SpaceX in Talks with Saudi Fund for $5B IPO Investment

/in /tarafından

SpaceX is reportedly in discussions with Public Investment Fund (PIF) over a potential $5 billion anchor investment ahead of its anticipated initial public offering.

The investment would help secure a cornerstone position for PIF in the IPO while limiting dilution of its existing stake, which is currently just under 1%. The talks are part of SpaceX’s broader effort to line up major institutional investors before launching what could become one of the largest IPOs in history.

The company is targeting a fundraising total of around $75 billion, a scale that would surpass previous landmark listings such as Saudi Aramco and Alibaba.

Led by Elon Musk, SpaceX has been actively gauging investor demand as it prepares for its market debut later this year. Anchor investors are expected to play a key role in stabilizing the offering and signaling confidence to broader markets.

The potential deal would further deepen ties between Musk’s business ecosystem and Saudi Arabia’s investment arm, which has already committed significant capital to related AI and technology initiatives.

While discussions are ongoing, sources indicate that no final agreement has been reached and terms remain subject to change.

SK Hynix Plans US Listing to Fund AI Expansion

/in /tarafından

SK Hynix said it plans a confidential filing for a U.S. stock market listing in the second half of 2026, a move that could raise up to $14 billion and become one of the largest offerings in recent years.

The South Korean chipmaker said it aims to complete the listing within 2026, though the final size, structure and timing have not yet been determined. A source familiar with the discussions said the company may sell around 2% to 3% of its shares, using the proceeds to help finance new chip plants in Yongin, South Korea, and Indiana in the United States.

The plan comes as SK Hynix continues to expand production to meet strong demand for memory chips used in artificial intelligence data centers. The company is one of the world’s biggest memory chipmakers and has been increasing investment as AI infrastructure spending rises globally.

Management has also framed the U.S. listing as a way to achieve a better market valuation by being compared more directly with American semiconductor peers. Analysts say such a move could highlight SK Hynix’s profitability and technological strengths more clearly for global investors.

At the same time, the plan has drawn criticism from some shareholder advocates, who argue that issuing new shares could dilute existing investors. They have instead called for buybacks and alternative listing structures that would preserve shareholder value while still supporting a U.S. market debut.
