SpaceX shares have rebounded 32.27% in August, climbing from $108.27 on August 5 to $143.34 by the previous day, as South Korean investors bought ₩337.4 billion ($239.9 million) of the stock and bearish positioning eased, with short interest (shares sold short) falling from 34% of float to the low teens. The turn came after U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (U.S. markets regulator) 13F filings (quarterly institutional holdings reports) revealed stakes from Alphabet, Nvidia, Fidelity Investments, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and other large investors, reinforcing confidence after the stock had slipped below its $135 IPO price. Optimism around SpaceX's AI segment added to the rebound: CEO Musk said next month's AI revenue would exceed all other business segments combined, Q2 AI-related revenue rose 247% year over year, and new cloud service contracts generated $1.6 billion. Investors are still weighing lockup expirations (end of post-IPO sale limits), which will release 319 million shares on August 20 and far more in September and October, against bullish targets from UBS and bearish warnings from Phillip Securities over customer concentration, losses and contract risk.
