Ursa Major to go public via $2.3B SPAC merger

Ursa Major, a Colorado-based defense technology firm, will go public through a merger with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. III, valuing the combined entity at approximately $2.3 billion. The deal, announced August 25, 2026, secures at least $350 million in committed financing to expand production of hypersonic missiles and solid rocket motors. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, allowing Ursa Major to trade on Nasdaq. The capital will fund the conversion of its Galeton, Colorado, test site into a production campus and support the scaling of its HAVOC missile system and Draper liquid engine. This move marks a strategic shift from commercial rocket engine supply to broader defense manufacturing, aligning with Pentagon efforts to diversify the missile industrial base.

Spotify's Surprising Turnaround: Quarterly Profit and Revenue Boost

Spotify reported a surprise profit of 65 million euros ($69.1 million) in the third quarter, beating analysts' expectations of a loss. The company's CFO, Paul Vogel, stated that they have hit an inflection point and expect to consistently be profitable moving forward. The stock surged by as much as 11% following the earnings call. Spotify achieved higher gross margins and lower costs due to recent price hikes and cost-cutting initiatives. Concerns were raised about the impact of the company's audiobooks push on margin growth, but management reassured investors that it would not derail their progress. Free cash flow also improved significantly. Wall Street analysts praised the report and expressed optimism about Spotify's long-term potential.

Residential Market Prices Surge as Home Prices Reach New Highs

The housing market is approaching an inflection point as home prices are expected to sharply increase, according to Black Knight. After five consecutive months of gains, home prices have reversed the pullback that began last July. While prices are currently down 0.1% on a year-over-year basis, Black Knight anticipates a significant upward trend in the coming months. The housing market's resurgence is widespread, with many markets reaching or surpassing their previous price peaks. However, housing supply remains tight, and affordability is a concern due to high mortgage rates and rising costs. The Federal Reserve faces the challenge of achieving a "soft landing" without reigniting inflation.
