SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 per share on June 11, raising $75 billion — the largest offering in market history, more than 2.5x Saudi Aramco's 2019 record. The company begins trading today on Nasdaq under SPCX at a $1.77 trillion implied valuation, which places it above every semiconductor company on earth. The relevant compute layer: SpaceX's February 2026 merger with xAI folded in the Colossus data center — 220,000 Nvidia GPUs across 300 megawatts of power — alongside a contract with Anthropic worth $1.25 billion per month, or roughly $40 billion over the life of the agreement.

The S-1 does not disaggregate compute, Starlink, or launch into standalone segments, so buyers this morning are underwriting all three at once without a clean multiple on any of them individually. Starlink is the only segment posting consistent GAAP operating profit ($4.4 billion on $11.4 billion in 2025 revenue). The orbital AI compute ambition — AI1 satellites with 120–150 kW compute payloads — does not yet exist at commercial scale. The market will decide today whether that ambition trades at a compute multiple, a satellite multiple, or something else entirely. Watch the opening print and whether SPCX closes above $135 — the price at which institutional investors accepted the bundled thesis.

Private Companies
AnthropicPartnership

Anthropic and DXC Technology announced a multi-year global alliance to deploy Claude models inside mission-critical enterprise systems at the world's largest banks, airlines, insurers, manufacturers, and government agencies. DXC becomes a Global Premier partner in the Claude Partner Network and has committed to training tens of thousands of Claude-certified engineers. Initial deployments target insurance, cybersecurity, and application modernization; DXC reported a 10x acceleration in software delivery on its OASIS platform using Claude, with more than 95% of code generated by the model. The structural implication for the compute stack: large-scale enterprise agentic deployments routed through a major IT services integrator represent a new distribution channel for inference volume — demand that ultimately lands on the GPU and accelerator infrastructure Anthropic runs on.

Public Markets
TSMC$421.07▲3.01%Mkt Cap: $2.18T

TSMC reported May 2026 revenue of $13.25 billion, up 30% year-over-year and 1.5% sequentially from April, with high-performance computing — including AI accelerators — at roughly 60% of revenue. The sequential acceleration suggests AI-driven demand is sustaining, not plateauing, heading into the second half.

Applied Materials$537.88▲8.22%Mkt Cap: $467B

AMAT raised its full-year 2026 semiconductor equipment growth forecast from above 20% to above 30%; Cantor Fitzgerald lifted its price target to $650. The revised forecast signals that equipment suppliers are seeing durable multi-year capex commitment from chip manufacturers — not a front-loaded build that burns off in the near term.

Emerging

Nasdaq's June 2026 quarterly rebalance, announced after market close on June 11, adds CoreWeave, Nebius, and Astera Labs to the Nasdaq-100 alongside Rocket Lab and Teradyne, effective June 22. CoreWeave and Nebius jumped 7–8% in after-hours trading; Astera Labs gained approximately 5%.

Three pure-play AI compute infrastructure companies entering the index in a single quarterly cycle is a structural marker: passive funds, ETFs, and rules-based strategies tracking the NDX become required buyers at the June 22 open. That creates a structural bid for what were, until recently, venture-grade assets. The accumulation window runs from now through June 21.
