If SpaceX really lists with a valuation of about $1.75 trillion, the biggest impact on the entire US stock market won't be fundamentals, but capital rotation. A lot of institutions and retail traders will need to sell other stocks to raise cash for buying SpaceX.
In the short term (a few weeks before and after the IPO)
The stocks most likely to be affected are:
* NVIDIA
* Microsoft
* Apple
* Tesla
* AI stocks
* Semiconductor sector
* High-growth tech stocks
These stocks already attract a lot of risk capital, and many investors will reduce their positions to subscribe to SpaceX. Recent studies have shown that some retail traders have already begun selling popular AI stocks to hoard cash in anticipation of the SpaceX IPO.
SOXL will be impacted even more
You asked about SOXL earlier.
If the market sees capital rotation:
* Semiconductor ETFs might drop 5%
* SOXL could drop 10%-15%
Because SOXL is a 3x leveraged product.
So:
* The biggest negative impact of SpaceX's IPO may not be on the S&P 500;
* It’s more likely to hit the AI and semiconductor sectors.
In the medium term (after inclusion in indices)
A bigger impact could come from index funds.
If SpaceX gets included in:
* S&P 500
* NASDAQ-100
Then ETFs tracking these indices will be forced to buy SpaceX while proportionally selling existing constituents.
This means:
Could be reduced Reason
NVIDIA Too big a weight
Microsoft Too big a weight
Apple Too big a weight
Amazon Too big a weight
Meta Too big a weight
These companies have solid fundamentals, but index funds need to free up positions.
Will this cause a major drop in the US stock market?
I believe:
* The overall impact on the S&P 500 will be limited;
* The NASDAQ might see greater volatility;
* The AI and semiconductor sectors will feel the most pressure;
* Space-related stocks could rise.
Similar historical events include:
* Meta IPO
* Alibaba Group IPO
* Saudi Aramco IPO
All experienced short-term capital withdrawal effects, but did not change long-term bull-bear trends.
If I'm looking at the second half of the year
I will focus on:
1. The performance of SpaceX in the first week post-IPO;
2. Whether NVIDIA breaks key support;
3. The capital flow in semiconductor ETFs (SOXX, SMH);
4. Whether SOXL shows consecutive volume drops.
If SpaceX's IPO gets wildly chased, while at the same time we see:
* AI stocks pull back 10%-15%
* Semiconductor sector pull back 15%-20%
I won't be surprised, because the market historically often sees 'sell the old leaders, buy the new stories' capital rotation.
