Anduril Cofounder Trae Stephens Is Now A Billionaire
Trae Stephens, also a partner at Founders Fund, ranked 19 on the 2025 Forbes Midas List. Last week, Anduril announced that it had raised a mega funding round led by Founders Fund, valuing the company at more than $30 billion, doubling its valuation in less than a year. The deal also minted a new defense tech billionaire: company chairman Trae Stephens. The Forbes Midas List alum, who is also a partner at Founders Fund — which led the round with a $1 billion investment, its largest ever — owns more than 3% of Anduril, according to Forbes' estimates, pushing his net worth beyond $1 billion. Stephens and Anduril declined to comment. Booming investor appetite for military startups has helped make Stephens the latest entrant to a group of billionaires who have built fortunes selling weapons systems to the government. His Anduril cofounder Palmer Luckey is worth $3.6 billion, Forbes estimates, while Alex Karp, the cofounder and CEO of military software firm Palantir is worth $11.9 billion. Since launching in 2017, Anduril has been at the forefront of a new generation of venture-backed startups making weapons, drones and software for the military — an ecosystem that is increasingly being embraced by the Trump administration. Last month, Anduril emerged as a frontrunner alongside SpaceX and Palantir to develop a weapons system for Trump's proposed $175 billion Golden Dome for America plan, which aims to combat missile threats. Stephens has taken an atypical route to becoming a Silicon Valley billionaire. After stints in multiple political offices and the intelligence community, he was an early employee at Palantir, which was cofounded by Peter Thiel. The famed investor convinced him to join Founders Fund in 2014 as a partner. There, he met Luckey during a retreat hosted by the investment firm, and the two developed the idea behind Anduril: applying a Silicon Valley strategy to a military-facing business. At Founders Fund, Stephens has also backed other defense tech companies, including Gecko Robotics (valued over $600 million), which makes hardware and software to protect defense infrastructure, and Varda Space Industries (valued more than $500 million), which tests drugs and manufactures things like fiber optic cables in space. He also led the series A funding round into supply chain logistics startup Flexport (most recently publicly valued at $8 billion). That 'check that I wrote was maybe the best one, aside from' Anduril, he previously told Forbes. Beyond Anduril and Founders Fund, Stephens, who ranked No. 19 on the 2025 Midas List, also is the cofounder of Sol, a startup making eyeglasses with Kindle-style lenses for "immersive reading' that last raised a seed funding round led by YC Combinator chief Garry Tan in 2023. Stephens, who previously worked on President Donald Trump's transition team during his first term, was also considered for a senior Defense Department role this year, but it didn't materialize (citing one source, Semafor previously reported that some administration officials were concerned about Stephens' investments; Stephens declined to comment at the time). At Anduril, which generated $1 billion in revenue last year, Stephens is aiming to scale up production of its suite of military products. The company, which sells drones, augmented reality helmets, sensors and software to connect them, raised $1.5 billion last year to build a factory in Ohio, called Arsenal-1, to rapidly scale up its production of aerial and maritime drones. And last month, Anduril announced it was partnering with Meta to make an AI-powered headset for the military. The fresh $2.5 billion in funding, a series G round, will also be used to acquire new companies, and expand operations in Australia and Europe, spokesperson Shannon Prior told Forbes last week.

Buy LRCX Stock At $90?
CANADA - 2025/02/10: In this photo illustration, the Lam Research Corporation logo is seen displayed ... More on a smartphone screen. (Photo Illustration by Thomas Fuller/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Lam Research (NASDAQ:LRCX) stock has experienced a notable increase this year, rising by 22% and significantly outperforming the S&P 500's modest gain of 2%. This remarkable performance can be attributed primarily to the company's solid quarterly results, fueled by strong foundry revenues and improving margins. Given this recent surge, the crucial question for investors is whether LRCX is still a compelling purchase. We believe it is. Despite its current price hovering around $90, we see little reason for worry regarding LRCX stock, particularly in light of its reasonable valuation. Our conclusion stems from a thorough analysis of Lam Research's operational performance in recent years, along with its current and historical financial health. We have assessed the company based on several core metrics: Growth, Profitability, Financial Stability, and Downturn Resilience. Our results show that Lam Research demonstrates exceptionally strong operating performance and financial stability, positioning it as an attractive investment option. However, for those investors who prefer lower volatility compared to individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative — it has outperformed the S&P 500 and delivered returns exceeding 91% since its inception. Separately, see – What's Better – Circle Stock Or Bitcoin? When considering what you pay per dollar of sales or profit, LRCX stock appears slightly overvalued in relation to the wider market. Lam Research's Revenues have demonstrated significant growth over the past few years. Lam Research's profit margins are significantly higher than those of most companies in the Trefis coverage universe. Lam Research's balance sheet appears very robust. LRCX stock has underperformed compared to the benchmark S&P 500 index during some recent downturns. Concerned about how a market crash could affect LRCX stock? Our dashboard How Low Can Lam Research Stock Go In A Market Crash? provides an in-depth analysis of how the stock has fared during and after previous market crashes. In conclusion, Lam Research's performance across the discussed metrics is summarized as follows: Overall, Lam Research has demonstrated excellent performance across the critical metrics we evaluated. We believe this strong operational and financial health is not entirely reflected in the current moderate valuation of the stock, making LRCX an appealing investment. This further reinforces our belief that Lam Research is a solid investment choice. Although LRCX stock appears promising, investing in a single stock can entail risks. Conversely, the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, comprising 30 stocks, has consistently outperformed the S&P 500 over the past 4-year period. Why is that the case? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks yielded better returns with lower risk in comparison to the benchmark index; providing a smoother ride, as shown in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
