Tom Lee's clients are worried SpaceX IPO will mark a market top. He's not
The Fundstrat managing partner and head of research said that there's enough cash on the sidelines that public markets can absorb the Elon Musk company's debut.
TL;DR
- Concerns that the market lacks liquidity for mega-IPOs, including SpaceX's, are overblown.
- There is $7 trillion in cash on the sidelines, with high-net-worth clients having significant funds available.
- The market is expected to absorb the SpaceX IPO well and perform positively post-IPO, despite potential volatility beforehand.
- Fears of a repeat of the 1999 dot-com bubble's top after lockup expirations are unwarranted.
- AI companies like SpaceX require continued access to public markets for capital, influencing their post-lockup behavior.
