Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures rise in wait for historic SpaceX debut amid hopes for Iran-US peace

US stock futures rose on Friday ahead of SpaceX’s historic IPO, expected to be the largest ever, with shares priced at $135 and a valuation of $1.78 trillion. Meanwhile, Adobe’s stock dropped 8% after announcing CFO Dan Durn’s departure, despite strong quarterly earnings, and Tesla shares inched up ahead of the SpaceX listing.

US stock futures climbed Friday as investors anticipated SpaceX’s (SPCX) market debut, set to be the largest initial public offering in history. Dow Jones futures rose 0.6%, S&P 500 futures advanced 0.5%, and Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.4%, following a surge in Wall Street stocks Thursday after President Trump canceled planned strikes on Iranian targets. SpaceX priced its shares at $135 each, valuing the company at $1.78 trillion and raising approximately $75 billion. The listing positions CEO Elon Musk to become the world’s first trillionaire, pending performance. Pre-IPO trading in derivatives suggests a potential 30% to 50% gain, with some valuations reaching $2.4 trillion. Adobe’s stock fell 8% after announcing CFO Dan Durn’s departure on June 15, 2026, to join Marvell as CFO. Despite the drop, Adobe reported record Q2 revenue of $6.62 billion and earnings of $5.96 per share, exceeding Wall Street estimates. CEO Shantanu Narayen highlighted strong AI-driven demand and raised full-year fiscal 2026 revenue and earnings targets. Tesla shares traded cautiously higher by less than 1% before the market open, influenced by SpaceX’s upcoming IPO. Though Tesla and SpaceX operate separately—focusing on EVs/robotics and rocketry/AI, respectively—they share ties through Tesla’s $2 billion SpaceX stake and integrated Starlink services. Markets also reacted to reports of US-Iran progress toward an interim peace deal, easing tensions over the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices initially dropped 5% before recovering, while the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index hit an all-time low of 44.8 in May, reflecting economic concerns.
