SpaceX has chosen Goldman Sachs to take the leading role in its anticipated initial public offering, signalling that preparations for the aerospace and AI firm’s public market debut this year are gathering pace, according to CNBC sources familiar with the matter.

Goldman Sachs has reportedly been awarded the "lead left position" on the IPO. In investment banking, the lead left bank is the underwriter listed first on official transaction documents, indicating it is primarily responsible for coordinating the offering, overseeing investor engagement and helping set the final share price.

The major US bank will be followed by Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase, said the CNBC sources, who asked not to be named.
