SpaceX and Anthropic lead major shifts in tech and AI markets FAST-MOVING
SpaceX is experiencing significant market activity following its record-setting June IPO, which raised $85.7 billion and valued the company at over $2 trillion. After an initial period of volatility and a decline in share price, the stock has recently rebounded, driven by strong quarterly earnings and the expiration of insider lockup periods. Elon Musk recently predicted that Starlink could eventually handle over 90% of global internet traffic, a claim supported by a 66% year-over-year increase in connectivity revenue. Institutional interest remains high, with Alphabet holding a massive stake in the company and Norway's sovereign wealth fund disclosing a 0.05% position.
Simultaneously, the artificial intelligence sector is anticipating another major market event as Anthropic prepares for a potential IPO. Reports suggest Anthropic could list as early as September or October with a valuation potentially exceeding $2 trillion. This anticipated debut is drawing significant attention from global investors and infrastructure partners, such as Macquarie Group, which is developing data center capacity to support Anthropic's growth.
