<strong>SpaceX<\/strong> is upending traditional IPO structures by lining up a record <strong>30% allocation for retail investors<\/strong> in its upcoming public offering. The company is reportedly seeking to raise <strong>$75 billion<\/strong> at a price of <strong>$135 per share<\/strong>, which would imply a total market valuation of approximately <strong>$1.75 trillion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts note that while the high retail participation could fuel initial excitement, it may also lead to <em>heightened volatility<\/em> during the stock&#39;s early trading days. The move is seen as a strategic play to capitalize on Musk\u2019s dedicated investor base, even as institutional valuation models struggle to price the company\u2019s diverse aerospace and satellite internet interests.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Global_Chip_Stocks_Reeling_from_Broadcom_Outlook\"><\/span>Global Chip Stocks Reeling from Broadcom Outlook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The semiconductor sector faced a sharp correction on Friday as <strong>SK hynix<\/strong> and <strong>Samsung Electronics (<a href=\"\/stock\/SSNLF\">SSNLF<\/a>)<\/strong> led a regional decline in Asian markets. The sell-off was triggered by <strong>Broadcom (<a href=\"\/stock\/AVGO\">AVGO<\/a>)<\/strong>, which reported AI-related revenue guidance that fell short of aggressive market expectations, despite showing triple-digit year-on-year growth.<\/p>\n<p>Compounding sector concerns, <strong>Trump administration officials<\/strong> expressed alarm over reports that Chinese firms have been legally bypassing export bans to acquire <strong>Nvidia (<a href=\"\/stock\/NVDA\">NVDA<\/a>)<\/strong> Blackwell chips. The <strong>U.S. Commerce Department<\/strong> has reportedly issued new guidance to close these &quot;shipping routes,&quot; which previously allowed Chinese subsidiaries in countries like Malaysia to purchase advanced AI hardware without a license.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Central_Bank_and_Corporate_Governance_Shifts\"><\/span>Central Bank and Corporate Governance Shifts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Reserve Bank of India<\/strong> held its benchmark repo rate steady at <strong>5.25%<\/strong> for the second consecutive meeting.
