You’re Already Too Late for SpaceX’s IPO, but there's a similar dynamic playing out in lithium, with this private company crossing a $1B valuation. Here's how you can invest today.

The market is rewarding tangible results this morning and punishing anything built on hope. A furniture maker and a used-car retailer are climbing on real beats, while a satellite name is up on a successful launch and a recent tech listing is catching a fresh buy rating.

On the other side, a media stock is giving back yesterday's merger-fueled pop after the rumored buyer said no, a cloud giant is slipping on questions about a marquee deal, and even a clean earnings beat wasn't enough to keep one manufacturer in the green. The throughline: proof is getting paid, and speculation is getting sold.

SpaceX plans to IPO at a $1.77T valuation. If true, they’d be the tenth-most-valuable public company by the time the average person can invest.

The lesson? The biggest growth today comes at the private stage, like Uber, which delivered 490,000% returns to First Round Capital.

Now a similar dynamic’s playing out in lithium, with EnergyX crossing a $1B private valuation. Only this time, you can invest at the private stage, too.

Because lithium powers everything from EVs to data centers, EnergyX has earned an investment from General Motors. Demand will grow 5X by 2040, and EnergyX’s tech can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods.

Now, they hold rights to up to 13M tons of lithium across North and South America. Become an early-stage EnergyX investor before the 7/16 deadline.

La-Z-Boy (LZB): +18%

The furniture maker surged after retail sales rose 11% year over year in its fiscal fourth quarter, paired with an earnings beat. In a stretch where the consumer is supposed to be tapping out, a name selling big-ticket discretionary goods posting double-digit retail growth is the kind of surprise the market rewards hard.

AST SpaceMobile (ASTS): +5%

The satellite company jumped after successfully launching three new satellites into orbit, the latest building block in its plan to deliver cellular broadband directly to phones from space. Each launch moves the story from concept toward coverage, which is exactly what holders of a pre-revenue space name want to see.

Figma (FIG): +4%

Shares rose after Citi started coverage with a buy rating, pointing to a $25 billion addressable market the bank thinks is still in its early innings. A fresh bull case from a major desk on a recent listing tends to bring new buyers off the sidelines.

CarMax (KMX): +2%

The used-car retailer beat on both earnings and revenue in its first quarter, clearing the bar comfortably. After a rough stretch for the stock, a clean beat is a reminder the underlying business is still moving metal.

Lionsgate Studios (LION): -6%

The media company fell after Netflix denied reports that it is interested in acquiring Lionsgate, the same chatter that had sent the stock up nearly 14%. This is a textbook round trip: a deal rumor inflates the stock, the denial deflates it, and the buyers chasing the merger story are left holding the bag.

Oracle (ORCL): -1%

The stock dipped after a Business Insider report said Microsoft walked away from a $3 billion deal to lease Oracle's cloud infrastructure over security concerns. Oracle pushed back, calling the details inaccurate and reaffirming Microsoft as a partner and customer, but the market is treating any crack in a marquee cloud relationship as worth a small haircut.

Jabil (JBL): -1%

The manufacturing-services firm slipped despite beating on earnings and revenue and guiding above expectations. When a stock falls on numbers this good, it usually means expectations were already running ahead of the print.

The United States just discovered a massive lithium reserve in the Appalachia region, a 328-year supply based on America’s 2025 import totals.

With Morgan Stanley forecasting an 80,000-ton shortage this year alone, the sooner we can tap into it the better.

For companies like EnergyX, that spells opportunity. Their patented tech can recover lithium 500X faster than traditional methods. And where those only recover roughly 30% of available lithium, EnergyX recovers over 90%. It’s why industry leaders like General Motors have already invested.

With rights to up to 13M tons of untapped lithium across North and South America, EnergyX is already an emerging lithium power. They even just opened America’s largest lithium production facility of its kind in Texas.

All of which puts them on the short list of companies capable of turning massive reserves into fast results. Claim your piece of this lithium boom as an early-stage EnergyX investor before the 7/16 deadline.

SoFi Technologies (SOFI)

SoFi is sitting roughly flat in premarket, but retail traders are watching it closely heading into the Federal Reserve's 2:00 PM ET decision, Kevin Warsh's first meeting as chair. The chatter centers on a fintech lender that lives and dies by the rate path: with several FOMC members reportedly penciling in 2026 hikes, the tone Warsh sets could swing the whole high-multiple fintech complex.

Layered on top is the lingering SpaceX IPO story, where SoFi was one of the brokerages offering retail investors access, keeping its name in front of younger traders. The stock is down sharply over the past six months, so any dovish surprise this afternoon could be the spark bulls have been waiting for, while a hawkish read could just as easily extend the slide.
