SpaceX has recently hit major milestones and is dominating the headlines. Its historic IPO, now fueled by the massive AI boom, is taking a pivotal position as market strategists weigh the staggering numbers.

According to Wall Street, the Elon-Musk led-rocket and satellite company is seeking a $2 trillion valuation after filing its IPO significant prospectus last week.

“This is a company that is investing very heavily, very heavily in capex spend into AI infrastructure and into their Starship vehicle, which is going to enable all of these future businesses," said Chad Anderson, Space Capital founder and CEO. The venture capital firm's largest holding is SpaceX.

The company’s prime objective is to make humanity multiplanetary by establishing a network of orbital AI data centers. 

According to Bloomberg data, the S&P 500 is on track to present its largest earnings growth in five years, adding that several companies outpaced earnings expectations.

“We're on the heels of this bull market that's been driven by an industry that didn't exist four or five years ago," Matt Powers of Powers Advisory Group told Yahoo Finance, noting the popularity of SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic in the private secondary markets

“There’s mania here, obviously,” he said, suggesting it’s best to wait to buy shares after the opening day. “I would give it a few days just to see what shakes out.”

The prime motive of SpaceX is to go public for the same week the Wall Street reported that OpenAI seeks to file confidently with the intention of going public. 

Furthermore, competitor Anthropic is ideal for massive enterprise adoption as the AI developer is all set to report its first operating profit.
