| The Brief |
| SpaceX priced Thursday night at $135. It opened Friday at $150 and closed at $160.95, a 19% first-day gain. That put the valuation at $2.1 trillion, the highest market cap of any company at IPO in history. Three businesses sit inside the ticker: Falcon 9 launches, which own roughly 90% of the global commercial launch market; Starlink, the satellite internet network and the only currently profitable division; and xAI, the Musk AI company that merged into SpaceX before the listing. Analysts project xAI accounts for 70% of business value by 2030. Meanwhile, Oracle posted record Q4 results. Revenue hit $19.2 billion, up 21%, and EPS rose 24%. Both beat estimates. The stock still fell 10% after management laid out a heavy capital spending roadmap. Adobe followed Thursday. It beat on revenue, raised guidance, and the CFO announced a departure the same night. Shares fell 8% Friday. May CPI printed at 4.2% year-over-year, highest in months, driven by energy. Core inflation held at 2.9%. The Fed meets this week. It is the first FOMC under new Chair Kevin Warsh, and the press conference matters more than the decision. |

| Stock of the Week |
| SpaceX (SPCX) |
| SpaceX became the most valuable company ever to go public on Friday. SPCX closed its first day at $160.95 on a $135 IPO price, 19% higher in a single session. At $2.1 trillion, the market is paying for three things at once: the Falcon 9 launch monopoly with 90% global commercial market share, Starlink's satellite internet growth, and xAI. That last piece is the most speculative and potentially the most valuable. SpaceX is not cheap. It is also not a normal company. The discipline is sizing. You don't have to own the whole thing to get exposure to the story. |
