History

Historical Context

On August 9 1995 Netscape went public at $28 per share, closing at $58.25 and valuing the company at $2.9 billion, igniting the mid-1990s internet-stock surge that fed the dot-com bubble and a 400 % Nasdaq rise by 2000. The June 12 2026 SPCX IPO, with a SEC-mandated lock-up, mirrors those early-era volatility patterns for investors in the tech sector.
