    History Shows IPO Stocks Plunge Up to 48% Within 1 Year of Going Public. Here's Why SpaceX Could Defy the Odds in 2027.

    While IPO stocks historically experience median drawdowns of up to 48% in their first year, SpaceX could defy this trend due to its diversified business model. The company's growth engines include Starlink (13.6M subscribers, 89% YoY growth), AI infrastructure contracts worth billions (including $120.5B with Anthropic and $11B annualized with Alphabet), and a potential merger with Tesla. However, investors should remain disciplined about valuation and the company's ability to convert revenue into free cash flow.

    AI Spending Is Nearing $1 Trillion Annually. These 2 Stocks Are Most at Risk If It Slows.

    Nvidia and Micron have benefited significantly from the AI infrastructure spending boom, with record revenues driven by demand for AI chips and memory. However, both stocks face substantial downside risk if tech giants reduce their AI investments. Nvidia's growth is heavily dependent on continued data center spending, while Micron operates in a cyclical memory business vulnerable to supply-demand imbalances. If AI spending slows, Nvidia appears better positioned to weather the downturn.
