Summary

The program covers a blockbuster week for IPOs led by SpaceX's record-setting $75B debut, with experts debating whether broad IPO baskets make more sense than chasing mega names. Other topics include a $35B Anthropic chip deal backstopped by Broadcom, Super Micro's dilutive $7B equity raise for AI servers, and consolidation trends in asset management favoring large platforms like Blackstone, Apollo, and Ares.

  • SpaceX's IPO dominates with a fixed $135 price and massive institutional demand, expected to trade Friday.
  • IPO experts urge a diversified index approach over betting on single mega IPOs, citing historical drawdowns and supply overhangs.
  • Anthropic secures a $35B private credit package led by Apollo and Blackstone, backstopped by Broadcom, to fund AI chip purchases.
  • Super Micro Computer announces a $7B equity offering for AI servers, diluting shareholders by ~30% despite reporting $39B in orders.
  • Jeff Perlman of Warburg Pincus warns that mega IPO early index inclusion could force passive selling in other stocks.
  • Alex Kelly of Latham & Watkins predicts ongoing asset management consolidation, with large players using M&A to fill platform gaps.
Ideas

Broadcom secures huge AI chip revenue
Broadcom backstopped the $35 billion Anthropic chip financing, guaranteeing the debt and securing a massive $36 billion order for its TPUs. Without Broadcom's investment-grade guarantee, the chip sale wouldn't have happened, meaning Broadcom locks in significant AI infrastructure revenue.

U.S. IPO basket is a golden opportunity
The IPO market is entering a golden age with a unique opportunity for investors. The best returns come from a diversified basket of U.S. domiciled, non-sexy names—IPOs, spinoffs, and SPACs—rather than chasing single mega IPOs. A broad IPO index approach captures the 1-2 big winners while avoiding the many underperformers.
Matt Kennedy Senior Strategist, Renaissance Capital 18:07
SpaceX IPO is too expensive on day one
SpaceX's IPO price tag is extremely steep, requiring belief in 2028-2030 numbers to justify the market cap. Buying an entire position on day one is not advisable; purchases should be spread over months. Short-term volatility is the price of admission, but the initial valuation likely offers poor risk/reward.
Alex Kelly Global Co-Chair, M&A and Private Equity, Latham & Watkins 31:58
Large alternative asset managers will keep winning
Consolidation in asset management is accelerating. Large managers are acquiring talent, scaling platforms, and adding secondary capabilities. LP capital is concentrating in a few mega-managers, creating a perfect environment for big players like Blackstone, Apollo, and Ares to keep growing and outperforming.
