Based on: Speculative
Meta Connect is Meta's annual flagship hardware event. At Connect 2024 (October), the Quest 3S (entry-level, USD 299) was announced alongside AI glasses. The existing open prediction covers a new AI smart glasses generation (Ray-Ban Meta successor) — this prediction targets a separate VR headset. Preliminary leaks (Android Authority, The Verge, 2026) point to a 'Quest 4 Lite' or 'Quest 3S Gen 2'. Meta's two-year headset cadence (Quest 3: 2023, Quest 3S: 2024) supports a 2026 update. Risk: Meta could deprioritise the VR segment in 2026 in favour of AI wearables and defer a new headset to 2027.
Data basis for this prediction
- Meta Connect 2024: Quest 3S (299 USD) und Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 angekündigt (The Verge, Oktober 2024)
- Meta Connect 2026 Termin bestätigt: 23.–24. September 2026, Menlo Park CA (Meta Newsroom)
- Offene Vorhersage: Meta kündigt auf Connect 2026 neue KI-Smart-Glasses an (Ray-Ban Meta Nachfolger)
- Analyst-Berichte & Leaks: Meta Quest 4 Lite / Quest 3S Gen 2 in Entwicklung (Android Authority 2026)
Verdict: Miss
[Vorzeitig entschieden] Kein neues oder aktualisiertes Headset der Meta-Quest-Linie angekündigt. Das angekündigte Phoenix-Headset gehört nicht zur Quest-Produktlinie; Quest 4 bleibt H2 2027.

PLTR closed at $175.40 on November 4, 2026 (after-hours: $170.88, -2.58%; intraday high: $176.54; 52-week high: $212.94). Palantir clearly beat Q3-FY2026 EPS consensus: total revenue $2.313B, US Commercial revenue +148% YoY to $984M. The $185 threshold is +5.5% above the closing price or +8.3% above after-hours levels. Typical post-earnings 'sell the news' may weigh short-term, but the 52-week high of $212.94 confirms the level is reachable. NVIDIA earnings on November 18, 2026 could serve as a sector-wide catalyst. No direct Polymarket equivalent; own estimate: ~42%.

CBRS trades at $109.18 (October 30, 2026) — already 61% below its all-time high of $279.72. The final and largest lockup expiration is scheduled for November 10, 2026: approximately 19.4 million shares are unlocked (of three tranches of 19.4M each). Prior lockup tranches have consistently weighed on the stock. Insiders have sold ~$394.6M in shares since the May 2026 IPO — zero insider purchases. A Culper Research short-seller report has triggered multiple investigations. A close below $100 requires a ~8.4% decline — plausible given the expected supply pressure on expiration day.

ARM Holdings reports Q2 FY2027 (July–September 2026) on November 4 after market close. EPS consensus: $0.47; revenue consensus ~$1.38B (Theta Research, Oct 29). ARM is the dominant CPU IP licensor for AI servers (Neoverse), smartphones (Apple A-series, Qualcomm), and edge devices — all three segments scaling strongly in 2026. ARM has beaten EPS consensus in each of the last four quarters, driven by AI infrastructure capex. No direct Polymarket contract; analogue: S&P 500 Q3 2026 beat rate ~71%. Key risks: export control escalation (UK/US vs. China), hyperscaler capex delays, or HBM4 demand plateau.
