Exclusive: Goldman To Take Lead Left Position on SpaceX IPO -- WSJ

Dow Jones

May 20

By Corrie Driebusch

Goldman Sachs is expected to be named lead banker on SpaceX's initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter.

Morgan Stanley is also a lead banker, though Goldman is expected to take the coveted lead-left position on the IPO prospectus, expected to be made public as early as Wednesday. The role is surprising given Elon Musk's close ties to Morgan Stanley.

The other banks set to lead the deal are Bank of America, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase.
