As the initial public offering (IPO) schedule of the U.S. private space company SpaceX materializes, interest in related stocks is growing in the domestic stock market as well. While Japan's Rakuten Securities announced its plan to treat SpaceX as a target for U.S. stock IPO bookbuilding (demand forecasting), domestic investors are paying close attention to stocks with potential benefits.

The market expects SpaceX to hold a roadshow for institutional investors in early June, go through the process of fixing the public offering price, and then proceed with its listing. Rakuten Securities also introduced the SpaceX IPO as a major investment event, announcing its plan to conduct future bookbuilding and subscription procedures.

Amid this news, stocks directly and indirectly connected to the aerospace industry have entered the spotlight in Korea. During the trading session, Mirae Asset Venture Investment recorded 43,000 won, up 6.30% from the previous day, while AJU IB Investment traded at 10,080 won. Both stocks are attracting investors' attention as they have a history of investing in global innovative companies and operate venture investment businesses.

In the aerospace sector, Kencoa Aerospace is also consistently mentioned as a SpaceX-related stock. The company operates an aircraft and aerospace parts business and participates in the global aerospace supply chain. However, its intraday stock price stood at 22,800 won, down 3.80% from the previous day.

Some market analyses suggest that the listing of SpaceX could serve as a catalyst to expand the investment boom in the global space industry beyond a simple IPO. In particular, if SpaceX, propelled by its Starlink satellite communications business and reusable rocket business, goes public with a mega-valuation, there is a possibility that investment sentiment toward the entire aerospace industry will improve.

However, some point out that caution is necessary when investing in related stocks. This is because many domestic stocks are tied together by industrial themes or business relevancy rather than direct equity relationships with SpaceX, meaning the actual scale of benefits may vary by company. The securities industry believes that the future confirmation of SpaceX's public offering price and the announcement of its listing schedule could act as factors increasing short-term volatility in domestic aerospace and venture investment-related stocks.
