York Space Systems (YSS) update by Adilet Zhakypbay. Ticker: YSS Entry Price: 26.21 Current Price: 38.31 Upside: +46.17% “While the financial world is fixated on the AI trend, a new "mega-trend" is emerging in the background: the industrialization of space. With the Artemis II crew completing historic lunar flybys and the anticipation of a SpaceX IPO, space has evolved from a government-only domain into a massive commercial infrastructure market. We recognized this shift early, initiating coverage and writing our investment thesis on York Space Systems (YSS) prior to its January 2026 IPO. Despite a post-listing dip to approximately $22, the stock has shown impressive resilience, recently reaching a peak of nearly $40 before settling around $37 - well above its $30-$34 IPO range. This recovery serves as a strong signal of the market's belief in York’s unique business model. Looking ahead, we see several catalysts that could further re-rate the stock, including the conversion of its $642 million backlog and the continued expansion of U.S. defense spending; the market is pricing in York’s potential to become a dominant, defense-like manufacturing powerhouse. As we’ve learned from our previous successful trades, a winning outcome is only half the story, understanding the fundamental drivers - is what truly matters. We will continue to track the YSS thesis and build out our coverage in this rapidly ascending sector.” - Adilet Zhakypbay, investment analyst

Together with NU Data Science we had the privilege of hosting Ms. Aizhan Adail,Senior Data Analyst in Sustainable Finance at Bloomberg. What stood out most was the clarity around how finance is evolving today. The conversation naturally shifted away from traditional views of the industry and toward a more data-driven, interdisciplinary reality. Ms. Aizhan shared how work inside Bloomberg actually looks on a day-to-day level in execution. From validating datasets used by institutional investors to collaborating across product, engineering, and client teams. Grateful for sharing her experience and giving a real look into the intersection of finance and data at a global level. And special thanks to NU Data Science for co-hosting this session. More conversations like this are coming.

Weekly Macro Outlook — Now Available (Feb 16–21) It’s a holiday-shortened U.S. week, which can compress liquidity and make moves feel “cleaner” but sharper, especially late week. We frame this week as a soft-landing test: can growth stay resilient while inflation keeps cooling, keeping expectations for rate cuts later in 2026 intact? In the report: • Fed minutes (midweek): the tone check confidence in inflation progress, growth/employment risks, and how divided the committee looks • Friday’s double-print: Advance Q4 GDP + December PCE inflation landing together (markets will read them jointly) • Key risk kicker: tariff-related headlines that can trigger abrupt rotation via cost/supply-chain assumptions • Real-economy reads: industrial production (momentum) + Walmart earnings as a consumer demand pulse • Scenarios: Base (in-line inflation + steady growth), Bull (softer inflation → yields down / relief rally), Bear (hotter inflation and/or tariff shock → fast reprice, led by long-duration growth) Linkedin📌 The full PDF is attached below.
