Predicted for 9. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Forbes (03.09.2026) and AppleInsider both report that Apple will unveil its first foldable iPhone at the September event alongside the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max — a historic product debut. Supply chain analysts Ross Young and Jeff Pu confirm the device for this window. Risk: with first-generation hardware, last-minute delays are possible (cf. AirPower 2019); the device could be announced but not ship until 2027. Own estimate: 78%.

Verdict: Hit
Apple hat beim 'Surprise and Shine'-Event am 9. September 2026 in Apple Park tatsächlich sein erstes faltbares iPhone offiziell vorgestellt. Das Gerät heißt 'iPhone Duo' (kein 'iPhone Fold' oder 'Ultra'), hat ein Buchformat mit 5,5-Zoll-Außen- und 7,8-Zoll-Innendisplay und startet ab 1.999 USD. Es wurde gleichzeitig mit iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max, AirPods 5 und Apple Watch Ultra 4 angekündigt – und ist direkt verfügbar, nicht erst 2027.

Applied Materials has beaten the EPS consensus in all four of its last reported quarters, with an average earnings surprise of +3.5%. The company's own Q4 guidance is $3.82–$4.22 per share; consensus at $4.06 sits near the midpoint, reflecting classic conservative management framing. Revenue is estimated at $10.30B (+51% YoY) — TSMC and Samsung have not pulled back H2 2026 capex plans. No Polymarket market directly available; a 100% beat streak over 4 quarters with a positive guidance range implies 70–75% probability. Risk: supply chain delays or expanded US export controls on advanced chips could force a Q5 inventory build.

PLTR closed at $175.40 on November 4, 2026 (after-hours: $170.88, -2.58%; intraday high: $176.54; 52-week high: $212.94). Palantir clearly beat Q3-FY2026 EPS consensus: total revenue $2.313B, US Commercial revenue +148% YoY to $984M. The $185 threshold is +5.5% above the closing price or +8.3% above after-hours levels. Typical post-earnings 'sell the news' may weigh short-term, but the 52-week high of $212.94 confirms the level is reachable. NVIDIA earnings on November 18, 2026 could serve as a sector-wide catalyst. No direct Polymarket equivalent; own estimate: ~42%.

CBRS trades at $109.18 (October 30, 2026) — already 61% below its all-time high of $279.72. The final and largest lockup expiration is scheduled for November 10, 2026: approximately 19.4 million shares are unlocked (of three tranches of 19.4M each). Prior lockup tranches have consistently weighed on the stock. Insiders have sold ~$394.6M in shares since the May 2026 IPO — zero insider purchases. A Culper Research short-seller report has triggered multiple investigations. A close below $100 requires a ~8.4% decline — plausible given the expected supply pressure on expiration day.
