SpaceX Stock: Big Dreams, Big Swings

SpaceX’s SPCX has swung wildly since its IPO—peaking near $225, dropping to about $105, and rebounding to the low-$140s—as investors weigh the huge spending against growing AI revenue and Starship milestones. Key drivers: hype outpacing reality, multi‑billion capex (about $18.4B in Q2 with $15.8B on AI infra) while AI revenue rose ~247% to $2.6B and EBITDA turned positive in that segment, and Starship's development risk and potential to slash launch costs. At a $1.9T valuation with quarterly revenue under $8B, long‑term investors should watch SpaceX’s growth/profitability, returns on AI investments, and Starship progress; the Fool notes it isn’t among their current top stock picks.

The move follows a sharp drop in SK Hynix shares, with its ADR down around 12% and the local stock slipping roughly 11–12%, as investors weigh the chipmaker’s fundamentals and the broader memory-chip rally.

Lucid denies bankruptcy chatter as stock volatility persists and restructuring continues

Lucid denied a report that it’s weighing bankruptcy or going private, saying rumors are false and it has liquidity to operate into next year; shares slumped with multiple trading halts before closing down about 16%. AlixPartners was reportedly reviewing options, but Lucid says no board committee has been formed and no bankruptcy recommendations were made. The backdrop includes slower EV adoption, Trump-era policy changes eliminating the $7,500 federal tax credit, 18% U.S. layoffs, missed Q2 deliveries, a leadership reshuffle, and suspended production guidance as the company focuses on reducing inventory and the Gravity SUV, with Saudi PIF backing.

Avis Budget Group strikes $650 million settlement with Pentwater over stock-swing profits

Avis Budget Group has reached a $650 million cash settlement with hedge fund Pentwater Capital to resolve a lawsuit over profits from short-swing trades tied to volatile Avis shares earlier this year. Pentwater’s rapid buying and subsequent selling helped fuel a more than 300% rally in April before a crash, and Avis alleged the moves violated securities-law short-swing provisions. The settlement, subject to court approval, would recover gains and end the dispute, while analysts noted Pentwater’s influence on the stock’s float and volatility. Avis shares rose in after-hours trading on the news.
