To The Moon

$Broadcom(AVGO)$ $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $EchoStar(SATS)$ 

📉 What Was Down Today

I’m watching $TSLA –1.3% as US EV market share sinks back to 2017 lows, pressing its triangle compression. I’m also noting reports that Tesla launched a new Weibo account, hinting at efforts to leverage its brand in China’s competitive humanoid robot sector. This connects directly to its long-term Optimus ambitions, even as near-term EV share declines.

$SMMT collapsed –25.2% after Phase 3 trial disappointments, while $CVS sank –4.8% after management refused to guide on government ratings, clouding visibility.

📈 What Was Up Today

I’m tracking $SATS +19.9% after Elon Musk’s SpaceX agreed to pay $17B for EchoStar spectrum, the company’s largest deal ever. $PL ripped +47.9% on an earnings beat and raised outlook, while $QS soared +21% after its solid-state EV demo in Munich ⚡️. $NTNX +7.2% and $TRU +3.7% were added to the S&P MidCap 400, $SPHR +11.3% on show hype in Australia, $BABA +4.2% with $100M startup funding, and $XPEV +3.7% on Mona EV export plans to Europe.

📡 SpaceX–EchoStar: A Defining Deal

Musk’s SpaceX is cutting its biggest check ever: $17B for EchoStar spectrum; $8.5B cash, up to $8.5B in SpaceX stock, plus $2B cash to cover EchoStar’s interest through Nov 2027. The deal requires U.S. regulatory approval and is expected to resolve FCC concerns about unused licenses.

EchoStar also announced a long-term commercial agreement for Boost Mobile users to connect to Starlink satellites in remote areas, cutting into T-Mobile’s prior exclusivity. EchoStar stock jumped 17% on the news, roughly tripling in recent weeks.

Starlink now exceeds 8,000 satellites in orbit, cementing global coverage. Rivals Apple, AST SpaceMobile, and Lynk Global are circling the direct-to-device theme. Meanwhile, AT&T struck a $23B spectrum purchase of its own, underscoring the arms race in connectivity. Carriers $TMUS, $T, and $VZ slipped at the start of the week.

EchoStar’s sudden pivot also scrapped its planned satellite constellation with MDA, triggering contract-termination fees. A prior Dish–DirecTV merger effort collapsed in 2024 after bondholder resistance, showing the complexity of its balance sheet clean-up.

🚨 Options Flow Highlights

I’m watching $HOOD dominate with 1.13M contracts (2× average) on S&P 500 inclusion buzz. $GLD ran 557K calls into its doji at record highs. $AVGO saw heavy action post $10B AI chip order (rumoured OpenAI-linked). $JD lit up with nearly 300K calls, IV climbing +3pts to 38%.

🥇 Commodity Update

Oil rose with October $WTI +0.63% to $62.26/bbl as OPEC+ approved a modest production hike. Gold smashed records, topping $3,600 for the first time, futures +0.7% to $3,680.30/oz. Inflation hedge demand is accelerating.

📊 Market Breadth 08Sep25

NYSE: 2,630 advancers vs 1,621 decliners; 508 new highs vs 58 lows.

Nasdaq: 6,698 advancers vs 4,087 decliners; 1,277 new highs vs 164 lows.

Tech was the clear driver with new highs crushing new lows.

🚀 Index Action

Nasdaq +98 (+0.45%) closed at another record high of 21,799; its 21st record close of 2025. Dow 45514.95 (+114, +0.25%), S&P 500 6495.15 (+13.65, +0.21%), S&P 100 3219.93 (+6.89, +0.21%), Russell 2000 2394.8944 (+3.85, +0.16%), S&P Midcap 400 3296.31 (–0.01%), VIX 15.11 (–0.46%).

🔥 Movers of the Day

$APP +12% and $HOOD +16% 🚀 on S&P 500 inclusion.

$SATS +20% on the $17B SpaceX spectrum deal.

$AVGO +3% on a $10B AI chip order.

$PL +48% after raising guidance.

$QS +21% after Munich solid-state demo.

📉 Sector Snapshot

Mega-cap tech split: $NVDA +0.77%, $MSFT +0.65%, $AMZN +1.51% lifted, while $AAPL –0.74%, $GOOGL –0.41%, $TSLA –1.27% dragged. Semis stayed strong with $AVGO +3.21% and $ASML +1.86%. Staples $WMT and $COST climbed as defensive inflows picked up.

📰 Macro Context

September is historically the weakest month, but when the Fed cuts outside recessions, that weakness flips. With a September cut on deck, $SPX could defy seasonal headwinds. Friday’s weak jobs report supercharged positioning; 5M $SPX contracts traded, the 2nd-highest ever, with traders piling into calls across small caps, memes ($OPEN), and crypto proxies ($IBIT).

⚡ Single-Stock Spotlights

$ASTS slumped toward its 120DMA ($36.86) as $SATS–SpaceX stole the narrative. While bearish flow has dominated (10-day put/call 3.65), today saw 136K calls, nearly 2× average, clustered at Sep 42 and 44 strikes.

$BIDU extended its streak to 7 sessions (+6.56% today, +24% MoM, +32% YTD) on AI optimism and new capital raise. Cloud growth is offsetting ad softness, keeping Street sentiment constructive despite China risks.

📈 Staples as Shelter

Sometimes defense is the best offense. $VDC trades at 20× forward earnings vs $SPX 22×, anchored by $WMT, $COST, and $PG. Historically, staples outperform during cooling growth and early Fed cuts.

🌍 IPO Heat

Goldman’s IPO Barometer sits at 124, signalling robust conditions for issuance. Despite chop, capital market activity is accelerating, setting the stage for more IPOs into year-end.

🤖 AI Infrastructure Catalyst

$NBIS announced a $17.4B multi-year GPU infrastructure deal with $MSFT, anchored by its 300MW Vineland, NJ campus. The contract-backed financing lowers execution risk and cements Nebius as a critical AI infrastructure player.

📌 Technical Setup to Watch

$AVGO is shaping a potential cup-and-handle if it holds $342, eyeing its 52-week high at $356.34.
