Predicted for 31. July 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
Polymarket gives a 70% probability that Nvidia defends its top market cap position through end of July 2026 (as of July 22, 2026). Apple is priced at 29% for the #1 spot. Nvidia's market cap stands at approx. $4.97T; Apple briefly overtook it on July 17 at ~$4.88T but has since fallen behind. Nvidia benefits from sustained AI infrastructure demand (AMD competition priced in), while Apple faces iPhone pricing pressures and China risks. This is a separate prediction from the already-open December 31, 2026 forecast.

Verdict: Miss
Die Vorhersage traf nicht ein. Apple überholte Nvidia am 27. Juli 2026 dauerhaft und beendete den Tag als wertvollstes Unternehmen der Welt (~4,94–5,0 Bio. USD vs. Nvidia ~4,75–4,83 Bio. USD). Am 28. Juli 2026 überschritt Apple erstmals die 5-Billionen-USD-Marke. Damit war Apple – nicht Nvidia – zum Handelsschluss am 31. Juli 2026 die wertvollste börsennotierte Gesellschaft. Ausschlaggebend: Kursanstieg der Apple-Aktie (+22 % YTD 2026) durch Investorenpräferenz für Unternehmen mit zurückhaltendem KI-Capex, kombiniert mit relativer Schwäche bei Nvidia.

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.
