Retail investors are selling shares in leading AI-related semiconductor companies such as Micron Technology and Advanced Micro Devices to raise cash for the upcoming SpaceX IPO, which is set to be the largest in history at $75 billion. This selling pressure has caused notable declines in chip stocks despite recent strong gains. BNP Paribas warns that the SpaceX IPO could trigger significant liquidity shifts, as retail investors typically do not hold large cash reserves and may need to liquidate holdings heavily concentrated in chip stocks and Nasdaq ETFs. SpaceX's IPO, priced at $135 per share with a $1.75 trillion valuation, will begin trading on Friday, with a large portion of shares reserved for retail investors, intensifying the market impact.
