SpaceX Starship Flight 14 (IFT-14): First launch attempt by 30 September 2026 (Q3 2026, confirmed by SpaceX webcast or press release)

Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 25. July 2026 · Predicted for 30. September 2026 · Based on: Speculative
Probability
52%

Starship IFT-13 launched successfully on 24 July 2026: all 20 Starlink V3 satellites were deployed and SpaceX celebrated the softest Starship splashdown ever. IFT-14 is planned for Q3 2026 per RocketLaunch.Live and SpaceOdysseyHub, aiming for the first V3 booster catch. With 4–8 weeks prep time after IFT-13, an August or September 2026 attempt is realistic – but FAA licensing and hardware checks could delay the window.

Microsoft reports Q4 FY2026 on July 29, 2026. Intelligent Cloud posted ~$26.8B revenue in Q3 FY2026 (Jan–Mar 2026) at ~33–34% YoY growth.

PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) beats Q2-2026 adjusted Non-GAAP EPS consensus of approx. $1.40 per share (expected 28 July 2026, after market close, confirmed by PayPal press release)

PayPal under CEO Alex Chriss has pivoted sharply to profitability: cost cuts, transaction margin focus, Venmo monetization, and Braintree enterprise expansion. EPS consensus was beaten in ~75% of quarters in 2024–2025. Q2-2026 consensus approx. $1.40 Non-GAAP EPS.

OpenAI: Shares begin trading for the first time on NYSE or Nasdaq (IPO completion) by December 31, 2026 (confirmed by SEC trading commencement notice or OpenAI press release)

OpenAI filed a confidential S-1 prospectus with the SEC on June 8, 2026. Kalshi traders see only ~33% probability for actual IPO completion (first day of trading on a US exchange) before January 1, 2027 β€” well below Polymarket's ~71% which may also capture announcements. OpenAI's CFO publicly signaled 2027 as the more likely timeline. If the S-1 is filed on September 30, 2026 (separate open prediction), only ~3 months remain for SEC review (standard: 3–4 rounds at 30 days each) and roadshow β€” an extremely tight schedule. Cassandra calibrates to Kalshi level: 30%.
