NASDAQ:MSFT 30 May 2026 - 9 June 2026

On June 22, 2026, U.S. stock indexes diverged as the S&P 500 fell 0.48% and the Nasdaq dropped 1.41%, weighed down by losses in Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft, while the Dow gained 0.12% to finish at 51,709.80. Alphabet shares lost about 5.5%-6%, dragging down the tech sector, but gains in Caterpillar and Visa helped the Dow outperform. Microsoft’s West Texas power deal gave Caterpillar a direct role in a large AI data-center energy project, with co-located power emerging as a catalyst for demand in engines, turbines, and service contracts. Chevron agreed to supply natural-gas power to Microsoft’s new data center in Pecos, Texas under a 20-year deal, reflecting a shift in AI focus from software growth to securing energy. Microsoft reported Azure grew 40%, but its shares slipped near midday. Jefferies projected about $350 billion in index fund trades at the close of the Russell U.S. index rebalancing, with SpaceX set to join the Russell 1000. Congressional filings showed significant stakes held in major tech companies including Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Broadcom, Microsoft, Nvidia, Salesforce, and Visa, with options exercised in Alphabet, Amazon, and others. Recent trading sessions were marked by volatility in megacap tech stocks, index reshuffling, and a focus on energy deals linked to AI infrastructure.

  • SpaceX's $2 Trillion Valuation Highlights Key Difference from Tesla's 2010 IPO
    June 22, 2026, 5:36 PM EDT. SpaceX went public this month with a staggering $2 trillion valuation, briefly surpassing Amazon and Microsoft, making it the fourth-most-valuable U.S. stock momentarily. This contrasts sharply with Tesla's 2010 IPO when it was valued modestly relative to big tech giants. Despite SpaceX's growth prospects in space and AI, its high valuation amid ongoing losses poses significant downside risk for investors. Tesla's success stemmed from eventually turning a profit, proving skeptics wrong, a milestone SpaceX has yet to reach. This underscores the importance of valuation in assessing investment risk and potential returns.
