SPCX fell 4 percent today as SpaceX's second post-IPO lockup expiration freed roughly 319 million shares for potential sale. No earnings miss. No operational setback. Just supply hitting the market. Lockup expirations work like a scheduled pressure valve — insiders and early investors who were contractually barred from selling suddenly get the legal green light, and the stock tends to reprice in anticipation of that selling pressure before it actually arrives. Here's what matters: this is only wave two. Five more tranches are reportedly queued up, which means SPCX is carrying an ongoing supply overhang, not a one-day event. The question for buyers is whether each upcoming expiration date gets treated as a dip to own, or simply a date to avoid.
