SpaceX is reportedly accelerating its IPO plans to list on Nasdaq as early as June 12, with a roadshow beginning June 4 and a share sale possibly on June 11. The company is eyeing a valuation around $1.75 trillion and could raise up to $75 billion, with BlackRock reportedly considering a $5–$10 billion investment.

SpaceX is targeting a June 11 pricing and June 12 trading debut with a potential $1.75 trillion valuation, which would make it one of the world’s largest public companies.

Investors may be better off watching early results and price action before rushing into SPCX.

Top investor James Foord downgrades AMD from Strong Buy to Sell, arguing AMD's current valuation relative to Nvidia doesn’t reflect its growth or profitability, with Nvidia still leading in margins and AI infrastructure; analysts show mixed near-term outlook, and the valuation gap remains a point of contention despite AMD’s AI push.
Palantir Technologies posted 85% year-over-year revenue growth in Q1, the fastest growth since going public, driven by broader adoption of its AI Platform across Commercial and Government segments. Despite the strong top line and profitability gains, PLTR is down about 22% year-to-date as investors worry the rally is priced in, given its lofty valuation (forward P/E around 94x, forward P/S about 43x). Wall Street remains cautiously optimistic: Benchmark issued a Hold, while Truist issued a Buy, noting Palantir’s ongoing revenue growth and role as an AI infrastructure layer, but warning that the stock needs sustained “hyper” growth of 70–80% to justify the premium.

Bloomberg reports Anthropic is preparing a funding round that could value the company above $900 billion (with secondary-market prices suggesting around $1 trillion), a dramatic jump from February’s $380 billion valuation and higher than OpenAI’s latest round (~$852 billion). The story notes Anthropic’s growing enterprise revenue, but also highlights ongoing Pentagon-related concerns—labeled a supply-chain risk and the subject of litigation—and rumors of an eventual IPO that could put public shares within reach later this year.
SanDisk's AI-driven NAND rally has pushed the stock to about $1,002.35, but 24/7 Wall St. projects a 12‑month target of $681.04—a ~32% downside—with a Sell rating and 90% confidence. Despite a Q2 EPS beat of $6.20 (about 75% above estimates) and Q3 revenue guidance of $4.40–$4.80B, analysts warn the rally may be priced beyond fundamentals given NAND cyclicality and potential overhangs, while bulls see upside to $1,350–$2,600 if memory demand remains strong.

This surge follows a recent funding round valuing Anthropic at about $380 billion, while OpenAI faces weaker demand on the same platform.
