snippets: Clearly the IPO market is open to the aerospace and defense industry, and HawkEye 360 is looking to take advantage of that," said Matt Kennedy, senior strategist at Renaissance Capital, a provider of IPO-focused research and ETFs.

snippets: The winners in this space have learned from the challenges faced by earlier fintech public companies and have prioritized sustainable growth over rapid user acquisition. Many have achieved positive operating margins while maintaining double-digit growth rates, a combination that was rare in previous fintech IPO cycles.

snippets: Meanwhile, DA Davidson has initiated coverage on Reddit with a Buy rating and a price target of $200, noting the company's potential for user and advertiser growth as it scales. Piper Sandler has reiterated an Overweight rating with a $205 price target, despite a noted drop in user data for March, highlighting Reddit's growth above consensus estimates.

snippets: These valuation concerns are significant because SpaceX's reliance on unproven technology could attract attention from the SEC, which would likely result in a postponed IPO timeline. At a 31-cent price point, betting against the June 30 contract can yield a 3.23x return if the IPO does not occur by that date. This scenario presumes that the technical and regulatory challenges cannot be resolved within 67 days.

snippets: Founded in 2015, HawkEye 360 is a geospatial analytics company offering space-based radio frequency intelligence and data services. Government clients in the United States and partner countries make up the majority of the company's business. Its satellite network is designed to identify the location and characteristics of radio frequency signals across the globe.

snippets: Such a move would open the company to retail investors for the first time. However, leadership has emphasized the importance of financial stability and predictable cash flow before transitioning to public markets, suggesting that timing will depend on internal readiness rather than external demand.

snippets: The June 30 contract dipped slightly as traders priced in potential regulatory and investor hesitance. The September 30 and December 31 contracts haven't moved, holding at 92% and 93.5% YES. The April 30 market is at 0.1% YES with only 6 days left.

snippets: With Reddit trading at $154.89 and estimates implying meaningful upside to some analyst targets and intrinsic value models, the real question is whether the current price still leaves upside on the table or if markets are already baking in future growth.

snippets: The fund has secured $2.8 billion in commitments in a private placement from investors including family offices, pension funds, and insurance companies. They will receive 1.5 shares in Pershing Square for every 5 shares purchased in the new fund.

snippets: These prices reflect $6,884 in USDC traded in the past 24 hours. The June 30 market is the most active, with $5,405 in daily USDC volume. It costs $4,547 to move the price 5 points, which means the book is relatively stable but still reactive to news. A 2-point dip in the early hours suggests some traders are positioning for further scrutiny or delays.

snippets: The valuation question matters because SpaceX's dependence on unproven technology could draw SEC scrutiny and push back the IPO timeline. At 31¢, buying NO on the June 30 contract pays $1 if the IPO doesn't happen by then, a 3.23x return. That bet requires believing these technical and regulatory hurdles can't be cleared within 67 days.

snippets: The split views in this article highlight how wide the range of outcomes could be, so it makes sense to move quickly, review the numbers yourself, and weigh them against the company's potential rewards. To see what investors are optimistic about, start by checking 3 key rewards

snippets: HawkEye 360 filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in April and plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "HAWK," the company said.

title: Hundreds Seek Clean Air Act Exemptions for Coal and Chemical Plants

description: Hundreds of companies, particularly in coal and chemical sectors, are requesting exemptions from the Clean Air Act. Trade groups like the American Chemistry Council oppose stricter monitoring rules for facilities emitting harmful substances. This regulatory push affects an 85-mile industrial corridor in Louisiana, raising concerns about environmental safety and public health impacts from industrial emissions.

title: Permission to Poison? Hundreds of companies ask for exemptions to the Clean Air Act

description: Investigation finds more than 180 facilities across 38 states and Puerto Rico received temporary waivers to tighter toxic air emission standards

snippets: The American Chemistry Council and American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, two trade groups representing chemical manufacturers, sent a letter requesting a blanket exemption for their roughly 640 member companies. "Without immediate intervention, such as a Presidential exemption," the groups wrote, referencing the section of law Trump was using to hit pause on Clean Air Act rules,

snippets: Pyrolysis facilities can emit cocktails of harmful substances including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into the air we breathe. Particulate matter emissions, or tiny particles that can get deep into your lungs and bloodstream, pose another concern, especially to residents who live near such facilities.

snippets: Due to the complexities and challenges that the rule currently presents, we request that the President grant a 2-year compliance date exemption for related emission limits and standards, performance testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements," wrote Jay Su, executive vice president of Formosa Plastics.

snippets: The rule would have mandated better monitoring at the fence lines of Formosa Plastics and other plants. Such facilities can leak toxic gases from pipelines, valves and tanks, and they often vastly underestimate local emissions. But monitoring for leaks has proved effective in other industries; fence-line emissions of benzene, a carcinogen, fell 30% at petroleum refineries after implementation of a similar monitoring program, according to the EPA.

snippets: Tonga Nolan grew up in a region of Louisiana nicknamed "Cancer Alley," close to various chemical plants, including Formosa Plastics' facility. She said that many neighbors in her predominantly Black community have cancer, and she moved away after suffering from the illness as well. (Annie Flanagan for ProPublica)

snippets: An 85-mile stretch of Louisiana, running southeast from Baton Rouge, hosts such a concentration of heavy industry that it long ago garnered the nicknam e "Cancer Alley." Studies have shown elevated cancer rates in the region, home to tens of thousands of people, and local chemical plants received passes on Clean Air Act rules. Louisiana hosts 20 of the facilities Trump has exempted.

snippets: Kevin Wagner, vice president of the medical sterilizer company Sterigenics, messaged asking that nine facilities emitting the carcinogenic gas ethylene oxide, including near Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Charlotte and Atlanta, be exempted. More than 45,000 people, most of them not white, live within a mile of these facilities, according to federal data.

snippets: The White House has focused these efforts most intently on one industry: coal. Trump has so far granted 71 coal power plants — more than any other category — two-year exemptions to the Clean Air Act rule governing them, called the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. Then, in February, the administration formalized the rollback of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, in effect making the exemptions permanent.

snippets: Trump's exemptions give companies an extra two years to comply with updates to nine sets of regulations written under the law's authority that mandate lower emissions or better monitoring around facilities in specific industries. The rules were slated to take effect this year and next.

snippets: It was something in the air that caused them to catch this. It's no way and not a coincidence that 13 people all caught cancer and then later died back-to-back in threes. It just kept happening," Nolan said.

snippets: Sharon Levigne is in charge of Rise St. James, a grassroots organization battling any petrochemical expansion in Cancer Alley. Her house is located near seven petrochemical plants that requested and received exemptions from the Trump administration.

snippets: It always should have been a right. Always. It's our right. People who fought and died to have this wonderful country need to be able to feel like we can grow things in our garden, and we can drink our water," Orr said. "Certainly, you can buy a bottle of water, people used to tell me, but you can't buy a bottle of air.

snippets: In defending the authority to grant the exemptions to complying with Clean Air Act rules that were updated in recent years, the White House cited national security concerns and said the timeline for compliance would require shutdowns or massive capital investments before any proven pathway to compliance exists.

title: Super fly: can an electric aircraft spark a quiet revolution in New York travel?

description: Joby Aviation says its futuristic aircraft reaches Manhattan from JFK in 10 minutes at a 'premium car service' price

snippets: It's neither a bird nor a plane, and it is vehemently not a helicopter, but instead this week some New Yorkers witnessed an "electric vertical takeoff and landing" aircraft buzzing around the city, which developers say could revolutionize travel in New York.

snippets: It's an aircraft, but that's about the only similarities," Eric Allison, chief product officer at Joby Aviation, told the Guardian on Monday. "It takes off and lands vertically, like a helicopter, but it has six propellers, which point up when it's taking off and landing, and then they tilt forward to allow forward flight like an aircraft.

snippets: When it's taking off and landing 100 meters away from here, it's basically blended into the background noise. And when it's flying over a city environment, and flying over at 1,000 feet, which is about the minimum altitude, is basically silent," Allison said.

title: It's not a helicopter: can this electric aircraft transform New York air travel?

description: Joby Aviation says its 'quiet' aircraft travels to Manhattan from JFK in 10 minutes at a 'premium car service' price

snippets: Whether those things are enough to quiet the New York groups who are fighting to reduce helicopter noise, and ban nonessential flights, remains to be seen. Stop the Chop, a grassroots non-profit group which operates in New Jersey and New York, has spent years lobbying against "incessant and loud non-essential helicopter flights over our homes, parks and open spaces detract from the urban oases residents and tourists need as a respite from busy streets".

snippets: But Joby hopes their decrease decibel, and extra environmentally pleasant providing, can be sufficient to rework New York air journey. Whether these issues are sufficient to quiet the New York teams who're preventing to scale back helicopter noise, and ban nonessential flights, stays to be seen.

snippets: But Joby hopes their lower-decibel, and more environmentally friendly offering, will be enough to transform New York air travel. Whether those things are enough to quiet the New York groups who are fighting to reduce helicopter noise, and ban nonessential flights, remains to be seen.

title: Joby Aviation flies electric air taxis in NYC — commercial launch targeted for late 2026

description: The S4 eVTOL covered JFK to Manhattan in under 10 minutes during a week-long demo. Paying passengers are still months away, but the milestone is real.

snippets: Electric air taxis flew point-to-point routes in New York City for the first time between April 27 and May 5, 2026. Joby Aviation's S4 aircraft connected JFK Airport to Manhattan heliports in under 10 minutes — a trip that can take 45 minutes or more by car. No paying passengers were on board, but the flights mark the closest the US has come to a working urban air taxi network.

snippets: Air travel in New York City is heading to new heights with new technology being tested out of John F. Kennedy International Airport. On Monday, a first-of-its-kind electric air taxi took off from JFK Airport. The aircraft by Joby Aviation is a quiet helicopter that can take off vertically. It is apparently 100 times quieter than a traditional helicopter. It seats up to four passengers plus a pilot and includes room for luggage.
