologien. Diese Trend schafft starke Wachstumsmöglichkeiten für Verteidigungsunternehmen wie BAE Systems plc BAESY und Northrop Grumman NOC.

BAE Systems entwickelt Verteidigung, Luftfahrt- und Sicherheitsprodukte und ist bekannt für Plattformen wie das Eurofighter Typhoon Flugzeug, CV90-Kampffahrzeuge und Astute-Klasse-U-Boote. Im Gegensatz dazu ist Northrop Grumman ein diversifiziertes Luft- und Verteidigungskonzern mit Operationen in Raumfahrt, Luftfahrt, Verteidigung und Cybersecurity. Seine Produkte umfassen Raketenabwehrsysteme, Satelliten, autonome Technologien und Cybersicherheitslösungen.

Da Regierungen ihre Verteidigungsfähigkeiten modernisieren, werden beide BAESY und NOC von höherem Militäraufwand und wachsender Nachfrage nach fortschrittlichen Verteidigungssystemen profitieren.

Einige Aktien stiegen im Nachmittagsabschnitt nach dem Signal der USA und Irans für einen Friedensvertrag an, was sowohl kommerzielle als auch Verteidigungsflugzeugträger benachteiligte. Der Luftfahrtsektor (Boeing, GE Aerospace, Airbus-Zulieferer) profitiert von einer erholten Fluggastzahl und fallenden Ölpreisen sowie einem erhöhten Reisebedarf, da etwa 30 % der Betriebskosten eines Flugzeugträgers durch Treibstoff entstehen. Der Verteidigungssektor (RTX, Lockheed, Northrop, L3Harris) profitiert von erhöhten geopolitischen Spannungen, die zwar ausreichen, um Verteidigungshaushalte aufrechtzuerhalten, aber nicht so hoch sind, dass sie zu Kostenerhöhungen durch Kriege führen. Der Luftfahrtsektor ist einzigartig unter den Industrien, da die gleichen Unternehmen oft sowohl kommerzielle als auch Verteidigungsaufträge haben. GE Aerospace baut beispielsweise kommerzielle und Verteidigungsjetmotoren her. RTX baut beispielsweise kommerzielle Avionik und Patriot-Raketen her. Wenn ein Friedensvertrag die kommerzielle Reisebedarf erhöht, während der strukturelle Verteidigungshaushalt (NATO-Ziele, AI-Verteidigungsbuildouts) aufrechterhalten wird, gewinnt das Doppelhaushaltsmodell auf beiden Seiten gleichzeitig, was genau das war, was die Börse belohnte. Die Börse reagiert übermäßig auf Nachrichten und große Kursabschläge können gute Gelegenheiten sein, hochwertige Aktien zu kaufen.

Einige Aktien stiegen im Nachmittagsabschnitt, nachdem die USA und Iran Fortschritte bei einem Friedensabkommen signalisiert hatten. Dies führte zu einer Erholung sowohl der Luftfahrt- als auch der Verteidigungsindustrie. Die Luftfahrtindustrie profitiert von erhöhter Flugverkehrsnachfrage, wenn Ölpreise fallen und Reisedemander zurückkehren, da etwa 30% eines Airlines Betriebskosten aus Treibstoff bestehen. Die Verteidigungsindustrie profitiert von erhöhten geopolitischen Spannungen, die zwar nicht zu Kriegskosten überlaufen, aber auch nicht zu niedrigen Kosten führen. AeroVironment-Aktien stiegen um 4,6%, während KBR-Aktien um 4,5% stiegen.
