  • Shift: SPCX listed Nasdaq 2026-06-12 at $135 IPO and ran +41% (intraday ~$190.66) / +67% at peak ($225.64) on a ~4% float. The run is a low-float, pre-lockup melt-up (supply-starved technical), not a fundamental re-rating: June-July has ~0 lockup supply and only a tiny ~$4B early index-inclusion bid. Priced terms ($135, $75B, float 4.3%) match the 2026-06-03 net-flow model's parametric base case exactly — model graduates parametric -> deal-confirmed.
  • Effect on thesis: Posture unchanged and now deal-confirmed: net flow flips from a tiny passive bid to a large lockup overhang at the Q2-2026 earnings release (~late-July/Aug) and worsens into the Q3 release (~Sept/Oct); 180d remainder ~Dec 9. Self-limiting: at ~+41% SPCX has already cleared the $175.50 price-trigger that arms an extra +10% early-release tranche. Not a trade (real book holds none; don't chase a vertical IPO, don't short a 4% float); supported stance is patience for the post-lockup reset.
  • Per-ticker: SPCX: low-float melt-up, dated supply cliff from Q2 release; not a position. ARKX: space-ETF halo (rides SPCX-conglomerate sentiment, not the float mechanic); no action.
