Typically, most hot IPOs are allocated to select institutional investors with strong relationships with the lead underwriters. Only about 5% to 10% is typically allocated to retail investors, and those are generally very high-net-worth individuals. </p><p>However, SpaceX's IPO is being heavily peddled to retail investors, with about 30% of its allocation going toward this group. Investors will be able to put in for allocations through various platforms, including <strong>Robinhood</strong>, <strong>SoFi</strong>, <strong>Morgan Stanley's</strong> E*TRADE, Fidelity, and <strong>Charles Schwab</strong>. The IPO is also reportedly being heavily pushed by <strong>JP Morgan</strong> to its clients.

After the stock dipped to $15 in April this year, then to $10 before today's spike, the market's reaction may be more relief than any outrageously good Q2 numbers.</p><p>Sales declined 24% in Q1 (but beat analysts' expectations) as avocado prices fell 36% while volume jumped 15% in a normalizing avocado pricing environment. Despite the sales decline, Mission's adjusted EBITDA rose 5% as its margins remained resilient and rose slightly. However, the figure that stole the show was management's guidance to generate $86 million in adjusted EBITDA at the midpoint in the second half of the year. For a company with an enterprise value of just $1 billion, this is pretty attractive guidance and shows that Mission isn't outrageously priced for its potential.</p><p class="caption">Image source: Getty Images.</p><p><a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/06/09/why-mission-produce-stock-is-rocketing-higher-toda/?source=iedfolrf0000001">Continue reading</a></p> </article> </main></body></html>
