Predicted for 23. July 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
The first IFT-13 launch attempt on 16 July 2026 was aborted after a post-ignition anomaly: four of Booster B13's 33 Raptor engines failed to complete ignition in sequence. SpaceX identified the root cause (pre-conditioner issue per Space.com and Spaceflight Now) and performed corrections over six days. The new launch window opens 23 July 2026. All downstream open IFT-13 predictions (Ship 30 water landing, booster drone landing, Starlink deployment) implicitly require a clean booster ignition, providing an internal probability floor. No Polymarket sub-market for this early milestone; historical SpaceX post-identified-abort success rate is >90%, minus residual new-anomaly risk yields own calibration of 78%.
Data basis for this prediction
- SpaceX IFT-13 Abort 16. Juli 2026: 4 Raptor-Zündausfälle post-ignition (Space.com, Spaceflight Now, 16.07.2026)
- SpaceX: Neues Startfenster IFT-13 ab 23. Juli 2026 (SpaceX Statement, 17.07.2026)

Verdict: Miss
[Vorzeitig entschieden] SpaceX Starship IFT-13 abortete am 23. Juli 2026 erneut beim zweiten Versuch – Booster 20 zündete die Raptor-Triebwerke nicht vollständig. SpaceX-Moderator Dan Huot bestätigte im Webcast: 'We did trigger a hold on the booster that aborted our liftoff as we were starting to light those Raptor engines.' (NASASpaceFlight.com, Space.com)

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.
