The source is a fragmented discussion about large private-company revenue/ARR milestones (e.g., “$30B ARR”), comparisons to early NASDAQ-era growth, and a broad “historic IPO wave” framing, with mentions of SpaceX, xAI/Grok, Anthropic, and OpenAI. It contains no concrete timing, pricing, filing details, or specific IPO candidates beyond speculative references, so actionable trading signal is limited.

Post claims Alphabet is proposing an ~$80B equity capital raise; author comments (in Russian) they expected a lot of issuance this year and new records, and suggests that at current prices/uncertainty “it’s better to do paper (equity)”. No details on structure/timing/confirmation.

Post claims Alphabet is proposing an ~$80B equity capital raise; author notes 2026 could see large equity issuance and argues selling stock at current prices/uncertainty can be preferable to borrowing. If true, this is materially dilutive and would likely be a near-term negative catalyst for Alphabet and potentially a mild headwind for mega-cap tech sentiment; also a potential positive for equity underwriting fees at large investment banks.

Источник утверждает, что рынок IPO «разогрелся» и начинается «великий AI кэшаут»: планы по объему размещений на год были ~$160 млрд, при этом AI-эмитенты (пример: Cerebras) увеличивают размер IPO (апсайз ~+50% от предварительных цифр). Делается вывод, что рынок потенциально может приблизиться/превзойти уровни 2021 года (тогда ~260…).

Пост описывает «разогрев» рынка IPO и возможный крупный выход («AI cashout») через размещения AI-компаний (пример: Cerebras увеличивает размер IPO). Автор предполагает, что объемы IPO могут приблизиться/превысить уровни 2021 года. Риск/страхи по «заливу» (просадке) рынок, по мнению автора, игнорирует — формируется консенсус «не так страшно», то есть режим risk-on может продолжиться, пока «музыка играет».
