    SpaceX Completes Largest IPO in History; Issues $25B in Bonds for AI Expansion

    Question

    SpaceX Completes Largest IPO in History; Issues $25B in Bonds for AI Expansion

    Direct answer

    The SpaceX IPO represents a watershed moment for public markets, introducing a massive new constituent to major indices. However, the subsequent pullback from $226 to $162 suggests that even the most anticipated offerings are not immune to valuation gravity. The $25 billion bond issuance is particularly notable, as it tests the market's appetite for high-duration tech debt at a time when other AI leaders like Oracle are seeing credit spreads widen.
