Wedbush analyst Dan Ives on Sunday called the public debut of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: SPCX) a definitive triumph for the technology sector, arguing that its successful pricing effectively clears the runway for impending artificial intelligence IPOs.

A ‘Goldilocks Outcome’ For Tech

In a market commentary shared by an X commentator and subsequently reposted by Ives, the prominent analyst addressed widespread investor anxieties that the space giant’s public listing would “suck oxygen out of the tech and AI trade.”

While acknowledging that recent weakness in chip stocks was tied to the IPO’s immediate ripple effect, Ives dismissed the pessimistic narrative following Friday’s opening bell.
