Shared Lunch

As IPOs take over market headlines, in-house analysts Jacki Neumann and Susannah Batley break down SpaceX's Nasdaq debut and what's different about this wave of listings.  Hear how a $2T market cap renders conventional valuation metrics "almost not meaningful", and how index funds are now effectively required to buy SPCX. And with OpenAI and Anthropic expected to go public next, we examine how a series of mega-cap IPOs might be about to impact your portfolio. Learn how the AI arms race is prompting private companies to turn to the public for funding, pushing demand for data centers and chips beyond the limits of private equity.  Plus, is a potential merger between SpaceX and Tesla just wild speculation or a realistic vertical integration play?  For more places to follow Shared Lunch—check out http://linktr.ee/sharedlunchShared Lunch is brought to you by Sharesies Australia Limited (ABN 94 648 811 830; AFSL 529893) in Australia and Sharesies Limited (NZ) in New Zealand.

Recorded live from the grounds of Fieldays, hear from a panel featuring Gus Hewitt of Halter, Cheyne Gillooly of the NZ Young Farmers Association, and 2024 FMG Young Farmer of the Year George Dodson on the future of farming.  With the average farmer in their mid-60s, meet the new demographic of globally connected, cautious early adopters. The panel breaks down how young farmers are embracing innovation, bypassing the traditional land ownership process, and building fast equity directly through business performance and private equity funds.  With Halter’s solar-powered smart collars transforming herd management, we find out what it means to operate with fewer constraints, more data, and more flexibility. Our panelists explain the new possibilities to boost productivity per hectare even on marginal land, the growing role of solar energy on-farm, and how AI might soon become necessary to process the vast amounts of farm data being generated.
