Mario Tama/Getty Images News MSCI ( MSCI ) said it will apply its standard methodology for early inclusion of large IPOs in its Global Standard Indexes, likely paving the way for SpaceX ( SPCX ) to join after it debuts on the Nasdaq on June 12. Elon Musk's SpaceX ( SPCX ) is raising about $75B in its IPO, priced at $135 per share, targeting a $1.75T valuation. Final pricing is expected to be disclosed on June 11. The company is expected to meet MSCI's ( MSCI ) size and free-float criteria for early index inclusion. If MSCI decides to add the stock to its indexes, the decision would be effective as of the close of its tenth day of trading. The inclusion would fuel demand from passively managed investment funds that track MSCI's ( MSCI ) indexes, adding to demand from funds tracking the Nasdaq 100 and FTSE Russell indexes. Nasdaq ( NDAQ ) already updated its rules to allow faster inclusion of newly listed megacaps into the Nasdaq 100 index. FTSE Russell also announced fast-entry rules for Russell U.S. Equity Indexes and FTSE Global Equity Index Series. But S&P Global ( SPGI ) decided not to change its criteria for entry into the benchmark S&P 500, including a rule that requires a company to be profitable. SpaceX ( SPCX ) reported a net loss of $4.94B in 2025. More on SpaceX, MSCI The SpaceX IPO: All Systems Go, Ready For Blast Off? ETF Investing Is Seeing Explosive Growth, Own The House: MSCI Inc.

Cipher Digital ( CIFR ) has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Stingray Compute LLC , has priced a private placement of $810.0 million in senior secured notes due 2031. The notes carry a 6.000% coupon rate and were priced at 99.750% of their principal amount . The private offering is expected to close on June 15, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, and will be sold exclusively to qualified institutional buyers (under Rule 144A) and international investors (under Regulation S). The net proceeds from this offering will be used for several purposes: financing the remaining costs of the data center called the Stingray Facility, reimbursing Cipher for about $61.5 million in prior equity contributions made for capital expenditures related to the facility, and funding reserves for debt service. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Cipher Stingray LLC. The debt is backed by first-priority liens on substantially all operational assets of both the issuer and the guarantor, alongside all equity interests of the issuer. Cipher Digital will provide a customary corporate completion guarantee. If the $810 million note proceeds fall short, the parent company is obligated to fund the subsidiary directly to ensure the timely completion of the Stingray Facility. The offering is subject to market and other conditions, and there is no assurance about its completion terms.

SimonSkafar/iStock via Getty Images Interactive Brokers ( IBKR ) has had a great run YTD, up nearly 25%. The company is seeing impressive growth in client accounts, and this is leading to more commission dollars. Fervent equity markets have helped to fuel greater increases in client equity, and the flywheel continues to turn for this company, which is seeing great margin results in the last few years. With all of this optimism, it's appropriate to take a step back and examine the risk/reward given the outperformance. I believe the fundamentals are very positive for the company, but the risk/reward is not particularly attractive after the April & May rally. I begin coverage with a hold. A Highly Profitable Global Broker Interactive Brokers is a global broker. The company provides custody and service accounts for hedge funds, mutual funds, ETFs, registered investment advisors, proprietary trading groups, and individual investors. The company specializes in routing orders, executing orders, and processing trades across a wide variety of asset classes ranging from stocks to forex to bonds to options and many more to customers in nearly 200 countries around the world. The company also has a cryptocurrency offering through third-party service providers that execute, clear, and custody the cryptocurrencies. The company has a rich history since 1977 and is one of the most well-established software-based broker-dealers. The company makes the vast majority of its revenue from commissions. Commissions represented 81% of revenue. Other fees and services represented approximately 11% of sales. The balance is other income, which is about 8% of sales. Other fees and services are sales tied to things like market data, risk exposure feeds, FDIC sweep fees, and exchange-mandated payment for order flow programs. Other income is a non-core bucket. It's really about FX P&L, diversification strategy gains and losses, as well as P&L from other investments. It can fluctuate wildly from yea...
