  • SpaceX's Record IPO Could Boost Stock Market, Says Evercore
    June 20, 2026, 11:45 AM EDT. SpaceX's debut on the Nasdaq (SPCX) raised $75 billion, valuing the company at $1.75 trillion, with shares jumping nearly 19% on the first day. Evercore ISI analysts compare this IPO to Netscape's 1995 launch, suggesting it could reignite enthusiasm around transformative technologies and fuel a new bull market. Unlike the dot-com bubble, current market conditions show no recession fears, moderate Treasury yields, and strong AI-driven earnings growth. IPO volumes remain subdued compared to 1999, reducing speculative risk. Additionally, $7.9 trillion in money market funds could flow into equities, providing support. Evercore keeps its S&P 500 year-end target at 7,750 with a bullish outlook at 9,000, expecting a tech-led rally to continue.
