Tech IPOs see major first-day gains, OpenAI reportedly valued at $500B, while lockup expirations may create volatility
EDITOR'S NOTE:The market is showing patterns reminiscent of previous tech booms, with some IPOs experiencing first-day gains exceeding 250% and AI company valuations reaching unprecedented levels. StubHub's anticipated September debut and CoreWeave's recent lockup expiration are drawing significant trader interest. Are you prepared for potential market movements ahead?
The tech IPO market has shown renewed vigor with Figma (FIG) gaining 250% on its debut according to reports, while industry sources suggest over 24 unicorns valued above $10 billion may be considering public offerings before year-end. Simultaneously, OpenAI's reported $500 billion valuation--up from a reported $300 billion just five months ago--has investors exploring potential indirect exposure through companies like Microsoft (MSFT) and Nvidia (NVDA).
In the crypto space, Gemini's IPO filing showing losses contrasts with Circle's (CRCL) reported 168% first-day surge, while CoreWeave (CRWV) has declined approximately 46% from its peak as shares become available following lockup expiration. These developments may be creating potential entry points that some traders are evaluating.
Figma's pullback from $143 to $88.60 has formed what some technical analysts view as a consolidation pattern, with the stock currently trading approximately 27% below its peak. StubHub's anticipated pricing, if it comes in below $50 per share as some analysts expect, could potentially represent a discount relative to comparable ticketing platforms based on enterprise value metrics. CoreWeave (CRWV) appears to be testing support in the $91-95 range after declining from highs near $190, with Nvidia's disclosed 6.5% stake potentially providing some price support according to market observers.
Some analysts suggest StubHub could be interesting below $50 with potential upside to $65, though investors should consider protective stops around $42. For Microsoft (MSFT), entry between $410-420 could potentially target the $475 area within 12-18 months according to some estimates, based on OpenAI partnership benefits. Gemini (GEMI) might become attractive below $15 per share with some analysts suggesting a $22 target, though the suggested 25% stop-loss at $11 reflects the company's reported financial challenges. CoreWeave's potential entry between $75-85 could target a possible rebound toward $115 according to some technical analysts, with dollar-cost averaging potentially appropriate as lockup-related selling may continue.
IPO activity has reportedly increased 48% year-over-year with 123 offerings through July 31 according to market data, while Figma's reported 40x oversubscription suggests strong institutional interest. Circle's trading volume reportedly reached 23.2 million shares Friday with after-hours trading above $150, potentially indicating continued interest in crypto-related equities. CoreWeave's elevated volume following lockup expiration follows patterns that sometimes, though not always, coincide with price stabilization. StubHub's reported $2.1 billion in Q1 gross merchandise sales, up 15% year-over-year, may suggest operational momentum ahead of its anticipated September roadshow.
Risk management experts suggest IPO positions might warrant just 2-3% portfolio allocation given historical first-year performance patterns. CoreWeave may require wider stop-losses around $65 to accommodate potential lockup-related volatility, while Gemini's reported $282.5 million losses on $67.9 million revenue suggests elevated risk. Microsoft might offer relatively lower volatility with suggested stops near $390, though all investments carry risk. Traders may want to monitor Figma's $33 IPO price as a potential support level, with any break below possibly signaling broader IPO market challenges.
The convergence of renewed IPO activity, significant AI company valuations, and evolving crypto markets may present both opportunities and risks for investors. StubHub's anticipated September debut and CoreWeave's post-lockup trading could potentially offer interesting setups, though past performance never guarantees future results. Investors might benefit from comprehensive analysis and careful risk management when evaluating these opportunities. With numerous companies reportedly considering public offerings and OpenAI's eventual IPO a possibility, having access to quality research and analysis could prove valuable in navigating these markets.
