"There has been an extremely high level of interest compared to previous IPOs we have had in all our Nordic markets," says Nordnet's savings economist Calle Söderberg in a written comment to TT.
Nordnet was one of the few brokerage firms that was able to offer to buy the shares ahead of the stock market debut on Friday. The online broker does not want to say how many people were able to buy.
But everyone who wanted shares was allocated "albeit on a reduced scale compared to how many shares were applied for, as the interest was so great," says Söderberg.
And it was a real stock market party for those who got in on the action from the start. Shares in Elon Musk's space and satellite company rose 19 percent during Friday's trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange in New York. This brought the total market capitalization of SpaceX to $2.2 trillion at the close on Friday, or 20.8 trillion kronor.
