BofA Warns SpaceX, OpenAI IPOs Could Push Tech Weighting Past Bubble Levels
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · May 22
Michael Hartnett said planned listings by SpaceX and OpenAI could drive equity benchmarks into bubble-like tech concentration, extending one of the narrowest market rallies in decades.
SpaceX is pursuing what Hartnett described as the world's biggest IPO, while OpenAI is aiming to reach the market ahead of rival Anthropic.
Those mega-deals would add fresh fuel to investor enthusiasm around big tech and artificial intelligence, sectors already dominating benchmark performance.
Hartnett framed the risk as a replay of Roaring '20s-style excess, with benchmark concentration itself becoming a warning sign for broader market froth.

Mega AI IPOs Set to Reshape Markets: BofA Warns of $3 Trillion Index Shock and Bubble Risks in 2026
Overview
Bank of America has issued a major warning that the upcoming IPOs of AI giants like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic could trigger a market rebalancing shock. These IPOs are expected to rapidly funnel huge amounts of capital into a few tech companies, especially as index rules are being changed to fast-track their inclusion. With the market already at stretched valuations, this could push the technology sector’s weight in major indexes to bubble-like levels. If markets start to cool, investors who bought at ultra-high prices may face significant risks, potentially setting the stage for the next market correction.
