SpaceX Shares Plunge 16% on $20 Billion Bond Offering Despite Securing $6.3 Billion AI Computing Deal
SpaceX closed down over 16% at $154.59 on June 22, marking its third consecutive day of losses and erasing all gains from its record-setting IPO debut. The stock, which priced at $135 on June 12 and briefly pushed the company's market capitalization past Amazon and Microsoft, wiped out approximately $400 billion in market value during the session. The selloff accelerated after SpaceX launched its inaugural offering of senior unsecured notes targeting at least $20 billion. The company received investment-grade ratings from major agencies, with Fitch assigning BBB+ (Stable), Moody's rating Baa1 (Stable), and S&P assigning BBB (Stable). Proceeds will repay the company's bridge loan facility and fund general corporate purposes. According to SEC filings, SpaceX held $100.8 billion in cash as of June 19. Despite the stock decline, SpaceX announced a significant $6.3 billion compute agreement with open-source AI startup Reflection AI. The deal grants Reflection access to Nvidia GB300 chips at SpaceX's Colossus 2 data center, with payments of $150 million per month starting July 1, 2026, running through 2029. This marks SpaceX's latest move into AI infrastructure monetization. KeyBanc initiated coverage with a Sector Weight rating, citing the company's dominance in space launch and Starlink's profitable growth trajectory, while noting AI as a long-term catalyst. However, analysts expressed concern that growth prospects may already be reflected in the near-$185 share price reached during the post-IPO rally. The broader space sector also declined, with Virgin Galactic dropping 11% and Rocket Lab falling 8% despite its NASDAQ 100 debut. Elon Musk's net worth reportedly fell by over $300 billion as SpaceX shares retreated to their lowest level since going public.

AbbVie Acquires Apogee Therapeutics for $10.9 Billion to Strengthen Immunology Portfolio
AbbVie Inc. agreed to acquire Apogee Therapeutics Inc. for $10.9 billion in cash, valuing the biotech company at $135.11 per share—a roughly 60% premium to its previous closing price. The deal represents one of AbbVie's largest acquisitions in recent years as the pharmaceutical giant seeks to bolster its anti-inflammatory drug portfolio amid growing competition for its best-selling medications. Apogee Therapeutics' shares surged 47-56% in premarket trading, hitting an all-time high of $132.61 before market open. The acquisition centers on Apogee's lead drug candidate, zumilokibart, an experimental treatment being developed for eczema and other immunological conditions. The transaction positions AbbVie to strengthen its immunology franchise with next-generation therapies. Market reaction was positive across both companies, with AbbVie shares gaining following the announcement. The deal drove significant trading activity, with Apogee Therapeutics becoming one of the most active stocks in premarket trading. Analyst coverage shifted following the announcement, with Craig-Hallum issuing a price target of $135.11 matching the acquisition price, while Wedbush downgraded its recommendation from Outperform to Neutral. The acquisition is expected to close pending regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. The transaction underscores continued consolidation in the biotechnology sector as major pharmaceutical companies seek to secure promising drug candidates in competitive therapeutic areas.

Amazon Stock Slides 4% Amid Tech Selloff as Prime Day Spending Forecast Hits Record $26.3 Billion
Amazon shares fell 4% on June 22 as part of a broader technology sector decline, with the S&P 500's major tech names sliding on concerns over AI infrastructure spending. The drop came despite positive developments for the company heading into its crucial Prime Day sales event. Adobe Analytics projects Amazon Prime Day will generate record online spending of $26.3 billion, up 9% from the previous year. The four-day event, arriving earlier than usual, is being closely watched as a barometer of U.S. consumer health. Analysts note shoppers are increasingly focused on household basics, groceries, and back-to-school items rather than discretionary purchases, reflecting potential consumer strain. Amazon announced a partnership with ArcelorMittal and AWS to automate the steelmaker's global operations using AI-driven technology. The company also reported its data centers use 86% less water than the industry average and is testing an enhanced Alexa service with Hindi language support in India. Market analysts issued bullish predictions for Amazon, with some forecasting the company will surpass Microsoft's market capitalization and join the $3 trillion club by summer's end. However, concerns about elevated AI capital expenditures across hyperscale cloud providers weighed on sentiment. The broader tech sector faced headwinds as Alphabet dropped 6% after Google DeepMind's Nobel Prize-winning scientist John Jumper announced his departure to join Anthropic. Micron surged 5.5% on news of a strategic AI infrastructure agreement with Anthropic covering memory and storage supply. Retail competitors including Walmart and Target are running concurrent promotional events to capture Prime Day spillover traffic. Amazon's performance during this sales period will provide critical insight into consumer spending patterns and the company's AI-enhanced shopping strategy.

Google Loses $269 Billion in Market Value as Nobel Prize Winner Defects to Anthropic
Alphabet shares plunged over 6% on Monday, marking the company's worst single-day decline in over a year, after Google DeepMind lost another high-profile AI researcher to a competitor. Nobel Prize-winning data scientist John Jumper announced his departure to join Anthropic, intensifying investor concerns about Google's ability to retain top AI talent. The exodus follows the recent departure of Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer to OpenAI, for whom Google paid $2.7 billion in 2024 to bring back to the company. The back-to-back defections have raised questions about whether Google is falling behind rivals in the intensifying competition for AI expertise, with the stock erasing approximately $269 billion in market capitalization. Despite the talent losses, Google announced several strategic AI initiatives. The company invested $75 million in independent film studio A24, marking Google's first stake in a movie studio, as part of a multi-year AI research partnership between Google DeepMind and A24 to develop AI tools for film production and distribution. Additionally, Nokia expanded its partnership with Google Cloud to integrate Gemini AI models into its network operations software suite. Google also backed a $3.2 billion AI chip development effort aimed at competing with Nvidia, while reportedly working on an enhanced TPU V9 chip with MediaTek as a key development partner. The company's CEO stated that AI has completely changed the revenue picture for the business. Analysts offered mixed reactions to the developments. Citizens maintained its Market Outperform rating with a $515 price target, approximately 40% above current levels, while Jefferies reiterated its Buy rating despite the executive departures. However, the stock's decline dragged down both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, with broader concerns emerging about AI capital expenditure across major tech companies. Amazon also fell 4% amid similar anxieties about hyperscaler spending.

AbbVie Acquires Apogee Therapeutics for $10.9 Billion to Strengthen Immunology Portfolio
AbbVie Inc. agreed to acquire Apogee Therapeutics for $10.9 billion in cash, valuing the biotech company at $135.11 per share, representing approximately a 53-60% premium to its previous closing price. The deal, announced June 22, 2026, marks one of AbbVie's largest acquisitions in recent years. The acquisition aims to bolster AbbVie's immunology portfolio amid growing competition for its best-selling drugs. Apogee's lead asset, zumilokibart, is an extended half-life IL-13 antibody being developed for atopic dermatitis (eczema) and represents next-generation immunology treatments that could protect AbbVie's immunology franchise. Apogee Therapeutics shares surged 47-56% in premarket trading following the announcement, while AbbVie stock also gained. The transaction is expected to sharpen AbbVie's focus on immunology and strengthen its competitive position in the anti-inflammatory drug market. Separately, AbbVie's Allergan Aesthetics division received FDA approval for Skinvive by Juvederm. Analysts maintained bullish ratings on related immunology stocks following the deal announcement, with Truist reiterating Buy ratings on companies like Kymera Therapeutics. The acquisition is expected to drive increased option volume for AbbVie shares.
