Could SpaceX Market Debut Send S&P 500 To 9,000? Evercore ISI Says ‘Dream Big FOMO’ Could Drive It
Evercore ISI's Julian Emanuel predicts SpaceX's (SPCX) market debut could drive the S&P 500 to 9,000, citing 'Dream Big FOMO.' SPCX stock rose nearly 20% and continued gains in after-hours trading. Emanuel compares the enthusiasm to Netscape's 1995 IPO, suggesting it could mark a psychological turning point. He notes record $7.9T in money market funds as potential buying power. SPCX does not currently meet S&P 500 inclusion criteria.
