Foldable iPhone and AI bets spark retail chatter around Apple, Nvidia, Oracle, Nokia, SpaceX

Retail traders focused on AAPL, NVDA, ORCL, NOK and SPCX last week as Apple unveiled the foldable iPhone Duo (starting at $1,999) and raised prices on Pro models, Nvidia reportedly considering up to $10 billion for Anthropic’s IPO, Oracle lifted its AI-cloud outlook with over $30 billion in new AI deals, Nokia rolled out Cognitive Operations for AI-heavy use cases, and SpaceX outlined ambitions to reach as much as 10 GW of terrestrial AI capacity by 2027. The week saw gains for AAPL, NVDA and NOK, while SPCX and ORCL declined, with year-to-date performance showing strong runners like AAPL/NVDA/NOK and laggards including SPCX/ORCL.

SpaceX AI Boom Forces a Fresh Look at its Valuation

Barron’s reports SpaceX’s AI-driven growth has pushed 2027 forecasted sales to about $100 billion and EBITDA to $59 billion, with AI revenue now seen at roughly $60 billion for 2027 and potentially hundreds of billions by 2031. However, Prof. Aswath Damodaran cautions that SpaceX’s heavy reliance on renting computing capacity could undercut its AI story unless it monetizes AI applications of its own. The stock trades around 34x 2027 EBITDA, a lofty multiple that Barron’s notes isn’t a buy signal and hinges on AI revenue materializing as projected.

SpaceX marks a milestone with SES’s three O3b mPOWER satellites launch

SpaceX lofted three SES O3b mPOWER telecom satellites into medium Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral on a Falcon 9, marking SpaceX’s 700th Falcon mission. The first stage landed on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas about nine minutes after liftoff; the upper stage deployed the satellites at about 5,000 miles altitude over roughly 14 minutes. Each Boeing-built satellite weighs ~3,750 pounds (1,700 kg), completing the O3b mPOWER constellation to deliver low latency and high throughput.

SpaceX set to launch final trio of SES O3b mPOWER satellites from Cape Canaveral

SpaceX will launch SES's final three O3b mPOWER satellites (F11-F13) on a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral's SLC-40, completing the 13-satellite MEO constellation. Liftoff is planned within an 87-minute window starting at 2:49 p.m. EDT, with weather forecasts indicating mixed conditions. Booster B1080 will attempt a drone ship landing on A Shortfall of Gravitas, marking SpaceX's 400th orbital launch from SLC-40 and the 166th booster landing on that vessel. The satellites are set to deploy from the second stage about 34 minutes after liftoff and are expected to enter service by mid-2027 after orbit-raising and checkouts; SES says the finalized constellation will boost capabilities to meet growing demand.

Tesla Sets October 1 Reveal for Next-Gen Roadster, Teasing a Flying Demo

Tesla has announced an October 1 reveal for its next-generation Roadster, the long-delayed follow-up that first appeared as a concept over a decade ago as the company pivots toward AI, robotics, and autonomy; early teasers suggest taillamps and four circular elements that could be SpaceX‑developed thrusters for a possible flying demo, with a street-legal version also planned and a remotely operated demo vehicle reportedly possible due to thruster noise, while prices are expected to run into hundreds of thousands of dollars as Tesla positions the car as a potential 'swan song' before widespread self-driving.

Space Debris Leaves Fresh Lunar Crater After 2025 Falcon 9 Mission

A SpaceX Falcon 9 upper-stage, left in orbit after a 2025 mission, crashed into the Moon on Aug 5, 2026, creating a fresh ~60-foot (18-meter) crater. The impact—unlike most lunar craters—was due to human-made space junk, not an asteroid, and debris included lithium from the rocket and sodium from the lunar surface; NASA’s LRO and South Korea’s Danuri captured images confirming the crater and its surroundings. This event helps scientists study how spacecraft and debris affect the Moon and informs future mission risk assessments.

T-Mobile CFO brushes off Starlink Mobile as non-threatening to carriers

T-Mobile CFO Peter Osvaldik says SpaceX’s Starlink Mobile isn’t a competitive threat to wireless carriers, arguing that a strategy pivot would be laughed out of management. Starlink plans to blend direct-to-cell satellites with a dense network of femtocells to reach phones and cover remote areas, but critics say deploying billions of femtocells and navigating urban signal-blocking infrastructure is impractical. Starlink argues it can eliminate dead zones and attract customers from incumbents, while the big-three carriers remain far larger in revenue.

Starlink Scraps 5TB Data Cap After User Backlash

SpaceX appears to have reversed a throttling policy tied to a 5TB monthly data cap on Starlink’s Residential service after customer complaints, with affected users reporting speeds returning to normal and some receiving a one-month service credit. The move follows criticism that Starlink marketed its service as unlimited and lacked clear guidance on data use, with throttling previously reducing speeds to 10Mbps or lower for the rest of the billing cycle.
