SpaceX Starship IFT-13 (23 July 2026): All 33 Raptor engines of Booster B13 ignite fully — no repeat of the post-ignition anomaly of 16 July (confirmed by SpaceX webcast)

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 22. July 2026 · Predicted for 23. July 2026 · Based on: Ongoing Event
Probability
78%

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)
  • IFT-11 und IFT-12: Vollzündungs-Erfolge als historische Referenz (SpaceX-Webcast-Protokolle 2025/26)
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 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.
