IPOs have had juicy first-day gains this year, but it doesn’t take long for the pullback to start. And that is particularly true for mega IPOs.

Such is life on Wall Street at the dawn of the artificial-intelligence build-out. Tech companies are hungry for cash to invest in data centers, and investors are forking it over through all possible means, in all parts of the globe—a flurry of fundraising that has mostly supported markets by powering technological advances, even as it tests their ability to absorb it all. Alphabet’s announcement that it would raise $85 billion of equity was just the latest example.

Nvidia's entry into the AI PC market with its RTX Spark superchip last week is less a breakthrough for regular users than a high-stakes bet that a largely unproven concept can find wider appeal, ‌analysts said.

Nvidia, though, appears to be selling a different version of the AI PC than what exists today, one aimed more at developers and content creators who have long favored Apple's high-end MacBook Pros.
