What happened
SpaceX has surpassed Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. in market capitalization, ranking it among the six most valuable companies globally.

The QL Read
This item is filed against GOOGL but concerns SpaceX and TSMC directly; no primary GOOGL catalyst is present. GOOGL's composite signal reads 69/100 with shares up 1.14% in a broadly positive tape (58.9% breadth advancing). Relevance to Alphabet is indirect — any competitive AI-infrastructure or satellite-connectivity angle linking cloud strategy to Starlink would be the connective tissue to watch.
