IPOs

HKEX’s newly listed ledger records SHEIN-W on 1 September with an unstarred date, settling the first-trade clock. No verified offer price, intraday low or closing print accompanies that listing record.

Yushu Technology, ticker 688836, began continuous trading on Shanghai’s STAR Market on 19 August. The stock opened at 1,100 yuan against an issue price of 150.80 and closed at 845, up 460 percent.

Unitree will offer 40.45 million new shares, equal to 10% of the enlarged company, as humanoids become its largest business. The house gives public STAR Market trading by 30 September a 0.82 probability.

Agility Robotics is going public through a $2.5 billion SPAC, the first pure-play humanoid maker on a US exchange, while Unitree has filed to list in Shanghai. The robots are still learning to walk a shift; their makers are already learning to raise from the public.

SK Hynix opened at $170 and closed near $168, up about 13% from its $149 offer, valuing the memory maker close to a trillion dollars. The desk had called a hold at or above the offer; the market answered louder, and the company says the chip shortage behind it only deepens.

SK Hynix priced its US listing at $149 a share and raised about $26.5 billion, the largest ever by a foreign company on Wall Street. It began trading in New York today; the bet underneath is the high-bandwidth memory bolted to almost every AI accelerator.

SK Hynix set the price for its Nasdaq debut after orders ran more than seven times the shares on offer, sizing the raise near $28 billion. It would rank among the largest share sales ever, and it rests on one bet: that AI's hunger for high-bandwidth memory holds.

Embodied AI now competes on two ledgers: reviewable deployments and press attention. Factory lines, unit milestones, and a regulator’s IPO approval advanced the deployment side this week, while Optimus coverage ran ahead without a dated company filing behind it.

A week after the IPO, SpaceX is no longer trading mainly as a Mars story. It is trading as a public-market machine in which float, options, index rules, lockups, merger arithmetic and debt capacity all feed back into the same variable: SPCX.

The Cursor deal turns SPCX from a market verdict into an acquisition input. SpaceX is now using the public float, options market, ratings shelf and Starlink cash flow as parts of the same capital machine.

The options market has made SpaceX trade less like a newly public aerospace company and more like a market-structure instrument. The issue is not whether a squeeze has happened, but whether price, float, options flow and all-stock dealmaking have become mutually reinforcing inputs.

SpaceX’s $60 billion all-stock deal for Anysphere is a filing-grounded pivot from launch and satellites toward AI infrastructure. The risk is that the AI buildout still depends on large, terminable compute leases while the segment is deeply loss-making.

The debut was not just a capital raise. It created a small public float, huge demand, staged insider liquidity and a plausible index-buyer chase before meaningful supply arrives.

The $75 billion IPO gave public investors a low-vote slice of rockets, Starlink, defense launch and AI-compute leases. The tape loved the scarcity. S&P did not: no fast track, no float, no profits yet.

SpaceX had the biggest IPO in history on Friday. By the closing bell Elon Musk was the first trillionaire, about 4,000 employees were millionaires, and the people who put up the money got almost none of the votes. Here's what they actually bought.
