According to Barron's, SpaceX shares surged 19% to $161.11 on their first trading day on June 12, compared to the $135 IPO price. The rally reflects investor optimism around the company's orbital data center ambitions and GPU rental business.
Google signed a cloud services agreement to rent approximately 110,000 Nvidia GPUs from SpaceX for $920 million monthly, while Anthropic committed to $1.5 billion per month for roughly 325,000 GPU units. Nvidia stock gained only 0.1% the same day, down 9% over the past month amid competition concerns in the AI chip market.
