Summary
SpaceX is poised to make a jaw-dropping stock market debut, projected to hit a valuation of over $1.75 trillion, igniting speculation that AI giants like Anthropic and OpenAI could follow suit. For KiwiSaver investors in New Zealand, exposure will likely come through index-tracking funds — even if you didn’t realize it, you might already own shares indirectly via big tech investments in AI startups. As SpaceX joins major indexes faster than usual, ETFs will need to sell other stocks to buy its shares, potentially nudging down those companies’ prices slightly — but the impact is expected to be minimal given SpaceX’s massive scale. While hype paints it as an AI powerhouse, its rocket business remains the core engine — and retail investors may get a front-row seat to this historic IPO, even as institutions tread cautiously.
