Starlink Direct-to-Cell, also called Starlink Mobile or D2C/DTC

Starlink Direct-to-Cell (also called Starlink Mobile or D2C/DTC) is SpaceX’s satellite-to-smartphone service that lets ordinary, unmodified 4G/LTE phones connect directly to Starlink satellites for basic connectivity in areas without terrestrial cell coverage. As of August 2026, the Direct-to-Cell service has been live since July 2025, commercially launched with T-Mobile in the US. Its constellation comprises…

The Monte Carlo analysis of JPY carry trade

The Monte Carlo analysis of JPY carry trade unwind uses a Merton Jump-Diffusion model to simulate USD/JPY dynamics over a 90-day horizon, capturing both continuous exchange rate movements and sudden discontinuities from forced position closures. The model incorporates calibrated parameters including a spot rate of 158.5, stressed volatility ranging from 9% to 18%, and jump…

Profitability and margin structure. Quantified comparison of SpaceX (Q2 2026) vs hyperscaler models (AWS, Azure/Microsoft Cloud, Google Cloud, Meta AI infrastructure).

https://www.steelldy-indices.com SpaceX has a gross margin of 55.3%, but negative operating and net margins (-1.8% and -6.9%). Only Starlink connectivity is profitable (~+$1.66B OI), while Space and AI segments are loss-making. AWS boasts a 39.4% operating margin (+650 bps YoY), generating ~60% of Amazon's consolidated OI from ~21% of revenue. Microsoft Cloud's gross margin is…
