A securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of AeroVironment investors after its stock plummeted over 17% because AeroVironment allegedly misled investors regarding its SCAR contract to provide the U.S. Space Force with its BADGER systems.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVAV) and certain of the Company's senior executives for securities fraud after its significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.

Key Details of the AeroVironment ($AVAV) Class Action:

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: July 27, 2026 Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud relating to AeroVironment's contract to provide the U.S. Space Force's SCAR program with its BADGER phased array antenna systems Largest Alleged Stock Drop: March 2, 2026 – 17% Stock Drop Court: U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia Action: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights Investors have until July 27, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in AeroVironment securities. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. It is captioned Norrell v. AeroVironment, et al., No. 26-cv-01429.

Why is AeroVironment Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

In May 2025, AeroVironment acquired BlueHalo, LLC, a defense technology firm specializing in advanced engineering. Three years earlier, BlueHalo had been awarded a $1.4 billion contract to deliver its BADGER phased array antenna systems to support the U.S. Space Force's SCAR program.

According to the complaint, during the relevant period, AeroVironment consistently touted its SCAR contract and indicated it represented a "tremendous growth opportunity," that AeroVironment's work pursuant to the contract was "very much on track," that the customer was "asking for more [BADGER systems]," and that the Company stood "ready to build more."

As alleged, in truth, AeroVironment faced a significant likelihood of competition for the SCAR program and overstated its goodwill from its BlueHalo acquisition.

BFA Law is also investigating AeroVironment's June 22, 2026, announcement that the financial statements in its quarterly report for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026 "require restatement and should no longer be relied upon."

Why did AeroVironment's Stock Drop?

On January 20, 2026, AeroVironment announced that the U.S. government issued a stop work order on the Company's agreement to deliver BADGER systems to the SCAR program, upon mutual agreement with the Company. This news caused the price of AeroVironment common stock to decline $61.97 per share, or 15.77%, from $392.86 per share on January 16, 2026, to $330.89 per share on January 20, 2026.

On March 2, 2026, Space News reported that the U.S. Space Force was reopening the SCAR program to suppliers other than AeroVironment and "are going to move into a new acquisition strategy for SCAR" which would "likely take the form of other companies building versions or variants of SCAR." On this news, AeroVironment's common stock dropped $43.93 per share, or 17.42%, from $284.24 per share at open on March 2, 2026, to a close of $208.32 per share.

Then, on March 10, 2026, AeroVironment announced its Q3 financial results reporting an operating loss of $179.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million for the same period in fiscal year 2025. The company also announced the impact of a $151.3 million goodwill impairment in the AeroVironment's space division after the stop work order tied to the Space Force's SCAR program. This news caused the price of AeroVironment common stock to drop $13.84 per share, or 6.24%, from $221.57 per share on March 10, 2026, to $207.73 per share on March 11, 2026.

On July 07, 2026, we take a closer look at the discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis for Equinix Inc (EQIX). The company has shown a price performance of -8.0% ov

July 1 carries a particular significance for many liquids pipelines in the U.S. Each year on this date, these pipelines are able to adjust their rates using an index based on inflation. This July marks the first adjustment with a new five-year level for the index. Today’s note provides an overview of the Oil Pipeline Index and why it matters for midstream, especially in periods of inflation.

Key Takeaways Liquids pipelines and other assets following FERC’s Oil Pipeline Index could increase rates by up to 1.43% on July 1.  The increase for July 2026 was the smallest of the last five years. However, rising inflation could drive a more noticeable increase for July 2027. Whether based on the FERC index or another metric, long-term midstream contracts typically include an annual inflation adjustment. This and real asset exposure helps midstream/MLPs perform well in periods of inflation.  What Is the Oil Pipeline Index? The Oil Pipeline Index is overseen by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). FERC is tasked with ensuring that interstate pipeline rates are just and reasonable for both oil and natural gas. Many pipelines that transport liquids (oil, natural gas liquids, refined products like gasoline and diesel) use the FERC’s index, which sets the ceiling for annual rate changes. As discussed more below, other assets use the FERC index as well. The index is based on the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods (PPI-FG) with an adjustment. 

The Oil Pipeline Index is reviewed every five years to ensure that: 1) it appropriately reflects changes in industry costs, and 2) rates remain just and reasonable. The industry-wide index was established in the 1990s to help avoid cumbersome cost-of-service filings and litigation for individual pipelines. 

In April, FERC announced that the index would be based on PPI-FG – 0.55% for the next five years beginning with July 1, 2026. For the midstream industry, this marked a better outcome than the initial index level of PPI-FG – 1.42% that was proposed back in November 2025. In short, annual rate adjustments will be based on inflation, modestly tracking below the change in PPI-FG. 

What Was the Rate Adjustment for 2026? How Does It Compare to Recent Years? The change in PPI-FG for 2025 is used in the formula to calculate the rate adjustment for 2026. For 2025, PPI-FG increased by 1.979%. Therefore, pipelines following the index were able to increase their rates by up to 1.429% on July 1 (1.979% – 0.55%). 

The chart below shows the annual rate changes as outlined by the FERC’s Oil Pipeline Index since 1995. Notably, 2023 saw a record-high adjustment of 14.3% reflecting soaring inflation in 2022. For 2024 and 2025, the adjustments were more modest at around 2%. The ceiling rate increase for July 2026 marks the lowest increase of the last five years. With inflation heating up again, there may be a more noticeable increase for July 2027.

So What? Certainly, the pipeline index is important for the 195 FERC-regulated pipelines that rely on the index for ratemaking. However, the impact for midstream is broader. Many midstream assets outside of FERC’s jurisdiction incorporate the index into contracts to ensure their rates are adjusting with inflation. Intrastate pipelines (regulated by states), terminals, and storage facilities may rely on the index for annual rate adjustments. 

It is also worth noting that liquids pipelines do not have to follow the FERC index. Some liquids pipelines use market-based or negotiated rates, where the pipeline provider and customer essentially agree to a certain rate. ONEOK (OKE) said on their 1Q26 earnings call that 70% of the volume in their Refined Product and Crude segment used market-based rates, instead of the FERC index. 

Importantly, whether assets use the FERC index or not, long-term midstream contracts typically include an annual inflation adjustment. As just one example, Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) highlights that approximately 90% of its long-term contracts include escalation provisions to limit the impact of inflation on cash flows and distributions. In addition to real asset exposure, this factor also contributes to midstream/MLPs typically holding up well in periods of inflation. 

As shown below, MLPs represented by the Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index (AMZI) and broader midstream represented by the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Index (AMEI) tend to outperform in periods of elevated inflation. Specifically, AMZI outperformed the S&P 500 on a total-return basis in seven of the nine years since 2000 when inflation has exceeded 3%. AMEI has less history but outperformed the S&P 500 in five of the six years shown. 

Bottom Line: The FERC Oil Pipeline Index provides one relevant example of the inflation protection built into midstream cash flows. Annual inflation adjustments in contracts and the real asset exposure in the space have historically been supportive for midstream/MLP performance in periods of elevated inflation.

The Social 50 Income ETF combines exposure to stocks widely held in SoFi member-driven accounts, with an active options strategy that seeks monthly income and long-term growth

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI), the everything app for digital financial services, today announced the availability of a new exchange-traded fund (ETF), the SoFi Social 50 Income ETF (NYSE Arca: SFYI). SFYI invests in the top 50 U.S.-listed stocks held by SoFi Invest self-directed brokerage accounts and adds an actively managed options strategy designed to pursue monthly income distributions and growth potential.

Many investors use options strategies, like covered calls, as part of an income-oriented investment approach. But putting those strategies into practice can require a significant upfront investment, ongoing risk management, and time to execute.

SFYI offers a simpler way to access potential income by combining a professionally managed options strategy with a diversified portfolio of stocks held in SoFi Invest self-directed brokerage accounts. Through a single ETF, investors can gain exposure to an options-based income strategy without having to build and manage covered call positions on their own.

“Income-seeking investors are being challenged to rethink their traditional playbook amid an uncertain interest rate environment and economic volatility – but they may not know where to start,” said Brian Walsh, Head of Advice and Planning at SoFi. “With SFYI, we are providing investors with another way to pursue their objectives. By combining the most-widely held stocks by members of the SoFi Active Invest community with a strategy that seeks monthly income and potential growth, SFYI helps simplify options-based strategies by offering exposure through a single ETF.”

SFYI offers a simpler path to options-based income with strategies such as covered calls and call spreads. By embedding these tools directly into the fund, investors receive:

Lower Capital Barriers: Covered call strategies typically require owning at least 100 shares of a stock. SFYI provides access to an options-based income strategy through a single ETF. Active Management: The fund is actively managed by professional portfolio managers, removing the need for investors to manually execute and manage options trades. Convenient ETF Structure: SFYI provides an efficient way for investors to access complex options strategies rather than executing them independently. Greater Diversification: Rather than concentrating on a single company stock, the fund's options strategy is applied across a broad portfolio of some of the most widely-held stocks, offering a more diversified approach to income investing. SFYI builds upon SoFi’s existing ETF, the SoFi Social 50 ETF (NYSE Arca: SFYF), which invests in the top 50 stocks most widely held by members of the SoFi Active Invest community, and adds an income-generating options strategy. Current holdings for SFYF, though subject to change, include names such as Tesla, NVIDIA, and Amazon. Stocks are rebalanced monthly and weighted according to how much money members have invested in each company at the end of every month.

SFYI is a series of Tidal Trust I. Tidal Investments LLC, a Tidal Financial Group company, is the Investment Adviser to SFYI with a gross expense ratio of 0.73%. SoFi serves as brand sponsor and marketing support provider, but does not make investment decisions, provide investment advice, or otherwise act as investment adviser. SFYI is listed on NYSE Arca and can be purchased through SoFi Invest and other brokerage platforms like other ETFs available in the secondary market.

New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

Archer Aviation (ACHR +7.73%) stock got hit with a huge pullback last month. The company's share price fell 30.5% over the period, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 declined 1.1% in June, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.8%.

While there was little in the way of fresh, business-specific news driving the pullback, the stock saw a massive valuation decline as investors moved out of speculative growth stocks. As of this writing, the stock is now down roughly 47% over the last year.

Image source: Getty Images.

Archer Aviation stock got crushed in June despite little news June was a slow news month for Archer Aviation, which makes the stock's huge valuation decline in the month somewhat surprising. On the other hand, there were some macroeconomic catalysts that explain the big pullback.

For starters, investors broadly became more convinced that a move from the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates probably isn't coming any time soon -- and more concerned that the Fed could move to hike rates. The U.S. central banking authority uses rate increases to combat inflation, and accelerating inflation connected to rising energy prices due to the Iran war had investors worried last month that rate increases could arrive this year. That could be trouble for Archer stock.

Even after big sell-offs, Archer Aviation has a market capitalization of roughly $4.1 billion. Meanwhile, the company is valued at approximately 430 times this year's expected sales. Highly growth-dependent stocks tend to perform much better in low-interest rate environments, and they can get hit with huge pullbacks when rates start to rise.

Archer has regained some ground early in July Archer Aviation stock has seen bullish momentum early in July's trading, with the stock up more than 9% in the month as of this writing. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is up 0.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite is up roughly 0.3%.

In addition to bullish support for the broader market, Archer stock has climbed higher in conjunction with electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) industry news. On June 30, Joby Aviation announced that it had entered a new joint venture with Toyota to advance manufacturing capabilities for eVTOL aircraft.

While Joby is arguably Archer's biggest competitor, investors appear to view the new partnership as a positive indicator for the broader eVTOL industry. Archer has a similar partnership with Stellantis, and the team-up between Joby and Toyota seems to have investors feeling more bullish about auto manufacturers helping leading eVTOL players eventually reach profitability.

Disrupting traditional banking in Brazil Nu operates an all-digital bank in its Brazil headquarters as well as in Mexico and Colombia. It has been an incredible success in Brazil, where more than 60% of the adult population has an account on its platform, and it's taking that playbook and expanding into its newer markets.

The company continues to demonstrate robust growth in all of its markets. Since it's already so big in Brazil, the percentage growth in the market is slowing down, but it's still adding millions of new customers annually in what is the largest population in Latin America. Its younger markets are growing faster by rate. In total, it added four million customers in the 2026 first quarter for a total of 135 million. It now has 15 million customers in Mexico and is the third-largest financial institution in the country.

In addition to adding new customers, its strategy is to grow through cross-selling and upselling. That still provides it a long growth runway even in Brazil, where it had primarily attracted a mass audience but is now going after the upper-income population. Average revenue per active customer (ARPAC) increased from $12 last year to $16 this year in the first quarter, and it's worth noting that the increase is inclusive of 16 million new customers over the trailing 12 months.

Many growth levers to pull Nu has many levers to pull to generate continued growth. It's still capturing market share both in customer count and product adoption in Brazil, where it's already highly penetrated, and it's just getting started in its newer markets. It's getting a proper bank charter in Brazil and Mexico, which widens its market opportunity.

It also received initial approval for a bank charter in the U.S., which could be its next growth market. It obtained naming rights for Miami's Inter CF Soccer stadium, and it's likely to target Latin American-adjacent communities in Southern states.

At the current lower price, Nu stock trades at 22 times trailing 12-month earnings, just above a recent all-time low. Long-term investors with some appetite for risk can view this as an excellent opportunity to buy on the dip.

The pharmaceutical industry is massive, worth over $1.7 trillion globally in 2024. So when an up-and-coming player emerges, it can deliver life-changing returns for investors fortunate enough to get in early. Roivant Sciences (ROIV +0.74%) certainly seems like a rising star. The biotech stock has more than tripled over the past year, soaring to $35 per share and a market cap of $25 billion.

Roivant is a biotech company turning a loaded pipeline into reality, and its sales could soar into the billions of dollars over the next five years. But can the stock continue to deliver multibagger returns? That won't be as easy after its recent ascension. Here's some math to consider when setting expectations for the stock.

A loaded pipeline with big things ahead Roivant Sciences builds small, focused subsidiaries called Vants that develop drug products and technologies to treat various diseases and health conditions. Across these Vants, Roivant has amassed an impressive pipeline that management expects will have three commercial launches over the next three years. Its lead drug candidate is brepocitinib, an oral drug for treating dermatomyositis, a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the skin and muscles.

The company has only generated $8.3 million in revenue over the past 12 months, but that's about to change in a big way. Wall Street estimates compiled by market intelligence company Fintel peg 2027 revenue at approximately $1 billion, rising to $4.5 billion in 2031. Now, those estimates assume that drug approvals go as planned, which isn't a certainty by any means. Still, the market expects enormous growth from Roivant Sciences, which helps explain the stock's recent rise.

Why buying now could be an uphill battle You may have heard the expression that the price you pay matters, but it rings truest in these situations.

If you assume that Roivant does, in fact, reach $4.5 billion in sales in 2031, the stock, at a $25 billion market cap, already trades at 5.6 times those sales. A healthcare industry leader such as AbbVie trades at about 7 times its trailing-12-month sales, never mind revenue five years out.

If you buy Roivant Sciences now, you're assuming a lot of things go right over the coming years. Expectations can change, or better or worse, with a single clinical-trial readout.

But you need even more from Roivant if you're buying the stock as a potential multibagger over the next five years -- from here, that would mean the stock needs to reach a market cap of at least $50 billion to $75 billion. Is that possible? Of course. Is it likely? Probably not.

Few investors expected 2026 to start as it did for Sandisk (SNDK +0.10%). The stock has risen about 635% year to date as of the time of writing, although it's down sharply from its high of a 884% gain thanks to the recent AI-related selloff. However, many investors are wondering whether the stock has gotten too hot and needs to cool off further, or if this is the perfect time to buy the stock on sale.

Let's take a look at what caused this run in the first place, as Sandisk's situation is unusual compared to most stocks that go parabolic.

Image source: Getty Images.

A massive market trend is forcing Sandisk's stock higher Sandisk makes NAND memory, which is used to store data in all types of computing devices. However, recently, there has been a massive spike in NAND usage in solid-state drives (SSDs). SSDs are used in data centers for long-term data storage. Given that artificial intelligence software needs to store nearly unprecedented amounts of data for training, and then have quick access to prior chat results and a vast array of other information to function properly in the inference phase, data center demand for SSDs has skyrocketed.

The memory industry wasn't ready for this spike in demand, which now far exceeds supply, so prices have skyrocketed. Because Sandisk is suddenly able to charge far more for its products, its revenue and earnings are soaring. Prior to the demand spike, Sandisk was a boring cyclical stock, and the market had limited expectations for it, so its valuation was extremely low -- just 0.6 times forward earnings at this time last year.

SNDK PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts.

However, as its growth accelerated and the trend proved longer-lasting, the stock's valuation skyrocketed, reaching more than 35 times forward earnings. Now, it trades at 9.3 times forward earnings. (A large portion of that recent plummet was the result of Sandisk's fiscal 2027 beginning on July 1; the valuation now reflects the higher earnings projections for its new fiscal year.)

The bigger question now is, how long will this elevated demand for memory last? According to industry peer Micron (MU +1.18%), companies expect tight market conditions to persist beyond calendar 2027, which is great news for Sandisk shareholders.

With its price tag reverting to a relatively cheap level and another year or more of strong growth likely ahead due to supply constraints, Sandisk stock looks like one that could keep rising, and now could be a great time to buy it on sale. While that may seem counterintuitive, those are the market conditions that Sandisk is operating in. If data center build-outs continue to ramp up, this imbalance between memory supply and demand could last for years.

SILVER SPRINGS, Nev., July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock” and the “Company”) and Comstock Metals LLC (“Comstock Metals”), a leader in the responsible, zero-landfill recycling of end-of-life solar panels with the first certified North American operations announced today that it has integrated, tested and operated the robotic loading and initial conveyance system, representing the front-end stages of its production process as part of the overall commissioning of its first-of-a-kind, industry-scale solar recycling facility.

The operating system has three major operating stages that are currently being integrated, individually stress tested and commissioned. This represents another significant step toward the full commissioning, start up and continuous operation of the 100,000 ton per year solar panel recycling production line. The robotic arms and the continuous loading and conveyance systems that feed the initial crushers are now fully integrated and operational.

“We are pleased to report that, as of last week, we completed the wiring, interconnection of the PLC systems, integration and testing of the first third of the plant, and specifically the robotic loading arms and that the initial tests all resulted in effective and expedient loading of the panels into the system. In fact, the loading systems capacity test exceeded our estimated capacity design maximums by 10%,” stated Corrado De Gasperis, CEO of Comstock. “The team will now stress test the particle size reduction stage of the system and continue forward into our proprietary process integration and testing. We remain on track for stress testing those components over the next two weeks.”

“We are now well into the process of bringing the industry-scale production plant online while taking great care to make sure each stage is working as designed and to specification and then stress-testing these processes at volumes representing the equipment’s stated capacities,” stated Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, Comstock Metals President. “The front end is now actually working better than initial designs and has been tested and operating, and we will continue moving through the rest of the production system in that same sequence, such that by next month, the nine distinct unit operations will all be operational together. We are also now leveraging the modular nature of the start-up process to train and develop the operating crews to move from a 24/5 to a 24/7 on a 12-hour rotating shift basis.”

The start-up sequence is largely dictated by the engineering requirements and, to a lesser extent, the responses to continued requests for materials and samples from the growing population of potential offtake customers.

While we work on bringing the recycling process online, we also continue to stress-test the secondary upgrading processes for the offtake products, especially glass, in order to ensure compliance with customer specifications as we continue expanding our addressable markets for those products,” continued Villamagna. “The operating team and the personnel development that resulted from a multi-year demonstration facility is now proving extremely beneficial. These developmental and commissioning activities, along with all aspects of integration, testing, tuning and staged stress testing will continue throughout July, while continuous operations should commence this August.”

Launched on May 8, 2007, the First Trust Large Cap Growth AlphaDEX ETF (FTC - Free Report) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Large Cap Growth segment of the US equity market.

The fund is sponsored by First Trust Advisors. It has amassed assets over $1.37 billion, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Growth segment of the US equity market.

Why Large Cap GrowthLarge cap companies typically have a market capitalization above $10 billion. Considered a more stable option, large cap companies boast more predictable cash flows and are less volatile than their mid and small cap counterparts.

Growth stocks have higher than average sales and earnings growth rates. While these are expected to grow faster than the broader market, they also have higher valuations. Further, growth stocks have a higher level of volatility associated with them. When you consider growth versus value, growth stocks are usually the clear winner in strong bull markets but tend to fall flat in nearly all other environments.

CostsSince cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.

Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.58%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.

It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 0.14%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsETFs offer a diversified exposure and thus minimize single stock risk but it is still important to delve into a fund's holdings before investing. Most ETFs are very transparent products and many disclose their holdings on a daily basis.

This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Industrials sector -- about 27.1% of the portfolio. Information Technology and Financials round out the top three.

Looking at individual holdings, Seagate Technology Holdings Plc (STX) accounts for about 1.5% of total assets, followed by Vertiv Holdings Co (class A) (VRT) and Mastec, Inc. (MTZ).

The top 10 holdings account for about 12.96% of total assets under management.

Performance and RiskFTC seeks to match the performance of the Nasdaq AlphaDEX Large Cap Growth Index before fees and expenses. The NASDAQ AlphaDEX Large Cap Growth Index is an enhanced index which employs the AlphaDEX stock selection methodology to select stocks from the NASDAQ US 500 Large Cap Growth Index.

The ETF return is roughly 16.68% so far this year and it's up approximately 23.02% in the last one year (as of 07/07/2026). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $148.93 and $194.14.

The ETF has a beta of 1.13 and standard deviation of 19.01% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 188 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.

AlternativesFirst Trust Large Cap Growth AlphaDEX ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 (Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Because of this, FTC is a great option for investors seeking exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Growth segment of the market. There are other additional ETFs in the space that investors could consider as well.

The Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF Shares (VUG) and the Invesco QQQ (QQQ) track a similar index. While Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF Shares has $224.76 billion in assets, Invesco QQQ has $481.89 billion. VUG has an expense ratio of 0.03% and QQQ charges 0.18%.

Bottom-LineAn increasingly popular option among retail and institutional investors, passively managed ETFs offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; they are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.

After a debut that sent the stock to a peak near $226 per share within days, Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX 0.99%) has given back a large chunk of that run and trades near $160 as of this writing. The pullback has rattled some new shareholders, and the honest read is that it might have more room to fall. That does not make the stock a mistake. It makes the method you use to buy it the thing that matters.

Why the SpaceX sell-off might get worse The first pressure is supply. SpaceX staggered its insider lockup, and the first block of shares, nearly 20% of the locked pool, is released after the second-quarter report in late July. Smaller tranches will follow through the fall, with the full 180-day batch clearing in December. More sellable shares meeting the same pool of buyers can press the price lower, and that supply arrives on a schedule the market can see coming.

The second pressure is the price itself. A market value near $2 trillion bakes in moon bases, a high Starship flight rate, and orbital data centers, outcomes that could take a decade to prove. A launch setback or a slipped timeline could reset sentiment in a hurry, and the $226 per-share peak looked more like debut momentum than a considered price. Momentum fades, and a stock that tripled expectations in a week can keep giving back ground.

Why dollar-cost averaging is the move Instead of one lump purchase at a price no one can predict, dollar-cost averaging commits a fixed dollar amount on a set schedule, month after month, at whatever the price allows. When shares drop, that fixed sum buys more of them; when shares climb, it buys fewer. Across a volatile stock with a known supply calendar, the math lowers your average cost and removes the pressure to call a bottom that no one can call. For a company with a decade-long story and lockups draining out through December, spreading purchases across those same months lines up with the supply.

The approach has limits worth stating. If the stock climbs in a straight line, a single lump-sum buy would have beaten it. And dollar-cost averaging does not fix a weak business; it addresses timing, nothing more. The case rests on the belief that SpaceX is worth owning for years, with the investing schedule managing volatility along the way.

The takeaway for patient investors The sell-off is uncomfortable, and discomfort is where a patient plan earns its keep. Set an amount you can add on a schedule, tune out the daily move, and let the lockup-driven supply come to you rather than chasing the stock. A brokerage account that supports recurring buys makes the habit automatic. I would treat SpaceX as a position built across quarters, not a trade timed to a bottom.
