  • SpaceX Seeks to Lower IPO Underwriting Fees, Banks Still Expected to Earn $500 Million

    On June 2, SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk, is negotiating with Wall Street investment banks handling its IPO, aiming to pay a significantly reduced fee rate. However, even with a substantial reduction in fees, the banks responsible for this record-setting IPO are still expected to earn approximately $500 million from it. The aerospace and AI group plans to go public this month with a fundraising target of $75 billion. According to insiders, the company is currently trying to lower the underwriting fee rate to below 0.75%. Although this rate is much lower than the usual level, it will still become one of the most profitable IPOs in history for the Wall Street banks involved. As the lead underwriters for this IPO, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are expected to receive a larger share of the underwriting fees compared to the other 21 participating brokerages. Insiders noted that these figures only reflect the base underwriting fees paid by SpaceX and do not include any potential additional incentive fees. Due to the discussions being confidential, sources requested anonymity. Representatives for SpaceX, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley declined to comment.

  • Wall Street Analysts Begin to Express Skepticism After Two Months of Rising Stock Market

    On June 2, the U.S. stock market may continue to set new records, but Wall Street analysts tracking these markets are not in a hurry to keep pace with the rising trend. Researchers are downgrading ratings for companies within the S&P 500 index. According to Jefferies, the proportion of components rated 'buy' in the broader Russell 3000 index is nearly the same as it was four years ago, significantly lower than the peak levels during the dot-com bubble. Regardless of the exact reasons behind this new skepticism, it is seen as a positive development. From a contrarian perspective, this suggests that market sentiment has not yet reached the kind of extreme exuberance typically indicative of a market top. Andrew Greenbein, Senior Vice President of Equity Research Product Management at Jefferies, stated, 'I usually consider market sentiment from the perspective of whether there are more new buyers or sellers. Currently, the sell side has not shown any signs of buying.'
