Sky-high IPO pricing isn’t great for real people
Elon Musk's SpaceX is preparing for a public offering with a valuation of at least $1.25 trillion, alongside significant IPOs from OpenAI and Anthropic. While these companies may have promising futures, experts warn that their high valuations could pose risks for ordinary investors. The inclusion of these companies in major stock indexes may provide exposure, but the initial public share availability will be limited.
- ▪SpaceX's IPO could raise up to $75 billion and achieve a valuation exceeding $1 trillion.
- ▪OpenAI and Anthropic are also expected to launch IPOs with valuations around $900 billion each.
- ▪Experts caution that the high valuations may not yield profits for ordinary investors in the near term.
