SpaceX’s $75 Billion IPO Asks Investors to Underwrite 2030 Results
Renaissance Capital senior strategist Matt Kennedy told Bloomberg Deals that SpaceX’s planned $75bn IPO carries a “very steep” price, even if the company is not a dot-com-style story without substance. Kennedy argued that the valuation can only be justified by looking out to 2028, 2029 or 2030, making the deal a test of investors’ willingness to underwrite future results rather than near-term profits. He also described the listing’s size and structure as unprecedented and potentially important for whether the IPO market can reopen.
Snowflake Raises Outlook After $6 Billion Amazon Cloud Agreement
Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy told Bloomberg that the company’s stronger outlook reflects AI-driven demand for its data platform, not a threat to its software model. He argued that Snowflake’s $6 billion multiyear Amazon agreement will lower infrastructure costs, support cheaper AI pricing for customers and strengthen joint selling, while product adoption and revenue metrics show AI increasing consumption on the platform.
Scarce Infrastructure Is Driving Valuations for Nvidia, SpaceX, and AI Labs
DA Davidson’s Gil Luria and Switchyard Partners’ Joe Kaiser argue that Nvidia’s latest earnings reinforce a broader market bet on companies controlling scarce AI and space infrastructure. Luria says Jensen Huang used the quarter to show Nvidia’s competitors still lack meaningful traction, while Kaiser says the company’s moat lies as much in TSMC advanced packaging capacity and networking scale as in chips. They extend the same framework to SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic: valuations depend on whether these companies can secure the physical capacity needed to turn demand into revenue.
