Still, the rocket and AI company remains on track to end the week about 35% above its $135 IPO price.<\/p>\n<p>Volatility is likely to continue as investors weigh lofty expectations for future revenue growth without a clear path to achieving them, according to Michael Monaghan, partner and portfolio manager at Founder Funds in Dallas, which holds shares of SpaceX.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got very comfortable owning this stock because we could see $200 billion of revenue in 2030,\u201d he said, noting even higher estimates elsewhere. \u201cBut literally and figuratively you need a rocket to go get those revenues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That view was echoed by Arete Research\u2019s Andrew Beale, who initiated coverage on the stock Thursday with a buy rating and $401 price target, implying it will more than double from where it currently trades.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=2455\">Rescue work continues at troubled California animal sanctuary, where 107 horses remain<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think fundamentals and SpaceX\u2019s long-term growth potential will drive investor interest,\u201d Beale said. While he forecasts that the firm will top $200 billion in revenue by 2030, he cautioned that the path there won\u2019t necessarily be entirely smooth sailing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpace is hard and timelines can slip with launch anomalies, technical challenges, environmental concerns and any number of other factors, so all estimates should be treated with a wide degree of caution,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Despite the rocky few sessions of trading, shares may be about to get some support from index inclusions in the weeks ahead. SpaceX will be eligible to be added to the Nasdaq 100 index after 15 days of trading thanks to Nasdaq Inc. changing its rules to allow faster entry to megacap IPOs. FTSE Russell and MSCI Inc. made similar changes to allow early addition into their gauges.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, about 30% of SpaceX\u2019s free float is set to be owned by passive investors just two weeks after the IPO, according to Intropic, a provider of index-rebalancing forecasts. That demand, combined with its low float \u2014 as lockups keep insiders from selling shares for months \u2014 could put upward pressure on SpaceX shares.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=2453\">Gov.
