Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) beats Q3 FY2026 adjusted Non-GAAP EPS consensus of approx. $1.53 per share (July 29, 2026, after market close; confirmed by Qualcomm press release)

Qualcomm reports on July 29, 2026 after market close. Non-GAAP EPS consensus is approximately $1.53 per analysts. Qualcomm benefits strongly from the AI smartphone cycle (Snapdragon X Elite chips in premium Samsung and Apple handsets), an automotive segment growing ~59% YoY, and stable IoT revenues. Easing mobile OEM inventory correction is an additional tailwind. Qualcomm has beaten EPS consensus for six consecutive quarters. No Polymarket market; own calibration 68%.

PayPal under CEO Alex Chriss has pivoted sharply to profitability: cost cuts, transaction margin focus, Venmo monetization, and Braintree enterprise expansion.

SpaceX Starship Flight 13 (launch July 23, 2026): All 20 Starlink V3 satellites successfully deployed into target orbit by July 25, 2026 (confirmed by SpaceX)

SpaceX has confirmed Starship Flight 13 for July 23, 2026 (launch window from 23:45 UTC). For the first time, 20 Starlink V3 satellites will be on board to massively expand network capacity. The previous attempt on July 16 was scrubbed after a post-ignition anomaly (four Raptors didn't ignite); SpaceX fixed the issue and successfully static-fired all 33 booster Raptors. Probability of successful launch and satellite deployment is ~55% — the engine issues are resolved, but Starship has historically produced surprises. Super Heavy will land via splashdown in the Gulf of America (no Mechazilla catch planned).

SpaceX Starship IFT-13 (launched July 24, 2026): First successful deployment of 20 Starlink V3 production satellites confirmed via SpaceX webcast

SpaceX launched Starship Flight 13 (Booster 20, Ship 40) on July 24, 2026 (window: 6:45 PM EDT / 22:45 UTC). Primary mission objective: first deployment of 20 Starlink V3 production satellites designed for direct-to-cell smartphone service. Two prior attempts scrubbed: July 16 (four engine failures) and July 23 (weather). SpaceX expressed high confidence after post-abort engine repairs. Satellite deployment requires overall flight success (separation, upper-stage ignition). Note: the existing open prediction 'Booster returns, Ship survives reentry' covers a separate mission dimension; this prediction targets the primary payload objective.

SAP SE (XETRA: SAP) beats Q2 2026 cloud revenue consensus of approx. €6.2 billion (results expected around July 24, 2026)

SAP achieved Q1 2026 cloud revenue of €6.0B (+27% YoY at constant currencies). Q2 2026 guidance implies a ~1.5pp deceleration to ~25.5% YoY, implying consensus of ~€6.2B. SAP has beaten cloud revenue consensus in 5 of the last 6 quarters, driven by AI products like Joule. Full-year 2026 cloud guidance is €25.8–26.2B.

SpaceX Starship IFT-13 (launch July 23, 2026): Upper stage Ship 30 survives reentry and completes controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean off Western Australia (confirmed via SpaceX webcast)

Starship IFT-13 launches July 23, 2026 from 22:45 UTC at Starbase Texas. Per SpaceX mission profile, Ship 30 should complete a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean off Western Australia ~65 min after launch, following an in-space Raptor relight and landing flip maneuver. This forecast is complementary to existing predictions (booster droneboat in Gulf of Mexico; Starlink V3 suborbital deployment). No Polymarket market found for Ship splashdown specifically. IFT-12 (Nov. 2025) first achieved successful Ship reentry; IFT-13 must repeat it under a more complex payload profile with 20 Starlink V3 satellites deployed suborbital. Success probability increased but Ship reentry remains technically demanding.

SAP reports Q2 results on July 23, 2026 pre-market. Analyst consensus stands at approx. USD 2.04 adjusted EPS per MarketBeat. SAP's AI assistant Joule and Business AI suite are driving sustained cloud revenue growth (>30% YoY in recent quarters).

SpaceX Starship IFT-13 (launch 23 July 2026): Booster B13 successfully lands on drone ship (no Mechazilla catch, confirmed via SpaceX webcast)

Following the July 16, 2026 scrub — post-ignition anomaly: 4 Raptor engines failed to fire — IFT-13 received a new launch window of July 23, 2026. A Mechazilla booster catch is not planned for Flight 13 per SpaceX (earliest Flight 14+); B13 will attempt a conventional drone ship landing on 'Just Read the Instructions'. SpaceX substantially improved booster recovery rates through IFT-11 and IFT-12. Key risks: repeat engine anomalies at ignition (as on July 16) and guidance failures on booster descent.

SpaceX Starship IFT-13 (23 July 2026): All 33 Raptor engines of Booster B13 ignite fully — no repeat of the post-ignition anomaly of 16 July (confirmed by SpaceX webcast)

The first IFT-13 launch attempt on 16 July 2026 was aborted after a post-ignition anomaly: four of Booster B13's 33 Raptor engines failed to complete ignition in sequence. SpaceX identified the root cause (pre-conditioner issue per Space.com and Spaceflight Now) and performed corrections over six days. The new launch window opens 23 July 2026. All downstream open IFT-13 predictions (Ship 30 water landing, booster drone landing, Starlink deployment) implicitly require a clean booster ignition, providing an internal probability floor. No Polymarket sub-market for this early milestone; historical SpaceX post-identified-abort success rate is >90%, minus residual new-anomaly risk yields own calibration of 78%.

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) reports Google Cloud segment revenue growth of more than 55% year-over-year in Q2 2026 earnings on July 22, 2026

In Q1 2026, Google Cloud grew 63% to $20.0B YoY, driven by AI infrastructure and enterprise AI solutions. The Cloud backlog nearly doubled to over $460B. Analysts expect a consolidated EPS of ~$2.87 for Q2 2026. Even with some deceleration, growth exceeding 55% is realistic — a miss would imply an exceptionally sharp demand slowdown in AI cloud. Risk: Q2 2025 also posted strong cloud growth, raising the year-over-year comparison base.
