Gowing Bros’ SpaceX stake surges to AUD $3.99M following Nasdaq IPO
Gowing Bros Limited (ASX) confirmed on 24 June 2026 that SpaceX has finalised its initial public offering and subsequent listing on the Nasdaq, where it now trades under the ticker SPCX.

The IPO was priced at USD $135.00 per share. Subsequent trading lifted the stock further to USD $156.11 per share as at 23 June 2026.

What SpaceX does, and why it matters to investors
SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft, with the stated aim of reducing space transportation costs and potentially facilitating the colonisation of Mars. Beyond launch services, the company operates three distinct business arms.
-
Starlink enables fast internet around the world via satellites, requiring no cables or expensive on-ground infrastructure.
-
Starshield leverages SpaceX’s Starlink technology and launch capability to support national security efforts.
-
xAI (from 2 February 2026) is building artificial intelligence to advance human comprehension and capabilities. Its flagship product, Grok, is a conversational, real-time AI chatbot integrated into the X platform.
For investors, the breadth of these businesses is significant. A listed Nasdaq stake now offers Gowing Bros exposure to the space, connectivity and artificial intelligence sectors through a single, listed position.

What this means for Gowing Bros shareholders
Gowing Bros is a diversified investment group, and the SpaceX listing illustrates how a position in a previously private company can convert into listed value. The holding was built since 2024, and the revaluation above book value reflects the group’s long-term investment approach.
The parcel is now a listed Nasdaq position. The company’s announcement does not indicate whether Gowing intends to hold or realise the stake, so no exit strategy is implied here.
A modest USD $600,000 allocation now valued at USD $2,755,000. The outcome reinforces the disciplined, long-term philosophy that underpins the group’s stated mission of “Investing Together For a Secure Future”.
