#分享美股交易赢英伟达股票 Former Lehman Brothers trader and founder of the “Bear Trap Report,” Larry McDonald, warns that investors chasing SpaceX’s massive IPO could end up repeating the same mistakes made before the Amazon internet bubble burst.
He believes investors are being blinded by SpaceX’s valuation. If it achieves a $2 trillion valuation, it would need $1500 trillion to $1900 trillion in revenue to generate returns similar to Tesla’s—which is “extremely unrealistic.”
SpaceX could be the largest IPO in Wall Street history. It is seeking at least a $1.8 trillion valuation and plans to raise up to $75 billion. Its IPO filings show revenue of $18.7 billion in 2025 and $4.7 billion in the first quarter of 2026, along with grand goals spanning multiple fields.
McDonald says the market is overly reliant on artificial intelligence narratives, with investors pricing in future earnings ahead of time while paying insufficient attention to risks. He calls the IPO wave of SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic a “once-in-a-century event.” The three combined valuations have surged from about $760 billion a year earlier to $3.5 trillion.
McDonald is worried about the risks to passive investing and retirement accounts. He says accelerated inclusion into indices could force index funds to buy SpaceX stock regardless of valuation, and he urges investors to stop it and protect 401(k) retirement accounts. Nasdaq and FTSE Russell have already amended their rules, and S&P Dow Jones Indices is also considering similar changes. Bloomberg estimates that if S&P adopts rapid inclusion, passive funds could absorb nearly $20 billion worth of SpaceX stock. $SPCX
