SpaceX lowballed its bankers on fees. Goldman Sachs has another way to win big
SpaceX is offering its underwriters a record-low 0.75% gross spread for its historic IPO, but Wall Street banks, led by Goldman Sachs, will still earn the largest dollar fees ever due to the massive $86 billion deal. This mirrors Goldman's 2010 strategy to win the GM IPO by matching a low fee, and the underwriters will split approximately $646 million in fees.
