Investors are increasingly looking to Asia’s technology supply chain as a major beneficiary of a new wave of expected stock offerings by SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic, betting that fresh capital raised in the US will fuel another round of artificial intelligence-related spending.
The expected fundraising by the three companies could support additional investment in computing infrastructure, data centers, and advanced hardware, creating opportunities for Asian firms that produce server components, specialised materials, cooling systems, power equipment, and semiconductor-related technologies.
Asian hardware companies have already been among the biggest winners of the global data-center boom. The surge in AI infrastructure spending has helped lift major chipmakers, including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Samsung Electronics, and SK Hynix, to record valuations. However, after sharp gains in leading semiconductor stocks, some investors are now searching for the next group of AI beneficiaries at more attractive valuations.
Ken Wong, an Asian equity portfolio specialist at Eastspring Investments Hong Kong, said AI-related IPOs could further support capital expenditure at a time when Asian chip stocks appear stretched. He noted that investors are increasingly focusing on electronic component makers rather than only the major semiconductor names.
The battle for AI leadership has already pushed major technology companies, including Meta Platforms and Amazon, to spend heavily on computing networks. The potential listings of SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic could add around $70bn in AI-related spending, on top of more than $750bn already committed by the largest hyperscalers, according to market estimates cited by Bloomberg.
The investment opportunity is also expanding beyond traditional chipmakers. Companies involved in advanced packaging, substrates, testing, optical connectivity, server assembly, power systems, and cooling technologies are attracting greater attention.
South Korea’s Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Japan’s Ibiden have been among the strong performers in Asian markets this year, supported by demand for electronic components used in servers and semiconductor production.
Some investors also see opportunities in Taiwanese firms such as Hon Hai Precision Industry and Quanta Computer, which assemble servers, as well as chip designer MediaTek. Others are focusing on “physical AI” applications, including robotics and autonomous vehicles, which could benefit suppliers such as LG Electronics.
Power supply is another area drawing investor interest, as the expansion of data centers increases demand for electricity infrastructure. Companies linked to solar power, nuclear energy, transformers, fuel cells, cables, gas turbines, and other power equipment are expected to benefit as data-center capacity continues to grow.
However, some fund managers warn that the next phase of the AI rally may carry greater risks. If AI demand fails to justify the scale of spending, companies could reduce capital expenditure, leaving markets exposed to excess infrastructure and sharp valuation declines.
Still, many investors view the expected fundraising by SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic as a positive signal for the AI supply chain. Asian suppliers, particularly those tied to servers, components, power, and cooling, are expected to remain key beneficiaries of the next stage of AI infrastructure investment.
