Stocks slumped again on Friday, capping off a down week in the market's and surely ruining some folks' weekends. SPACs were not immune as they also generally fell across the board, and newly announced mergers saw little-to-no deal pop (aside from warrants). It's been nearly impossible (save for a few outliers) to generate a ton of pre-close stock price run-up in recent mergers. 

Average-pre deal SPACs fell another 5c today and now are trading with about a 1.14% discount to trust. Certainly some cheap options out there to play for yield + upside potential. 

890 5th Avenue Partners (ENFA) had a bit of an early jump today following the reported 94% redemptions following their vote on BuzzFeed, yet the stock closed down ~3% to $9.62. So not a sustained low float / squeeze run but potentially a few investors clipped a bit of a gain. Not a ton of momentum around this one in the market will be interesting how it trades going forward as it puts a stake in the ground for several other media companies that have hinted at going public via SPAC including Vice Media and Group Nine. 

Apollo kicked off the morning announcing a big SPAC merger deal as Apollo Strategic Growth Capital (APSG) struck a $5.3B EV pact with American Express Global Business Travel. The deal includes a $335M PIPE from the likes of Apollo, Ares, HG Vora, Sabre and Zoom.

It's another bet on a rebound in a post-covid world. Just 18 months ago would you have thought that multiple ticketing / live-event centric companies (Vivid, SeatGeek) and travel-related (Vacasa, HotelPlanner) would all be planning public offerings? APSG rose slightly on the day while the warrants had a nice +48% pop, closing at $1.27.

All SPAC votes were approved today:

• DMYQ / Planet Labs (w 2% redemptions pre-announced) -> PL when it closes
• ADF / Hagerty approved -> HGTY today
• FORE / P3 approved (w 88% redemptions) -> PIII on 12/6
• GIG / BigBear.ai -> BBAI on 12/8 

DMYQ / Planet Labs held up reasonably well given today's overall down market, closing down 5% at $9.45. Many will remember that dMY's previous deSPAC, IONQ, dropped into the $7s before trading over $30 at one point. Many are hoping that DMYQ will skip the drop down and instead just start making its way up.
