SpaceX sets Aug. 4 for 2026 Q2 results
SpaceX said on X that it will release its financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2026 on Aug. 4, 2026.
Under provisions in its earlier prospectus, eligible insider shareholders can begin unlocking shares two days after the company publishes its 2026 Q2 results. The first major unlock is set for Aug. 6, when early shares equal to 8% of total share capital, or 20% of the early lockup pool, will become eligible. If the stock is up 30% from its IPO price and meets that threshold on five of 10 trading days, an additional 10% can be unlocked, which would bring the maximum unlock on Aug. 6 to 12%.
Before SpaceX releases its 2026 Q3 results, additional 2.8% unlocks are scheduled for Aug. 21, Sept. 10, Sept. 25, Oct. 12, and Oct. 26.

Washington state court issues preliminary injunction against Kalshi
According to Daniel Wallach, a court in Washington state issued a preliminary injunction against Kalshi, finding that its business violates Washington state gambling law and is therefore illegal, and that the Commodity Exchange Act does not override state law.
A Kalshi public relations representative responded that U.S. states do not have judicial authority to regulate prediction markets. Kalshi said multiple courts, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, have already defined that legal boundary through precedent. The company also said it was disappointed that Washington state continues to spend public resources on the regulatory action and argued that oversight of prediction markets belongs at the federal level.
