AI-driven IPO surge in 2026 echoes 1999 Internet Boom with high valuations despite losses

The 2026 IPO wave, led by AI-focused companies like Coreweave, is drawing comparisons to the late-stage exuberance of the 1999 Internet Boom and the 2021 SPAC surge. Coreweave raised $1.5 billion despite significant losses, and shares have since dropped 40%, signaling investor caution. Major tech IPOs such as SpaceX and Anthropic are valued in the multi-trillions despite ongoing losses and competitive pressures. Insider selling at AMD and Nvidia and large off-balance sheet liabilities at hyperscalers highlight growing market risks amid increasing concentration.
