uh value but it's just five percent this year's and elon he's got more than 80 percent voting control so it's certainly i suppose uh investors are backing backing him with accepting very limited influence but i'd say hey it's no longer just a rocket company starlink uh that generates the majority of revenue ai and data scene infrastructure that central to the growth story uh really interesting sort of prospectus if you've got the time to go through it but one of the more interesting parts is they begin to uh looking to deploy data centers in space by 2028
Long-term success, this one here, that's going to be whether they can make reusable rockets cheaper and basically turn space-based communications, AI, and computing infrastructure into big new revenue streams.
I suppose index trackers may end up owning the stock before too long, and it will enter some major indices.
It won't be in the S&P 500, as it is loss-making stocks.

There have been claims that the leggings aren't squat-proof, some of them, and they're safer in terms of their recent product launches, so they haven't gone well.
Biggest weakness here in North America, that's their key market for them, sales down 5%.
Going pretty well in China, though.
Overseas sales up 22% led by that country, so solid momentum.
But, yeah, overall, they're getting a bit of a margin squeeze on tariffs, discounting due to, I suppose, poor reception on some products and high costs.
