This year, the US stock IPO market is expected to welcome heavyweight companies like SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI, but their large valuations may drain investor demand. Renaissance Capital senior strategist Matt Kennedy warns that historical experience suggests that large IPOs like SpaceX can divert market attention, as was the case with Facebook's listing in 2012. Companies will not want SpaceX to overshadow their own trading progress, so IPO activities may slow down in the weeks before and after SpaceX goes public.
