·
Based on: Speculative
SpaceX launched Starship Flight 13 (Booster 20, Ship 40) on July 24, 2026 (window: 6:45 PM EDT / 22:45 UTC). Primary mission objective: first deployment of 20 Starlink V3 production satellites designed for direct-to-cell smartphone service. Two prior attempts scrubbed: July 16 (four engine failures) and July 23 (weather). SpaceX expressed high confidence after post-abort engine repairs. Satellite deployment requires overall flight success (separation, upper-stage ignition). Note: the existing open prediction 'Booster returns, Ship survives reentry' covers a separate mission dimension; this prediction targets the primary payload objective.

- Spaceflight Now: 'Live coverage: SpaceX ready for 2nd attempt to launch Starship Flight 13 following post-abort engine work' (23. Juli 2026)

Verdict: Miss
[Vorzeitig entschieden] Starship IFT-13 startete NICHT am 24. Juli 2026: SpaceX sagte den Versuch wegen Tropensturm Bertha ab (KeepTrack X Report 24 Jul 2026; Space.com live updates). Die im Prädikat geforderte Startbedingung '24. Juli' ist definitiv gescheitert; eine bestätigte Satellitenauslieferung bis Ende 25. Juli ist nicht mehr möglich.

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.
