Let's start with the elephant in the room wearing a SpaceX helmet. Fundstrat's Tom Lee flagged the incoming IPO calendar as one of his top three H2 risk factors, and once you see the numbers, you can't unsee them. SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI could collectively represent roughly $2 trillion in market cap — about 5% of the entire U.S. stock market. The initial float (~$100 billion) is digestible given $7 trillion in cash on the sidelines, but the ~$3 trillion in value that could unlock via lockup expiration is a different conversation entirely. History says it's 50/50. Comforting!
Meanwhile, $CSCO's CEO went on Bloomberg and casually announced a networking supercycle — AI agents consume 450% more bandwidth than humans for equivalent tasks, and Cisco posted 35% product order growth on a $63 billion base. On the legacy hardware side, $DELL surged 33% in a single session after guiding to $167 billion in annual sales including $60 billion from AI servers — blowing past analyst estimates of $142 billion. Jim Cramer asked if this is the moment Dell takes over computing. It's not a crazy question.
TheChartGuys confirm the S&P 500 and NASDAQ are in confirmed meltup/euphoria territory with bulls in full control, but with Iran deal uncertainty sending oil down 2-2.5% on ceasefire hopes and mortgage rates creeping back to 6.6%, the macro backdrop is doing its best to be dramatic. Anthropic, not yet public, is apparently growing from a $10B to $47B revenue run rate in five months — which means whenever that IPO drops, buckle up.
