Space startup iRocket to go public via $400 million SPAC deal
(Reuters) -Reusable rocket developer Innovative Rocket Technologies, commonly known as iRocket, will go public in the U.S. through a $400 million merger with special purpose acquisition company BPGC Acquisition, the companies said on Wednesday. SPAC deals, which took a backseat following a boom in 2020-2021, have seen a resurgence this year as macroeconomic uncertainties led by President Donald Trump's tariff policies continue to temper dealmaking. Crypto firm Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company, with over 30,000 bitcoin on its balance sheet, said it was aiming to list on Nasdaq through a merger with a Cantor Fitzgerald-backed blank check firm. SPACs are being increasingly viewed as a viable alternative to the traditional initial public offerings, which remained subdued through the tariff saga. However, progress in trade talks has rejuvenated investor interest in fresh listings. The company, founded in 2018, specializes in liquid oxygen and methane-fueled rocket propulsion technology, which encompasses a quick turnaround time to reload and relaunch, through its patented engine design. Space startups have also seen a lot of interest from investors and venture capital firms, with the World Economic Forum predicting a $1.8 trillion space economy by 2035. The company also noted the same number, citing a report by McKinsey, indicating it as a major opportunity for the rocket developer. "iRocket's unique combination of proven engineering talent, reusable launch systems, and solid rocket motor capability positions the Company to capture a significant share of the global launch and propulsion market," said Wilbur Ross, the 39th U.S. Secretary of Commerce and a sponsor of BPGC. The transaction, on which Cohen & Company Capital Markets advised iRocket financially, is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025. The companies intend to list the merged entity on Nasdaq. Sign in to access your portfolio

Krispy Kreme, GoPro and Beyond Meat shares soar in revival of meme stock craze
Shares in a donut chain, camera company and meat-substitute maker surged Wednesday in a revival of meme stocks. Krispy Kreme, the North Carolina-based chain with about 350 shops, soared as much as 25% on Wednesday. GoPro, famous for its miniature action cameras, jumped 49% while Beyond Meat rose 11%. 3 Krispy Kreme Cake Batter donuts on display in a Times Square shop. Stephen Yang Shares in Opendoor Technologies, an online platform that buys and sells real estate, plummeted 18% after a wild week in trading – rising more than 300% over the past week. Kohl's shares also fell 13% after gaining about 40% at the start of this week. Social media buzz around the stocks and short squeezes spurred the rally, despite little change in these companies' business fundamentals, according to Daniela Hathorn, senior market analyst at 'Krispy Kreme seems to be the latest addition to the frenzy,' Hathorn said in a note. 'Like the others, there was no significant news to justify the rally, just sheer retail momentum.' It's an apparent comeback for meme stocks, reminiscent of the GameStop chaos four years ago that famously forced Gabe Plotkin to shut down his hedge fund Melvin Capital Management. 3 Shares in Krispy Kreme soared Wednesday. AP Similar to that initial GameStop craze, this latest bout of meme stocks are soaring alongside broader market optimism. The S&P 500 has notched another all-time high and Bitcoin has doubled in less than a year. Call volume on Krispy Kreme skyrocketed Tuesday, hitting a record of over 100,000 contracts trading – about 71 times the average daily volume over the past four years, according to a Bloomberg analysis.

Traders on the WallStreetBets page on Reddit, known for orchestrating meme stock movements, suggested several companies, including Krispy Kreme. The revival started last week, as shares in Opendoor surged massively – though Eric Jackson, founder and president of EMJ Capital, argued that Opendoor is not a true meme stock. 3 A small GoPro action camera. Gabe Shakour – 'I got into it because this is a real business. It's got a real platform that it's built and it's definitely fallen on hard times, that's why the stock is down like 99% or whatever it is from its all-time highs, but I just think the market got overly pessimistic about this,' Jackson told Bloomberg Podcasts on Tuesday. Kohl's, meanwhile, had more than doubled at one point on Tuesday. Other stocks with relatively high short interest, like The Campbell's Co., Aehr Test Systems, Polaris and Wendy's, also attracted buyers this week.
