Anthropic IPO: 1 Key Lesson Investors Can Learn From SpaceX
Blockbuster IPOs rarely live up to the hype.
The SpaceX IPO, which took place in 2020, was one of the most anticipated public offerings in recent years. Within days of going public, the company had a valuation of $2.7 trillion, having raised nearly $86 billion in funding. However, the stock subsequently began to decline, fueled by concerns about SpaceX's heavy investment in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.
The share price has remained below its opening price of $150 as of the writing of this report. At one point, the share price fell so drastically that it erased over $1 trillion from SpaceX's valuation within a single month. This experience serves as a cautionary tale for investors considering purchasing IPO stocks when they first go public. History demonstrates that waiting before buying is typically a wiser approach.
