SpaceX IPO Quiet Period Ends, Wall Street Firms Upgrades Ratings in Rapid Succession
as the 25-day quiet period following SpaceX's (SPCX) June IPO comes to an end, Wall Street analysts have begun releasing formal research reports. Multiple major brokerages have issued favorable ratings, indicating institutional investors remain optimistic about the company's long-term growth potential.As IPO underwriters, both Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have assigned buy-equivalent ratings to SpaceX. Goldman Sachs analyst Eric Sheridan set a price target of $205, while Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas gave a target of $300. Additionally, institutions such as Bank of America, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, and UBS have also initiated coverage with buy or equivalent ratings. Among them, Raymond James Financial provided the most optimistic forecast; analyst Brian Gesuale initiated coverage of SpaceX with a "Strong Buy" rating and a price target as high as $800, believing SpaceX will become "one of the most representative industrial infrastructure companies of the 21st century."Analysis suggests that market optimism towards SpaceX is primarily based on its布局 (layout/foundation) in areas such as rocket launches, Starlink satellite internet, and government contracts. At the same time, the company's communications business can provide a sustainable source of revenue and support future expansion of launch scale.As of March 31, 2026, SpaceX holds 18,712 Bitcoins. Wall Street believes that the concentrated coverage following the end of the IPO quiet period provides a window for institutional investors to conduct their first systematic assessment of SpaceX's valuation. The fact that nearly all major institutions simultaneously issued positive ratings is relatively rare for large-scale IPOs. (CoinDesk)

Serenity: US AI Companies Lower Inference Costs to Counter the "Model Distillation" Challenge
"White-Haired Stock Guru" Serenity stated that while some observations in the UBS report hold anecdotal truth, the more noteworthy trend is the increasing number of Chinese-language reports regarding the distillation of Anthropic's models. Currently, many US startups and tech companies are opting to use cheaper Chinese models (such as DeepSeek) in their AI applications, as their unit task costs are significantly lower than those of inference models from Gemini, OpenAI, and Anthropic.Serenity believes this trend, driven by capitalism, creates a "typical paradox"—companies naturally gravitate towards lower-cost solutions, thereby eroding the leading advantage of US models. He proposes that the US needs to address this on two fronts:First, build stronger access control and authentication systems, such as "heavy KYC frontier models" for domestic US use and tiered access mechanisms for allies, to reduce the risk of model distillation and misuse. This could also be accompanied by introducing an identity verification system akin to "AI-grade banking authentication" (e.g., biometrics + short-lived permission tokens) to raise the barrier for model calls, and using regulatory measures to restrict account sharing and access resale.Second, enhance the cost efficiency of inference models, allowing them to comprehensively outperform competitors like DeepSeek in both price and performance.Serenity also noted that some high-end models are currently frequently targeted for "distillation exploitation." Ideally, access to models nearing the AGI level should involve increased friction costs. In summary, the core challenge for the US AI industry lies in achieving both "low-cost inference capabilities" and establishing model access security mechanisms comparable to those in the financial system.

UBS: Falling Oil Prices Will Ease Pressure on Fed Rate Hikes
Leslie Falconio, currently serving as the head of taxable fixed income strategy at UBS Global Wealth Management, stated that following reports of a deal between the U.S. and Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which suppressed oil prices and triggered a rally in U.S. Treasuries, the pressure for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this year is easing.Leslie Falconio pointed out that even before the ceasefire, as oil prices fell, "the two-year yield was still rising because the market was pricing in nearly 100% probability of a rate hike by December 2026." "What is happening now is that oil prices are falling, and the market is stripping out these rate hike expectations. That is why the two-year yield is declining."New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will chair his first monetary policy decision meeting this week. As surging crude oil prices accelerate inflation, voices within the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) supporting rate hikes this year are growing louder. Leslie Falconio expects the FOMC to formally remove its accommodative bias at this week's meeting, paving the way for a more hawkish outlook. However, she stated that she still expects the next move to be a rate cut, likely in 2027. (Bloomberg)
