SpaceX Raises $75 Billion in Record IPO as Nasdaq Slides 4.18% on Tech Rotation

3 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · Jun 30

$75 billion from SpaceX’s IPO — the largest in U.S. history — coincided with a 4.18% Nasdaq drop on June 5 as investors made room for the new listing.
Fund managers typically fund IPO allocations by selling similar holdings, and this time the pressure fell on richly valued AI and chip names rather than the broader market.
Anthropic’s planned $30 billion offering and an expected OpenAI IPO could repeat that rotation within 12 months, leaving Nvidia, AMD and other AI infrastructure stocks exposed to another bout of selling.
Ed Yardeni said the overall market can absorb the deals because the combined raises are only about 0.4% of more than $50 trillion in U.S. equity value, making a systemic crash less likely than a targeted tech correction.
Nasdaq’s new fast-track index rules may add SpaceX to the Nasdaq-100 within 15 days, creating passive demand through QQQ while displacing weight from existing heavyweights such as Nvidia, Microsoft and Apple.

Market experts warned that this flood of new shares could overwhelm investor demand, but SpaceX’s rapid inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 index sparked strong interest and drove its stock price higher. This index entry also triggered mandatory buying from institutional investors and funds, amplifying demand and shaping immediate market reactions. The event highlights how major IPOs and index rules can quickly reshape market dynamics and investor behavior.
