IPO Outlook

What This Means for Secondary Market Holders
The 2x valuation jump in 12 months represents significant appreciation for early secondary buyers. Key considerations:
- New price floor: $61B resets the mark for all secondary transactions
- No near-term IPO: Creates a window for secondary market activity at the new valuation
- Defense spending tailwinds: Bipartisan support for defense modernization continues to drive growth
- Revenue trajectory: Doubling revenue annually with expanding margins
