SpaceX successfully completes a Starship test flight by 31 August 2026: booster returns under control, upper stage survives re-entry (confirmed by SpaceX webcast)

Partial Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 23. July 2026 · Predicted for 31. August 2026 · Based on: Speculative

Probability

58%

The IFT-13 launch attempt on 23 July 2026 was aborted at T-0:00:00 after 4 of 33 Raptor engines on Booster B20 failed to ignite — a similar issue to the abort on 16 July. SpaceX must diagnose the engine anomaly and may need to replace engines. Historically, SpaceX has re-launched within 2–5 weeks of comparable aborts (2024–2025), making an August launch date plausible. Existing IFT-13 predictions (specifically for 23 July) are already void due to the abort. No Polymarket target for reschedule date.

Verdict: Partial Hit

IFT-13 startete erfolgreich am 24. Juli 2026 (innerhalb der Frist). Die Oberstufe überlebte den Wiedereintritt und erzielte laut SpaceX den 'softest splashdown ever' (bestätigt per Webcast). Jedoch schlug die Booster-Landung fehl: Nur 5–10 von 13 vorgesehenen Raptor-Triebwerken zündeten beim Landemanöver, Booster 20 schlug unkontrolliert im Golf von Mexiko auf und wurde zerstört – kein 'kontrollierter Rückkehr'. Für August 2026 (Flight 14) plante SpaceX ursprünglich einen Tower-Catch der Oberstufe, Musk ruderte am 20. August aber zurück ('in a few months'). Flight 14 startete nicht mehr vor dem 31. August.

Applied Materials Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAT) beats Q4 FY2026 EPS consensus of $4.06 per share — earnings report November 12, 2026 after market close (confirmed by Applied Materials Investor Relations or Bloomberg by November 13, 2026, 10:00 AM ET)

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.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR) closes above $185.00 per share on at least one trading day in November 2026 — confirmed by Nasdaq or Bloomberg by December 1, 2026

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%.

Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ: CBRS) closes below $100.00 per share on November 10, 2026 (confirmed by Nasdaq or Bloomberg by November 11, 2026)

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.
