The market for AI investments is set to expand significantly with a new wave of initial public offerings. The trend was kicked off by AI chip maker Cerebras Systems, which completed a $5.5 billion IPO in May. This is seen as the precursor to even larger and more anticipated offerings. Headlining the upcoming pipeline is SpaceX, which is reportedly preparing for a historic IPO in June 2026. The company is targeting a valuation of $1.75 trillion, which would make it the largest IPO ever. Other major private AI players, including OpenAI and Anthropic, are also expected to go public, providing investors with direct ways to invest in foundational model developers. The SpaceX IPO has notable implications for existing public companies. Alphabet, for example, holds a roughly 6% stake in SpaceX. At a $1.75-2T valuation, that stake could be worth up to $120 billion, providing a significant, non-core value unlock for the tech giant.
