SpaceX sends Starship rocket into orbit for first time ever

A crucial day for SpaceX: Elon Musk's aerospace outfit launched Starship early Monday, getting the rocket into orbit for the first time. The test flight — Starship's 14th overall — could prove vital to SpaceX's future, which the company is building in large part around Starlink, its biggest and only profitable business. The launch carried more than two dozen new Starlink V3 satellites into space.

Oura targets $2.2B in US listing for smart rings

Oura, the Finnish maker of health-tracking smart rings, plans to raise up to $2.2 billion in an initial public offering, according to a Monday filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. An IPO at that price would value the company — which has sold millions of rings and counts over five million paying subscribers — as high as $14.1 billion. Despite growing revenue, Oura's losses surpassed $900 million in the last year. Its Nasdaq listing is seen as a test of investor appetite for wearables.

SpaceX investors free to unload $101B in stock amid slump

SpaceX faces a major test as $101 billion in insider stock becomes tradable Thursday. Over 900 million shares will become available, more than doubling the roughly 639 million available now. The phased, nine-stage lockup structure aims to soften potential selling waves but adds complexity for investors who are still holding on to SpaceX shares, which now sit below the $135 IPO price and have plunged since June. "We're in uncharted waters," one investment manager tells WebNovare. With additional unlocks through December, trading conditions will likely remain unsettled.
