AI IPO surge hinges on buyer appetite, not just company quality, warns strategist.

JonesTrading strategist Mike O'Rourke highlights that the upcoming wave of AI IPOs, including Anthropic, SpaceX, and OpenAI, depends more on what investors are willing to pay than on the companies' fundamentals. Anthropic targets a 40-50x revenue multiple based on optimistic 2028 sales projections, similar to Palantir and Cloudflare, which already trade at high multiples. Concerns include the market's capacity to absorb large new share supplies and the risks of circular financing, where companies borrow to fund valuations. NVIDIA, central to AI infrastructure, shows strong growth but also exemplifies the high valuations in this sector. The key question remains how much future growth is priced into these AI stocks as they compete for limited capital.
