Apollo Anchors GPU Lease Financing for SpaceX's Nvidia-Powered Compute Buildout
APO is trading near its 52-week low of $99.56 (14% above the low).
Summary
Apollo is anchoring a lease financing package for SpaceX's terrestrial compute buildout, with Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs Asset Management and KKR also participating, per Reuters. SpaceX has reached a $40 billion financing agreement with an Apollo-managed entity. The lease is structured to deliver Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin chips to SpaceX. For Apollo, this is another large-scale private credit/asset-backed deployment into AI infrastructure, a theme it has been scaling across its $1 trillion-plus AUM platform. The deal reinforces Apollo's role as a go-to financier for hyperscale compute buildouts. SpaceX is private, so the direct equity read-through sits with Apollo and the other anchor lenders rather than a listed SpaceX ticker.
At the time of this announcement, APO was trading at $113.10 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $66.6B. The 52-week trading range was $99.56 to $153.29.
