Retail investors were steadfast for nearly eight weeks after ******* e Exploration Technologies Corp (NASDAQ:SPCX) went public. Despite a 67% post-IPO rise, a sharp return to earth, and a stock that spent weeks trading below its debut price, mom-and-pop traders continued to buy. On August 7, that streak was finally broken.
According to data quoted by Reuters, individual investors sold a net $4.5 million in ******* e Exploration Technologies Corp (NASDAQ:SPCX) shares on August 7, marking the first day of net negative retail flows since the company's stock market debut on June 12. The timing is what makes the transition interesting. Just two days earlier, on August 5, ******* eX shares fell 13.6% following the company's first quarterly financial report as a publicly traded company, and retail investors responded by buying heavily, marking the fourth-largest single day of net retail purchases since the IPO. That earnings announcement was a mixed bag: ******* eX highlighted faster-than-expected returns from its AI infrastructure spending, though investors were concerned about how long the company's thriving Starlink satellite-internet operation would be able to fund those costly AI ambitions.
While Wall Street expressed concern about Starlink's financial flows supporting long-term AI objectives, Morgan Stanley ******* yst Adam Jonas reiterated an Overweight rating and a $300 price target on ******* e Exploration Technologies Corp (NASDAQ:SPCX). Jonas claimed that public markets undervalue ******* eX's broader AI ecosystem, citing early synergies between Grok and the Cursor as evidence of a combined real-time data, compute, and intelligence platform.
So the trend went as follows: stock plummets on earnings-day AI expenditure fears, retail buys the dip heavily, and then sells when the stock recovers to its IPO price. Sam North, an eToro market ******* yst, described the sequencing as telling. He observed that a shift from persistent buying to selling is rarely due to a single event, but rather to a combination of profit-taking, position fatigue, and investors reevaluating risk-reward. He said that the sale on August 7 appeared to be retail taking advantage of a share price rebound to take some money off the table, instead of a panicked withdrawal.
None of this indicates that retailers have abandoned ******* e Exploration Technologies Corp (NASDAQ:SPCX). The stock was still up around 2.4% in premarket trading on August 10 following the selling milestone, and one day of moderately negative flows after nearly two months of feverish buying is hardly a disaster. That said, for a company whose short public life has been defined almost completely by retail conviction outlasting institutional skepticism, the first break in that conviction, no matter how little, is worth monitoring.

Our **** ysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here.
Management is pivoting the company from a lunar delivery specialist to a 'next-generation **** e prime' capable of building, connecting, and operating integrated **** e infrastructure.
Revenue growth of over 4x year-over-year was primarily driven by execution across satellite manufacturing, CLPS missions, and the Near **** e Network Services (NSNS) programs.
Strategic acquisitions of Lanteris, KinetX, and Goonhilly Earth Station have expanded the addressable market from $20 billion to over $150 billion by adding satellite production, deep **** e navigation, and ground segment capabilities.
The company is intentionally investing in inventory and production capacity ahead of contract awards to meet increasing customer demands for faster delivery and higher volume.

Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ: LUNR) published its second-quarter results after the market closed yesterday, and its stock is seeing strong gains in Friday's trading. The company's share price was up 10.5%in the daily session as of 12:30 p.m. ET.
Intuitive Machines' Q2 sales and earnings actually came in below Wall Street's expectations, but there was some good news for investors. In addition to reaffirming its full-year sales forecast, the company provided new details about its lunar satellite constellation plans.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
In the second quarter, Intuitive Machines recorded a net loss of $0.29 per share and revenue of roughly $206.2 million. The average Wall Street **** yst estimate had only targeted a per-share loss of $0.10 in the quarter, and the average forecast called for sales in the period to be roughly $15 million higher. Despite the sales and earnings misses, other updates from the company has been enough to spur big gains for the stock today.
While the company's Q2 sales came in below expectations, Intuitive Machines still expects to post revenue between $900 million and $1 billion this year. The company also expects to record positive non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA).

The founder of Baron Capital told investors that ***** eX (SPCX) could be worth $40 trillion in the next 10 to 15 years.
For context, that number is close to the value of every public company in the United States combined today.
Baron is not a stranger to calls like this. He made a similar bet on Tesla years before most investors would touch it, and it paid off in a big way.
Now he is pointing that same conviction at Elon Musk's rocket and satellite company, and he has put real money behind the forecast.
For investors watching SPCX fluctuate since its June debut, the question is simple. Is this a serious long-term call, or a number so large it stops meaning anything?

Elon Musk's ******* eX (NASDAQ:SPCX) closed its $60 billion all-stock purchase of Cursor on Friday, sealing a deal it struck just weeks after pulling off the biggest IPO in history.
Cursor announced the close on X and said in a blog post that the acquisition gives it access to what it called the world's largest GPU fleet, pointing to this week's Grok 4.6 release as an early sign of what the combination can produce.
So why would a rocket and satellite company pay $60 billion for a coding tool?
According to ******* ysts, Cursor hands Musk something particularly valuable: a huge base of professional developers, established enterprise distribution and a stream of developer data that may make his AI models better.

Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ:RKLB) shares continued to decline on Tuesday after falling roughly 7% in extended trading Monday. The decline came despite second-quarter revenue climbing 62% to a record $234 million and exceeding Wall Street expectations.
The market focused on what changed beyond the headline result. Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ:RKLB) previously targeted Neutron's inaugural flight for the fourth quarter of 2026. Management's current disclosed target is to deliver the medium-lift rocket to the launch pad during the quarter, while CEO Peter Beck acknowledged that the window for a launch before year-end was narrowing.
The company also forecast a third-quarter GAAP gross margin of 29% to 31%, well below the 37.6% ****** yst estimate compiled by LSEG. The revenue growth is genuine, but the weaker margin outlook and less specific launch target exposed how much of Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ:RKLB)'s longer-term earnings story still depends on Neutron.
The bull case is that Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ:RKLB) no longer depends entirely on launch revenue to build a meaningful ****** e business.
Space Systems generated $189.5 million during the second quarter, representing 81% of company revenue and increasing 38.6% sequentially. The growth came primarily from satellite manufacturing, along with an initial contribution from the recently acquired Mynaric business.

Tropical Storm Cristobal has formed in the Atlantic Ocean, but not in the place you might have expected if you've been watching tropical storm activity closely.
Cristobal has formed from an area of disturbed weather about 1,050 miles east-northeast of Bermuda, the National Hurricane Center said just before 11 a.m. on Aug. 12, and not from the wave far to the south. The center plans to begin advisories at 11 a.m.
Hurricane season in the Atlantic is just hitting its peak period, and the hurricane center is watching at least two other potential areas of development.
One of those is an area of disturbed weather moving toward the Caribbean in the Atlantic, and many were expecting it to be Cristobal, but the tiny storm far to the southwest of the Azores beat that system to the third spot on the 2026 list of hurricane names. The westward-moving system is still far to the west, about 900 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, and is expected to become a tropical depression within 48 hours. The next name up on the center's 2026 name rotation for the Atlantic is Dolly.
Satellite data shows Cristobal is producing tropical storm-force winds to its southeast, but it's expected to be short-lived, given its location in the Atlantic.

Nvidia (NVDA) just extended its grip on artificial intelligence (AI) computing with plans to go where no chipmaker has gone before: orbit.

The plan is not a one-off. **** eX has outlined a long-term vision that could eventually scale to as many 1 million AI satellites. Together, these satellites would work as one giant data center circling the Earth.
Even more than the spectacle, what stands out for Nvidia is the commitment behind this partnership. **** eX CEO Elon Musk said bluntly that the company has agreed to exclusively use Nvidia GPUs because "the Vera Rubin architecture is the best architecture." That is about as strong an endorsement as it gets, especially because it comes from the one customer with every reason to build his own chips or look for alternatives.

KYIV, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Russia is rolling out its own version of the Starlink satellite internet system faster than expected and plans ‌to have nearly 300 satellites in orbit by 2027, according to ‌a Ukrainian intelligence official.
SpaceX's Starlink network, which operates in Ukraine but not Russia, has given Kyiv a major advantage in drone operations and battlefield communications.
Russian forces had been using grey-market Starlink terminals in Ukraine until Kyiv successfully lobbied ***** eX to disable them earlier this year, one of several factors that shifted battlefield momentum in Ukraine's ‌favour.
In an interview with Ukrainian ⁠media outlet RBC-Ukraine, Major General Vadym Skibitskyi said Russia currently has 16 satellites in its Rassvet system.
"They have already begun ⁠launching it much faster than originally planned," said Skibitskyi, who is the deputy head of Ukraine's GUR military intelligence service.

Commercial **** e and defense equities continue to draw investor attention, but CNBC's Mad Money host Jim Cramer took a cautious stance on higher-risk plays in the sector on August 5. When asked about Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ:RKLB), Cramer dismissed the stock as speculative while steering investors toward Voyager Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:VOYG):
Pure spec, that's the problem. It's a pure spec. I like that Voyager. We had that fella on last night, Voyager… I like the Voyager.
Cramer's preference for Voyager Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:VOYG) follows its second-quarter earnings report, which he reviewed during the August 4 episode after interviewing management. Cramer highlighted the expanding government defense contracts, sequential revenue acceleration, and a growing backlog and said:
When you look at this phenomenal run in Voyager Technologies, the **** e and defense company that makes key components for satellites, missiles, and **** ecraft, it's been racking up government contracts left and right. Last night, Voyager reported a very strong quarter with revenue up 51% just versus the previous 3 months, a narrower-than-expected loss, and the backlog jumping 22% sequentially. That's versus last quarter, not last year. Management said that demand is building faster than they can convert it into revenue. High-quality problem. They also raised their full-year revenue forecast pretty substantially. Some of that's thanks to the recent acquisition of Astrobotic. That's a **** e robotics play... The stock jumped 14% yesterday even before the quarter and then rallied another 19.6% today in response to these results, although it's still down roughly 55% from its post-IPO highs last summer. So maybe you haven't missed as much as you might think.
It is worth noting that data tracked by Insider Monkey shows shifting hedge fund sentiment between the two **** e companies entering 2026. Elite hedge fund holders in Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ:RKLB) declined from 45 in the fourth quarter of 2025 to 43 in the first quarter of 2026. On the other hand, hedge fund ownership in Voyager Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:VOYG) expanded during the same period, rising from 35 holders in Q4 2025 to 37 in Q1 2026.

After spending nearly $16 billion on artificial intelligence infrastructure in the second quarter, Elon Musk used ****** eX's first earnings call as a public company on Tuesday to explain why he believes ****** eX is uniquely positioned to dominate the AI compute race: rocket scientists.
Defending the company's aggressive investment in AI, Musk argued that the engineering expertise required to design reusable rockets and satellites translates directly to building AI data centers, comparing the company's advantage in the market to "the New York Yankees going in and playing a Little League team."
Data centers are a "trivial problem" compared to what ****** eX's rocket engineers work on every day, Musk said.
"We're taking a small amount of the expertise that we use for rockets and satellites, and applying that to scaling terrestrial data centers," he said, arguing that even a fraction of ****** eX's aerospace engineering experience produces "an amazing outcome" when applied to AI infrastructure.
Musk made the boast without naming any of his "little league" rivals. ****** eX is a relative newcomer to the data center business, an industry long dominated by the giant cloud services providers such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet-owned Google. All three of those business reported record growth in their cloud divisions for their most recent earnings reports. A growing crop of "neocloud" startups are also racing to build the data centers and computing capacity needed to power artificial intelligence.

Bridgit Mendler, best known for lighting up Disney Channel, stepped away from acting to pursue academia and entrepreneurship. Mendler's surprising pivot led her to MIT and Harvard, where she earned her master's degree and Ph.D. candidate at the MIT Media Lab before receiving her JD at Harvard Law School, and now she's trailblazing as CEO of a satellite ground-station company she took the helm of, a startup focused on building ground stations that connect to satellites in ***** e, as reported by KTLA, setting a high bar for reinvention.

A sanctioned tanker loaded with crude is leaving a growing trail of oil in protected waters off the coast of Oman, according to newly reviewed satellite images, as experts warn the stranded vessel could break apart during the region's rough monsoon season.
Satellite images reviewed by The ****** ociated Press show an oil sheen covering roughly 20 square kilometers, or about 8 square miles, around Dhofar's Qibliyah Island, part of Oman's protected Hallaniyat Islands. Dark patches of crude have also reached the shoreline. Experts say the leak has worsened in recent days, fueling fears that rough weather could trigger a much larger spill.
"The last few days, the imagery indicates an increase in oil coming out, as the size of the sheen is growing," Wim Zwijnenburg, an environmental expert with the Dutch peace organization PAX, told the AP.

ESPN formally acquired NFL Network on April 1, and starting July 30 the network is available directly to ESPN subscribers.
On Thursday, ESPN announced that NFL Network programming is now available to all ESPN subscribers with access to the Unlimited tier of the ESPN app. That now includes most major cable, satellite, and virtual pay-TV distributors after YouTube TV subscribers gained access to Unlimited earlier this week. It also means that anyone who purchases ESPN Unlimited directly or in one of Disney's bundled streaming offerings can now access NFL Network content at no additional charge.
The inclusion of NFL Network within ESPN Unlimited means subscribers will now be able to access NFL Network's seven exclusive regular-season games, five of which are part of the league's International Series with the other two being a doubleheader in Week 16, directly within the ESPN app. NFL Network will also air 19 preseason games next month, which will also be available along with the channel's usual daily live programming like Good Morning Football and The Insiders.
Thursday's launch marks the final major step in what has been an exceedingly quick merging of operations for ESPN and NFL Network. After the acquisition was announced last summer, several reports indicated the formal combination would take a minimum of one year, but possibly two years, to receive the requisite regulatory approvals. Instead, the deal was approved by federal regulators in February, merely six months after it was announced. By April, NFL Network was under ESPN control. And now, NFL Network has been fully integrated into ESPN's platforms.
Whatever the circumstances behind the fast-tracked approval were, ESPN has to be thrilled with the timeline. NFL Network is now fully under its purview and available to ESPN subscribers in the same season ESPN is set to air its first-ever Super Bowl broadcast.

Katie Nolan seems about as excited to call Boomer Esiason a colleague as Frank Isola was when Kenny Beecham joined SiriusXM Radio earlier this year.
Last week, Audacy announced a new partnership to make WFAN and 41 other local radio stations available on SiriusXM, which means Esiason's morning show with co-host Gregg Giannotti will soon be heard on satellite radio in addition to their usual platforms. Esiason and Giannotti will not be broadcasting their show from SiriusXM, and they won't be SiriusXM employees, but the new partnership between Audacy and SiriusXM is enough for Katie Nolan to kinda sorta call them colleagues. For Nolan and her producer Isabella Joson, that's a bad thing.
"You and your arch-nemesis are going to be co-workers," Nolan told Joson. "Of course we're referring to Boomer Esason. Isabella, not a huge fan."
Nolan hosts Casuals on Mad Dog Sports Radio as a lead-in to The Stephen A. Smith Show. And to welcome Esiason to SiriusXM, Nolan played back some of the former NFL MVP's more polarizing takes, pretending HR wanted to make sure Joson would be able to maintain a safe workplace environment with their new colleague.
Nolan began with Esiason calling Chinese-American freestyle skier Eileen Gu "insufferable" after watching her at the Olympics earlier this year. From there, they played Esiason saying "pipe down" and "respect the flag" in response to Olympic athletes speaking out against ICE and the Trump administration. Nolan also went back to late last year, where Esiason reacted to Yankees radio voice Dave Sims cutting a promo for Dude Wipes by suggesting a Vagisil endorsement for Suzyn Waldman.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — David Cifaldi and his two hiking companions were crossing Montana's ominous Froze-to-Death Plateau and approaching the top of the state's highest peak when their adventure took a bizarre and dangerous turn: Cifaldi slipped and impaled himself on his trekking pole as he fell.
The 44-inch (112-centimeter) steel-tipped pole passed through the flesh beneath Cifaldi's left arm, missing any vital organs, and protruded from his back. After conferring with his friends — and considering the high cost of a helicopter rescue — Cifaldi knew who would save him: himself.
"I was like, 'We've got to get off this mountain.' And they're both like, 'I don't know about that,'" Cifaldi said of his friends' initial reaction. "I'm pretty confident this is outside my chest wall. 'Tis but a flesh wound."
The 32-year-old nurse, who works in wound care at a hospital in Billings, Montana, did a self-assessment. He was alert. There was little pain or blood. And the pole wasn't moving. The group used a satellite-based communication device, a Garmin inReach, to contact local authorities and inform them of their plan to self-rescue.
Then they started hiking out. They carefully descended from the plateau along an unmarked route, navigating through boulders and snowfields before bushwhacking their way to an established trail.

A copy of the letter is available to download here. The second quarter of 2026 was driven by a sharp rally in AI-related stocks, although gains were concentrated in highly cyclical semiconductor, memory and optical companies. The S&P 500 gained 15.2%, while the semiconductor index surged 87.8%. Unlike earlier AI rallies led by megacaps and strong earnings growth, some smaller technology stocks rose 200% to 300%, making the advance more fragile. Software and services stocks declined as investors questioned the impact of AI disruption. Oil prices also rose during the Iran conflict before retreating, briefly increasing inflation and interest-rate concerns. Despite the volatility, economic data and corporate earnings remained strong. S&P 500 earnings are projected to rise 25% in 2026 and 15% in 2027, with the market trading near 20x earnings. The Fund continues to focus on financially strong companies with durable earnings growth that can perform across different economic conditions.
