In this article SPCX SATS ASTS Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 2:19 02:19 How the options market is gearing up for the SpaceX IPO Fast Money Today is the big day. If you want clues for what might happen, look to the proxy trades that have been the rage among options traders. Options volumes are booming in stocks with ties to SpaceX ahead of Friday's historic debut of the newest public entity run by the world's richest man. While Wall Street debates whether the $1.75 trillion IPO is an egregiously overpriced hype-machine or the future of mankind, traders are piling into calls on anything that might catch a bid by association. Shares of EchoStar , the Colorado-based networking business that owns an estimated 3% of SpaceX stock, surged 11% Thursday and options volume was more than eleven times the 30-day average in 'SATS', according to data from Cboe's LiveVol. AST Spacemobile , whose satellites are expected to launch on a SpaceX rocket next week, jumped 12% alongside almost $140 million in options trading. Even Virgin Galactic Holdings , a stock that lost 99% from high to low, saw options trading ignite, with almost 3.5 times more calls bought than puts. "There's a ton of short-dated call buying in these names as a way to get long SpaceX," Danny Kirsch, head of options trading at Piper Sandler, said by phone. "I have no doubt part of it is retail demand but there is definitely institutional demand for SATS." EchoStar shares were higher by another 5% in early trading Friday. AST SpaceMobile was also trading higher. Concurrent demand for exchange-traded-funds that target the space category is also creating a bottleneck of supply that's helping keep prices for the proxy plays elevated, according to Cory Johnson, chief market strategist of San Francisco-based Epistrophy Capital Research. ETFs like Procure's 'UFO' and Defiance's 'JEDI' , up 119% and 35% the past year, respectively, both own shares of ASTS. "People who can't buy SpaceX or did...

Asset managers who were eager to launch leveraged exchange-traded funds tied to SpaceX ( SPCX ) at its market debut were told to hold off until Monday, according to a media report on Friday. Several asset managers seeking Securities and Exchange Commission approval to start the ETFs told Reuters planned to roll out the ETFs on the same day as the world's largest IPO. Rather, exchanges informed them on Wednesday that they would have to hold off until the first trading day after the IPO, four people told Reuters. The exchanges said the SEC had concerns that combining the ETF debuts with leveraged products could complicate the SpaceX ( SPCX ) IPO, three sources said. Some of the biggest firms in leveraged products, including GraniteShares, ProShares, Direxion, and Defiance, plan to introduce SpaceX 2x leveraged long ETFs as soon as they're allowed to, according to the firms' filings and marketing. Asset managers had hoped that by launching their leveraged ETFs alongside the stock's IPO they could gain an edge in what could be a multibillion-dollar competition for assets in the first week of trading, the article said. "There is a lot at stake; these products could end up holding a total of more than $10B" in assets," Matt Markiewicz, head of product and capital markets at Tradr ETFs, which had hoped to launch such an ETF on Friday, told Reuters.

hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Investment Thesis DoorDash, Inc. ( DASH ) seems to be growing like a smaller company despite being a large-cap company, making its valuation attractive as multiples appear to currently underestimate its potential. Despite closing and integrating an international acquisition, DoorDash was able to grow marketplace GOV by 37% and adjusted EBITDA by 28% YoY in Q1. Even with this strong performance, the stock has declined nearly 50% from its 52-week high, leaving opportunity for upside as the company continues executing. Author The legacy business looks stronger than what revenue indicates, where, when excluding Deliveroo, GOV still increased by 24%, and revenue increased by 21% YoY. The Deliveroo acquisition looks like a disciplined acquisition, with the company cutting out unprofitable markets to improve overall operations. As integration continues, it is also likely that multiple expansion won't be required to see further upside as margins improve. I am rating the stock a buy with a 12-month price target of $187.68, as the current risk/reward looks favorable. Core Growth In Q1, DoorDash missed revenue estimates of $4.15 billion by ~3%; however, this appears to overlook the rest of the company's performance. Without Deliveroo, the remaining business grew 21% YoY and 24% on marketplace GOV, with total orders hitting 933 million, up 27% YoY. Author Record DashPass membership signups, grocery options, and high restaurant density should drive future growth. This is why Q1 figures could mislead some investors with a top-line miss, despite strong underlying growth and an adjusted EBITDA trajectory. Deliveroo DoorDash completed the acquisition of Deliveroo for £2.9 billion in October 2025, adding a large-scale European delivery platform to the company's portfolio. Besides scaling up, this acquisition also includes specific market pruning by exiting markets such as Qatar, Singapore, Japan, and Uzbekistan. The combination of its global...

Dassault Systèmes ( DASTY ) shares fell as much as 3.5% on Friday amid ongoing investor concerns that emerging AI tools, including a new offering unveiled this week by Anthropic, could challenge traditional engineering design software. The stock move contrasts with other European software and IT stocks, including SAP ( SAP ), Capgemini ( CAPMF ), and Amadeus ( AMADF ), which are paring some of their losses from earlier this week. Earlier this week, Anthropic released a 14-second video showing how its newest AI model, named Fable 5, was able to design a 3D-printable model in a browser-based CAD editor. Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) said the CAD editor too was built by the Fable 5 model. Separately, Prometheus, an AI startup led by Jeff Bezos, raised $12B from investors; the startup is focused on developing AI models and tools that would help engineer and manufacture physical products for industries like computing and aerospace.

In just a week, Ciena ( CIEN ) has tumbled almost 30%, making it the biggest loser in the index after a 168% upswing on the year before the 6/2 close. Enphase Energy ( ENPH ), AST SpaceMobile ( ASTS ), MP Materials ( MP ), Guidewire Software ( GWRE ), SailPoint ( SAIL ), QuantumScape ( QS ), Aurora Innovation ( AUR ), and Lumentum ( LITE ) are the other eight names that have fallen at least 20% over the past week. On average, the 25 stocks below rallied 35.5% on the year before last week's peak, but they're all down at least 15% since. For nine companies, the losses over the past week add to an already rough 2026. For three of those companies, GWRE, SAIL, and QS, the losses over the past week are even worse than the YTD losses leading up to the 6/2 Russell 1,000 peak.

Joe Morris/iStock Editorial via Getty Images So far, Verizon ( VZ ) has turned out to be a great diversification for me. Quite frankly, the stock has strongly outperformed the benchmark since my latest coverage . VZ has surged 17% versus the S&P 500 at 6%. VZ: The Stock Surged By 17% And Outperformed The Benchmark Since My Last Piece (Seeking Alpha) Now, six months later, how do I feel about Verizon? Fairly positive. To be honest, I believe there are reasons why the market may remain volatile for the remainder of the year. And the defensive approach could come in really handy, in my opinion. So, I still find Verizon a good candidate for long-term investors seeking to reduce exposure to high-growth, high-beta names. On top of this, VZ continues to deliver top-line growth. And with significant market share in the telecommunication niche, I am still in the camp that business growth could continue further. I also like that it's a dividend-paying stock. I have decided to maintain my rating at a Buy here. Here's why. Slow But Steady Wins the Race? It's a defensive name with predictable business performance. Analysts think it's likely to deliver top and bottom-line growth further. And I don't see why not. Such stability is something that raises confidence in management. And that's why I also find it a great diversification. It truly offsets the high-risk names, in my opinion. VZ: Historical Earnings (Seeking Alpha) But, to be fair, its historical earnings performance lacks consistency. While the growth remains there, it's not abnormal to underdeliver for Verizon. That slightly offsets the bullish case here. But I still don't see any structural concerns. Verizon delivered earnings about a month ago. Quite frankly, I don't think it was a bad one. Quite the opposite; some of the things surprised me and strengthened my bull case here. What I mean by this is that I was pleasantly surprised by Verizon's positive postpaid phone net additions this quarter . As this is something th...

US futures climbed ahead of the open on Friday, propelled by optimism about pending trading in SpaceX, which made history with the biggest-ever IPO, and the potential for an interim peace deal in the Iran conflict. S&P 500 futures climbed 0.6% as of 7:28 a.m. in New York, while tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 contracts rose 0.6%. West Texas Intermediate crude oil fell around 4% to about $84 a barrel. SpaceX’s IPO will be released for quotation at 9:50 a.m. , and eligible for trading at 10 a.m., Nasdaq said. Pre-IPO trading in derivatives indicated a gain of anything between 30% and 50% as retail investors were flocking to the anticipated listing. Futures were climbing as “it’s a bit of a cocktail between oil weaker, SpaceX hype, and a market still built on strong earnings,” said Todd Sohn , chief ETF strategist of Strategas Securities. Regarding SpaceX, he said “demand is clearly through the roof.” The US and Iran were said to be edging toward signing an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz on the sidelines of the Group of Seven world leaders summit next week. Even so, Iran’s state-run Islamic Republic News Agency, or IRNA, on Friday said the country wouldn’t restore the waterway’s pre-war status, and it’s seeking war-related compensation, while Iran’s Fars news agency on Thursday said officials hadn’t yet approved the text of any agreement with the US. In single-stocks trading, Adobe Inc. shares tumbled around 7%, after the software maker said its chief financial officer would depart on June 15.

Frenchman was demoted to seventh for pitlane speeding F1 said it had made a mistake with its measurements Pierre Gasly was reinstated to the Monaco Grand Prix podium on Friday after Formula One stewards rescinded penalties for pitlane speeding after recognising a timekeeping error following an appeal by his Alpine team.

Formula One, responsible for the timekeeping, has now admitted making a mistake with its measurements. Continue reading...
